Just like the song says, everyone would like to be home for the holidays... even the dogs! My job as an animal shelter photographer is to find new homes for homeless pets. And it seems to take on even more urgency around the holidays.
"Snowflake" was an older Great Pyrenees mix breed dog that was brought to the animal control shelter as a stray. She was a very sweet girl, so it was a bit strange that no owner came to claim her. But through her pet adoption photos posted on several national pet adoption websites, "Snowflake" was rescued from the animal shelter on December 20. Home for the Holidays!

 A long haired tabby and white male cat hissing and showing teeth with ears pinned back in a cage in the animal shelter When I arrive at the animal shelter for a day’s worth of adoption photography, not every pet is excited to see me. Many of the dogs and cats in the pound have suddenly found themselves away from the comforts of their home and in a totally new and alien environment. They aren’t feeling too welcoming, and often let me know! Instead of moving to the next and dooming that pet to no adoption photos, I usually try to have patience to see if we can make something good of a bad situation. Some of the cats will initially lay back their ears and hiss. I can’t blame them; I’d do the same to someone invading my space! But a few soft words and a couple of minutes can really change their demeanor.  Aggressive angry tan hound dog with collar barking, growling and showing teeth in the animal shelter dog pound. Many of the dogs can be frightened to find themselves in the loud kennel around strange people. I’ve found that simply sitting on the ground outside a dog’s kennel and giving it a few minutes to approach me will work wonders. I let them come to me, instead of forcing them into a photography session. But occasionally, there are some “bad dogs” that just won’t have any of a photo session. In the end, if I can make it work out, a good adoption photo always produces results and ends up as new homes for many of these homeless pets.
