Photographer Volunteer - NY
Hearts & Bones Rescue is an all‑breed dog rescue composed of a network of fosters and volunteers who collaborate to rescue dogs from shelters in the south and find them loving, forever homes. Prior to adoption, Hearts & Bones Rescue spays/neuters, vaccinates, and works through various medical issues for each adoptable dog, then places the dogs directly into forever homes or transfers them to dedicated rescue partners.
