Paws in the Park

Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption held their first annual Paws in the Park fundraising event this Sunday at Centennial Olympic Park and it was a smashing success! They had a fantastic turnout and raised a whopping $144,000 for the dogs and cats awaiting homes. In addition to the actual dog walk, there were demos for sheep herding, Jack Russell racing, agility and more.

With so much going on, there were many dogs and some events I wasn’t able to photograph, but I hope you’ll enjoy this sampling of images from the day.

I wasn’t able to meet everyone, so not all who attended may have been photographed. If you do find your pup in the mix and mark any images as favorites, the system will save them for you when you log back in.

Photos will be posted for two weeks, until October 13th.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by my booth to say hello – it was great to see you and your pups!

These cuties are looking for forever homes through Southeast Pug Rescue, Atlanta Boxer Rescue and Atlanta Beagle Rescue:

Remington

I was very lucky that Remy’s mom is wonderfully flexible and understanding – the day we scheduled our session it was overcast, but there hadn’t been any rain so we went ahead as planned…and literally, within in the first five seconds we stepped out of the car when we arrived at the park, it started drizzling. (Not a single drop on the windshield on the way to the park! Seriously.) We hoped it was just a sprinkle but alas…it was not to be. We took a wild guess at a best time to try again the next day and it turned out to be perfect! So I owe a big thank-you to Brooke for meeting me twice and being so adaptable. 🙂

Remy is a four-year-old Golden Retriever who loves walks, rolling in the grass and watching all the goings-on from his window. We didn’t get to go on-location to a water spot, but he also loves lakes and rivers – but funnily enough, not pools because being able to see the bottom freaks him out! But more than anything else in the world, he loves his mom and being around people. It was so sweet to see how attentive he was with her, never leaving her side and always eager to please. Isn’t he a handsome boy?

Jackson

Jackson, “King of Pup,” is a five-month-old English bulldog who is every bit as cute (and maybe even moreso!) as you would expect. He still has some pudge in his face and the sweet, goofy expressions of a puppy, but he is growing fast and already has a mind of his own! He loves tugging anything he can get his mouth on (hands, shoes, toys, you name it) but also crashes hard too and loves cuddling with his mom.

He was a pretty ridiculous ham for the camera – there’s definitely some celebrity in his blood as he struck a pose on pretty much every piece of furniture we presented him with!

Amy Slack - Thank you all for the sweet comments about my puppy ;). I too think he is adorable albeit a piece of work! I sit here typing and watching him destroy a shoe of mine ;). I can’t wait to see the full scope of shots Leesia took as this preview has me mesmerized! The butt shot is my favorite. I take pictures of it with my phone constantly!!

September 22, 2011 - 6:48 pm

Laine Sweezey - Oh, my Lord, that puppy couldn’t be any cuter!! And the climbing in the chair shot? Priceless!! It would be impossible to choose just one shot out of all of these. (By the way, please ask the owner if I can have that ring she’s wearing.) As always, Leesia, beautiful work!!!
