Finding homes for dogs

our Best friend

Dogs, people love dogs. What's sad is that dogs are taken into shelters everyday, and many are still looking for homes, so I decided to help dogs look for their forever homes using my skills as a photographer.

What I, and many of you probably have noticed, is that dog profile photos on shelter websites are usually unflattering, often with bright scary red eyes from unimaginative angles. A good first impression can change everything, and this is especially important for dogs in shelters waiting to be adopted, because the alternative is often euthanasia. Using my skills as a photographer, I'm working with Elderdog Canada (elderdog.ca) to create attractive profile photos for elderly dogs, so they can be adopted as soon as possible, and live out the rest of their lives in peace.

Sammy is a sweet little guy who found his forever home in Nova Scotia soon after I took his photos. Obviously there is no denying his good looks, but I'd like to think I helped a little.

This week I took photos for Roxy, a German Sheppard mix. She's very energetic despite being almost 11 years old. I hope she finds a home very soon!

Look at her go!
