For those of you who work with charities - Is it okay to volunteer your time taking photos of shelters animals at more than one charity? Or would this be considered a conflict of interest?

I think it's fine. When I was starting up, I did "adopt me" photos for 13 different rescue groups in our area. Some all-breed some breed-specific.

It's a great way to ensure we can handle just about any kind of dog / temperament before taking money from paying clients.

Thanks Jim!

I have been sending out emails to various charities in my region hoping that one or two would contact me. After what seemed like waiting and waiting and waiting and not receiving a response from the ones I had contacted, I sent out some more emails. Finally the responses are coming in! (3 so far)

I am honoured to be helping and can't wait to get started!
