Rio, Moe, & Phoenix

These three sisters make quite the pack. Although they’re not related, Rio and Moe were rescued at the same time from a shelter in Alabama because their mom wanted them to have a playmate, and then Phoenix was adopted from the same shelter three years later. Rio is a yellow lab/boxer mix, Moe is a chocolate lab/pit mix (both ten), and Phoenix is a seven-year-old shepherd/terrier mix.

They all get on wonderfully. Rio is the feisty, spunky one who loves to play ball, while Moe is the snuggly, laid-back girl who thinks she’s a 70 lb lapdog. Phoenix is the energetic, vocal member of the group who always wants to be the center of attention. Rio has the widest, sweetest smile, while Moe has the most expressive eyes. And don’t even get me started on Phoenix’s ears! All three were a photographer’s dream. What a trio!

Maisy & Abby

Anyone who’s met me knows I have a soft spot for mixed breed rescue dogs – so of course I was thrilled when Maisy and Abby’s mom asked me to be their photographer! Maisy is a border collie mix, 15 years young and definitely does not look her age – she can turn on that especially adorable puppy face when she wants a squeaky toy from you. Abby is her little sister, around four, adopted through Atlanta Pet Rescue. (Sheltie? Collie? Aussie? Who knows!)

They are the perfect pair – they can share their beloved collection of squeaky and stuffed toys and get along wonderfully. When she’s not playing ball, Maisy is the lookout, always watchful of cars and passers-by. Abby will help her stand guard from time to time, but mostly she wants someone petting her at all times. She knows that’s her purpose in the world, since she has some of the softest fur around and big brown eyes that will convince you there’s nothing else more important than snuggling with her.

Aren’t they gorgeous?

Annie, Peaches, Pumkin, and Minnie

Get ready for a serious cuteness overload! Annie is a six-year-old American Bulldog/Staffie mix, Peaches is a seven-year-old Australian Cattle dog mix, Pumkin is a 12-year-old Chihuahua, and Minnie is a one-year-old pocket Pit Bull/Boxer mix. Got all that?!

With a pack this size, I expected a bit of chaos and noise at the door, but they are wonderfully behaved, thanks to their diligent humans, a mother and daughter pair who are doing great work in Atlanta’s animal rescue community. It was so much fun getting to know each of these pups, with their individual quirks and charms. Annie is the athletic one who loves to play ball, while Peaches is the quiet snuggler who always wants to be by your side. Pumkin goes crazy for treats, but when those aren’t out she’s busy talking to ensure no one forgets she’s the diva of the house. Minnie is the baby of the family who loves toys and dances for treats.

Now I’ll let the photos do the talking!

Lydia Katrin - I LOVE the pictures! All of their personalities have been captured in the pictures and it is amazing. I love how Pumkin definitely looks like the diva haha, especially that you caught her barking to get our attention.
