Anderson County Animal Rescue Foundation (AC ARF) |
Katrina Hall (865) 414-2491 |
We are a registered non-profit animal rescue serving Anderson and surrounding counties. AC ARF is dedicated to helping our community pets and their owners, helping keep pets healthy, happy and in their homes where they belong and out of shelters. AC ARF is entirely volunteer-based rescue and our programs frequently need short-term volunteer help with volunteer opportunities offered throughout the year, including special events and outreach as well as a monthly pet pantry. Some of our events are large and need many volunteers, such as our annual Paws for a Cause Pet Expo in April at the Clinton Dog Park. This one-day very dog-friendly event alone would satisfy the full 8-hour community service requirement for a student’s Tennessee Promise scholarship. Other events/programs offer shorter volunteer opportunities, such as 2 or 4 hours. |
