I plan to keep volunteering during college, so on a campus visit I scoped out the local animal rescue scene. (Circle of Friends Animal Shelter - 3/20/26)
On a weekend trip to see Duluth and visit a couple colleges, I stopped at Animal Allies to walk a couple pups.

Since December 2018 my family and I have volunteered with Turtle Mountain Animal Rescue. We've rescued hundreds of homeless pets, including our three-legged family dog, Chance. We've help set-up/tear down adoption events, load/unload supplies, transport dogs, supervise puppy yoga classes, and often at the adoption events I received the nickname, "Max the Merch Man" and sold merchandise.
My brother and I began volunteering for Golden Drive for Homeless Kids in August of 2022. We have helped Sue and her team with cookouts, sock drives, birthday bags, and shopping to deliver food to kids that may not have a place to call home. Here we finished wrapping boxes for the toy drive.
