Volunteer pet photographer needed
Sonoran News and FAR work together every week to publish a Pet of the Week – one of the many pets available for adoption at FAR. The volunteer who has been taking the great photos you’ve seen for years is no longer able to take them due to her work schedule.
She also wrote a few words including the animal’s name, age, sex, personality, appearance and contact information for a personal meeting.
If you are interested in assuming this role or training for any of the many opportunities to volunteer please contact FAR.
FAR cannot fulfill their mission without generous help from volunteers. Visit www.foothillsanimal.org to fill out the online volunteer application, call 480-488-9890, or stop by and see them. Sign up now for upcoming training sessions:
