COMING UP NEXT...
ANIMAL ENRICHMENT DAY
FEB 18, 10:00am - 2:00pm

From zoo animals to our pets at home and even us, we all need enrichment.  A chance to smell a new scent.  Taste a new flavor. Play a new game or figure out a puzzle. Enrichment is an effort to tap into and stimulate our basic five senses: touch, sight, smell, taste and hearing.  The result is to stimulate behaviors resembling those for that species in the wild.  It is a lot of trial and error, but it is always fun. 

Join us Feb 18, 10:00am - 2:00pm
