In recent weeks we have photographed a couple of dogs that have been looking for that special home that will become theirs.  Each of these dogs was photographed using a fall theme (even though in this part of Florida, we don't see fall - we just feel a drop in temperatures and humidity).  Maxx and Me Pet Rescue is known for taking in dogs that often have a tough past yet the dogs have a great outlook on life and deserve a chance to have a wonderful life.  This week I am featuring two very different dogs that are with Maxx and Me (www.maxxandme.org).

Salem

Salem is a husky mix and is a sweet, yet high energy dog.  She is easy going, but needs an active family - perhaps one that likes to go hiking so she can go along and get some exercise with them.  Salem came into the rescue and had a litter of puppies.  All the puppies are growing up in their forever homes, and now it's Salem's turn.  We took her over to a local park close to her foster home and she did wonderful.  Modelling just like a pro.

Smokey

Our second dog, Smokey, came into the rescue as an owner surrender after being hit by a car.  Poor Smokey has lost both of his eyes due to his early life not being exactly what one would like - but this guy was great at the park with lots of activity going on around him.  It appears that the other senses have taken over a good bit and Smokey relies on his keen sense of smell and hearing.  He was a very good model considering that he was probably a bit confused over what this new job (modeling) was all about....but, once he found those little dog treats - it was like magic in getting him to pose.  Smokey is a full blooded German Shepard looking for his forever home.

Blogging with Pet Photographers

This is a personal project that I try to participate in each week (as much as possible).  This post is part of a 'blog circle' which is with several other Professional Pet Photographers around the world.  Each week a different theme is provided to the group and we, as pet photographers, interpret the theme in our own way.  Follow the link provided at the end of each of my blogs to the next pet photographer's blog - and when you arrive back at my blog - you've completed the entire circle of blogs for this theme.  For more pet photographers sharing their take on this theme, head over to Canberra Pet Photographer Ina J Photography shares how you can display your images after your pet photography session
