Importance of Pictures

During my summer mentorship, I was also given such the great opportunity to bring my camera and take photos of a handful of dogs for their kennels. Capturing an amazing picture of these shelter animals is so, so important. It's an opportunity to offer a glimpse into their unique personality in hopes to make a connection with potential adopters. After all, there is the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words."

When a dog or cat arrives at an animal shelter, it's often scared, dirty and disoriented. Their photo is taken, and this photo is the face that people see when looking to potentially adopt a pet. An inaccurate headshot can hurt its chances of adoption, but an uplifting, hopeful portrait can save its life.
We all believe that every homeless pet should be represented with a positive, professional photograph,

"One Picture Saves a Life" 

Meet Kitty! Right after we placed this photo on her kennel card, she was adopted the next day. It shows how great she is with people and children. Everyone around her was smiling.
