Shelter-Photography

The Love of Shelter Animals

in ,

I started taking photos of shelter animals in April of 2013. At that point I had been laid off from my programming job for over a year and was looking for something to fill a void in my life. While my wonderful husband and pets do so much to keep me happy...I just felt I needed to be doing something more. Now...I'm not sure what I would do without my exposure to the shelter animals.

When I sit down to process the photos, a smile literally crosses my face and sometimes I'm so emotional, I even tear up a little. I'm happy to make these beautiful creatures shine, but at the same time I hate they are where they are. 

One of the things I love to be able to capture is the unconditional love of the animals...the love between the dog or cat and the people that love them back. The shelter employees, the volunteers, the potential adopters. I have collected some of the moments I have been able to capture and presented them below. 

Thank you to the ones who work tirelessly to heal, find homes and love the shelter animals. You are appreciated more than you can imagine.

I went to LCAS on Tuesday for our normal weekly photos. A few big dogs and lots of little ones. Tae the LCAS Garage cat decided to camp out on my mat, supervising me, while I took photos. Cheryl, the volunteer that helps me with photos took these photos.

I took photos at Texas AC Solutions in Dickinson on Wednesday. They have had so many dogs come in...mostly due to the recent storms, I believe.

I met Cheryl at the League City shelter on Tuesday. I took photos of about 4 dogs and was also able to stay around and get photos of our awesome Hermione going through her K-9 testing. Wednesday afternoon I headed over to Texas Animal Control Solutions in Dickinson. They have several new dogs and cats that are looking for homes. Shelter breakdown is below.

DPS K-9 Testing for LCAS' Hermione

in ,

I had so much fun taking photos of our Hermione doing her thing during some testing for the DPS K-9 Department. The four officers looked and sounded like they had as much fun as Hermione. They said there were a couple of small concerns that they could work with Hermione on. The officers filled out paperwork and took Hermione with them when all was said and done. Great day!

It was another active week. Luckily, I was able to get all of my photos done before the major weather hit. As always, so many wonderful dogs and cats are in need of a home to call their own.
