We were contacted recently by Foster Dogs NYC to photograph a dog in “Fospice” care. Gwendolyn was pulled from the NYC ACC by the awesome folks at ReeFuge Animal Rescue, Inc after her previous owners left her to be euthanized, due to the health problems she has.
Poor little Gwendolyn had only ever known the one family she spent the last 14 years with…and then, she found herself alone and sick, without anyone to love and comfort her…that is, until her foster momma Stacy came into the picture!!! Stacy is such an incredible person to have adopted Gwendolyn, especially since she has so many other special-needs dogs at home. We were fortunate to have met some of these pups…who were pulled from various situations including abuse, abandonment, health problems, etc.
Stacy…you are an angel, and we are so happy to have met you! Thanks for letting us spend some time with you and your entourage 🙂

Going on this weekend, November 16-17, Best Friends is having another Pet Super Adoption. Hundreds of wonderful dogs and cats await their adoptive families and fur-ever homes! We were there to photograph the event on Saturday and met so many of these great animals and awesome people who chose adoption…and chose love. That’s something to be thankful for!!!

I know it’s been forever since I’ve posted anything on the blog. But I wanted to share a few images from last night’s shoot with Harlow the Hippo Girl. Well, no…she isn’t exactly a hippo — But, because some cruel person cut her ears off (attempting to do a home crop-job) she is now left with tiny little ears, like a hippo! Hence the name….hippo girl. When I first laid eyes on her, I couldn’t believe how tiny she was! She is such a petite little thing…but her butt is full of muscle! She immediately warmed up to me (I think because she found my treat bag! haha!!) Harlow would make an excellent hiking partner, or would be just as happy hanging-out with you on the couch! She is eager to please, and wouldn’t mind a belly rub (or two) and some tasty treats in return for her loyalty. She is just a sweet cuddle-bug!!!!
Harlow is available for adoption through Karuna Bully Rescue. I absolutely LOVE this girl! Read more about her here….but grab a Kleenex!

We’ve been keeping pretty busy with adoptables lately…and as much as I love photographing dogs, I’d much rather photograph them in happy homes! Every time we photograph a dog in need of a loving home, I ask myself, “why?” “Why have these dogs been abandoned?” “Why have these dogs not been adopted?” It’s heartbreaking! Until…you meet them! They have such a spirit about them…a spirit that allows them to overcome the unfortunate situation they are in. It is amazing that they can look so happy and run around as if it was their greatest day, ever!
Meet this happy bunch from Stratford Animal Control.

Since John and I are HUGE supporters of animals rescue, we find it only fitting that we give back by volunteering our photography skills to pups in need! We are members of an organization called HeARTs Speak. HeARTs Speak is comprised of all sorts of wonderful animal artists, photographers, writers, and ambassadors who give back with their skills to shelters, and rescue organizations!!! This time we met Riley and Libby (short for Liberty, since she was sprung from a kill-shelter on the 4th of July!) Both Riley and Libby are available through Karuna Bully Recsue.
Libby is a petite little girl! If you are looking for a small dog…but not a “small” dog, Libby is your girl!!! She is so unbelievably gorgeous…and just as sweet as can be!
Libby
Riley is a Pitty Mix (I think he may be part Plot Hound)….he has the most awesome tiger stripes!!! His brindle coat is so gorgeous!!! Riley is such a sweetheart…he is super mellow, and walks great on a leash! He would make an awesome hiking partner! Please share his photo, and contact Karuna Bully Rescue if you like to adopt either Libby or Riley. You will not be disappointed!

Hey there! We’re excited to be getting ready for the 4th Annual Help Willy’s Friends Pet Fair, next weekend!
Come see us on May 20th at Coginchaug Regional High School, 135 Pickett Lane in Durham, CT. Last year we had a great turnout, despite all the rain. I’m hoping for better weather this year, but whatever we end up with will be fine. For now, enjoy some of our favorite images from last year…
