Photograph animals
Ruff Start Rescue is an extraordinary foster-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit companion animal rescue that radiates compassion and dedication. Their mission extends beyond borders, reaching communities throughout Minnesota and the southern states plagued by stray pet overpopulation. They fearlessly rescue the voiceless victims of neglect, abandonment, and despair — dogs, cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits and many other critters. Every day, their tireless efforts are propelled by volunteers, fosters and supporters who unite as a force of unwavering love, saving thousands of lives. Photographer volunteers help the RSR communications team by taking photos of adoptable RSR animals during photoshoots at transports. These shifts are on Saturdays at the Rescue in Princeton, Minn. There is no minimum commitment. Apply to volunteer at https://ruffstartrescue.org/get-involved/volunteer/.
