I like the hairs growing out of her ears!

This sweet little thing was rescued from a crack-house. See her pink cast, the one that matches her shirt? Daisy got that cast because she was thrown against a wall. Yes, someone picked up this loving girl and threw her tiny body against a wall, breaking her leg. A human did this to her, and yet, she still loves people and is as affectionate as can be! Thanks to PAWS she is guaranteed the happy ending she so rightly deserves; there are at least 30 people interested in adopting her already.
This morning I photographed two very different stray dogs at PAWS. The first was a huge black Shepherd mix called Saffron. She was as sweet and mellow as can be, but in need of a good bath and grooming. I really had the urge to take her home with me; because of COURSE I need a jumbo-sized black dog to go with my other three! I always seem to be a sucker for the old dogs.
The second dog reminded me a lot of my girl Trixie; she was a black and white pointer. Her name was Tulip, and she seemed very worried and “talked” a lot. She was also very ball-motivated, however, which made for some great photographs! I had a hard time choosing only 3 for Petfinder, but I am pretty sure her family will be coming for her soon, if they haven’t already. This dog was obviously well cared-for, with a silky coat and trimmed nails.
I hope both these sweet gals have happy endings!
Elanor came to PAWS with her puppies and is now ready to find a home where she can have a well-deserved rest! She is extremely gentle and friendly, and has great manners! She’s also very eager to please. Puppy photos coming soon!
Such a lover!

- Sweet Brie
Here is the beautiful Brie, just hanging out in her bed! She is available for adoption at PAWS in Lynnwood. Check her out on www.paws.org!
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!
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!
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.
Zuri, just hangin' out.
