You just never know what to expect when you are photographing dogs! Each dog has a personality that is unique and special. Darla is a stray, and it is so obvious that she just wants to go home!
I couldn’t have planned this pose if I’d tried!
What a huge grin on this happy girl!
At first glance, this guy can seem intimidating. He can be a bit vocal when reacting to other dogs walking by, and he’s got a huge bark to match his Mastiff body! But when you spend some time with him, you realize he’s just a big Teddy Bear, and a three-legged one at that. He is mellow and sweet and great on the leash. If I didn’t have 3 dogs already, I’d be bringing Eddie home to be my snuggle-buddy!
Who could resist those eyes??
This kitty came to PAWS yesterday wearing a harness! The people who brought her in said that they’d found her tied up outdoors wearing a purple harness. I’m not sure what kind of person would tie up a cat outside on a leash (dinner for coyotes??), but I’m sure glad she ended up safe and sound at PAWS.
Beautiful Lady Gaga!
A face only a mother could love? No way!
This guy is such a sweetie. I hope his family comes for him.
“Trixie”
Determination!
Good catch!
This little one-eyed dog came in to PAWS as a stray. While photographing her, I found that she LOVES to catch tennis balls. That’s right; a little dog with one eye can catch a tennis ball out of mid-air, I’d say 75 percent of the time! (It would probably go up to 90% if the “throwee” had decent aim 🙂 ) I was so amazed and inspired by this happy girl. I wondered, how many humans would stick with their favorite activities after losing an eye, especially if those activities relied on accurate vision? I don’t know if I can say I would. This dog doesn’t know that her depth-perception is affected by having only one eye. She doesn’t care. All she knows is, she loves catching those tennis balls! BTW, she is also very well loved; her guardian called the shelter and left several messages after-hours, looking for her, and they were reunited that day.
Beautiful eyes
How did I get this shot? I took a toy and scraped it on the wall up to my left. Look closely and you can see my arm in the reflection in Nadia's eyes. 🙂
Sweet Dawn
