Fletcher

Fletcher is a handsome four-year-old Vizsla whose zest for life is infectious. He loves to play in the park every day, grazing on all the smells and playing fetch. He’s never far from his mom and dad, and when he’s at home it’s though he has an “off” switch – he goes from jumping in the air at the park to lazing in the sun spots and snuggling with his people in front of the television or at his mom’s feet while she works. He always has to be touching someone, whether that means pushing his back end into you or full-on spooning.

Unfortunately, Fletcher was diagnosed with kidney lymphoma just before our session. He had had his first round of chemo a few days before I met him, but just like the star he is, he’s bouncing back very well and is still the playful, sweet charmer that everyone knows him to be. Please send lots of healing thoughts to Fletch and his family while he goes through his treatment.

It was such an honor to photograph this gorgeous boy. Thank you, Heather and Rex, for a wonderful session.

Scout & Riggins

All the terriers I’ve met are full of spunk and personality, and Scout and Riggins were no exception! Scout is an eight-year-old golden scruffy mix who was rescued from the Atlanta Humane Society, and her little brother Riggins is a two-year-old white scruffy mix (maybe JRT?) from Orphan Annie Rescue. They are two peas in a pod – they LOVE chasing tennis balls and running around at the park.

Scout is always glued to her mom’s side, leash or no leash, and will play ball as long as you will let her. Riggins is more adventurous and easily distracted, so he hasn’t figured out the returning part of the fetch game, but it is equally entertaining to watch as he zigs and zags all over the field. Scout loves the creek, and for our session Riggins was allowed to go in for the first time and he loved it too!

Thank you, Mary Beth, for such a fun session!

Scooter

Scooter is a three-year-old Wheaten Terrier mix adopted from Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption earlier this year. He was extremely timid when he first came home (he would even urinate out of fear when strangers tried to approach him), but his wonderful family took the time and patience to work with him, and he has emerged from his shell a perfect gentleman! He’s ridiculously laid back and can go to work with his dad where he lies quietly under the desk. At home he’s still very calm and pretty much never barks, but has a playful streak and a complete repertoire of tricks he does for treats.

For his session he came right up to me (a testament to all the work his new family has done!), then proceeded to pose like he was in a furniture commercial in every room of his beautiful home. He loves to nap under chairs and the coffee table, and likes to sprawl out on the bed for a belly rub or a good chew with his favorite toy. It’s unfathomable to think someone could discard a dog like this (or any dog, really), and he is such a poster boy for all the amazing dogs out there in rescues!
