Letting the Shelter Animals Shine

in

I’m a firm believer of getting the shelter dogs out of their confinement and capturing their true spirit. You can’t rightfully judge an animal for their behavior in a kennel. You have to get them away from the noise of the other dogs and bond with them. You will be amazed at the difference in their behavior.

While intake photos are needed and get the sympathetic “Awwww, poor baby” response from the public, I believe photos of the animal outside the kennel environment draws more attention and ultimately results in an adoption in a lot of cases.

I am Rhonda Tipton and I am a photographer residing in the Houston area. My work includes a wide range of subjects such as portraiture, events and fine art; however, I feel my purpose on this Earth is to tell the stories of those without a voice through my pet, animal shelter and rescue photography.

League City and Nassau Bay this week. The weather has definitely been a roller coaster. Temps were around 65 when I was at LC on Tuesday, but 45 and windy on Thursday morning at Nassau Bay.  Both shelters have so many beautiful babies up for adoption.
