Monty & Pearly

Monty is a 4-year-old miniature schnauzer who was adopted from Atlanta Humane Society, and Pearly is his 3-year-old sister, adopted from Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption. One of the many reasons I love photographing rescue dogs is because of all the unique characteristics they have – Monty has the cutest little floppy ears, and Pearl has the most beautiful markings – it almost looks as though she’s had special highlights done with all those gorgeous streaks in her fur.

Monty is always on the go, watching out for passers-by and traipsing through the yard, while Pearly is quieter and more laid-back. Even though they’re opposites, they make the perfect pair: they love to play together, and especially love to snuggle with their humans. I had a wonderful time meeting these two!

Joni Solis - They are super cute. When will everyone learn that they can get adorable and loving dogs from shelters and rescuers and do NOT have to buy one (most pets bought come from puppymills – even when they tell you they do not).

Thank you for always stating if the dog is rescued. I read that it helps other people decide to try the adoption option!

Einstein & Newton

I’m sure you remember the Cavalier King Charles duo Newton and Einstein – they are pretty unforgettable. At our last session, Newton was only 12 weeks old but now he is already a year-and-a-half and bigger than his brother! He is definitely more active than his big brother, always moving and exploring and ready to play. Einstein is more quiet and laid-back. But even with their differences, they make the perfect pair. They play together, snuggle together, and are always by their mom’s side. I love these two!

Some of the silliness that went on before we got the group shot above:

Joni Solis - OMG! Are these two totally adorable and they look like young puppies still. Great photos. My favorite is the two running together with the ball. Love these!

Paws in the Park 2012

Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption held their second 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 over $95,000 for the dogs and cats awaiting homes. In addition to the actual dog walk, there were demos for agility, frisbee dogs 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. To view the full gallery for this event, follow the instructions below.

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 three weeks, until October 18th.

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

And we won’t forget the cats! Sweet Pippi had a rough start – she was run over by a car when she was just six weeks old, but found her way to APRA where they have nursed her back to health and she is now doing fabulously!
