Book excerpt: "In this book, photographer Traer Scott presents over fifty endearing and frequently heartrending portraits of shelter dogs. These images capture the genuine spirit of dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments, whether playful, proud, inquisitive, or shy. Above all, these photographs reveal the strikingly intense emotion, dignity, and even humor that Scott saw in each face, despite the dog's circumstances. By documenting the soulful, unique characters of just a few of the hundreds of dogs she has encountered in her volunteer work, Scott raises awareness of animal rescue and welfare causes, and particularly the need for more adoptive homes for abandoned animals. This collection of portraits is a tribute to all dogs and will appeal to animal lovers every where."--BOOK JACKET.
Book Synopsis Portrait of a Shelter Dog by : Erica Polites
Download or read book Portrait of a Shelter Dog written by Erica Polites and published by . This book was released on 2013-09-19 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a visual celebration of shelter dogs from three different facilities in Palm Beach County, Florida. There is always more that can be done for the protection and well-being of our domestic animals at the hands of humans. Why not give them a voice - if only through portraits - and let them share their stories...When I first began this project in early July 2013, I thought it would be a very emotional experience to photograph shelter dogs. After all, they usually don't have a great story leading up to their home at a shelter. I cried the first few times I entered the shelters, thinking how hard it was going to be to look at all the dogs behind bars who were crying for attention. But then after I started interacting with them, it became much easier. They really just wanted attention, love and a safe environment. And when we released them to be in front of the camera, most of them just came alive, seemingly to have forgotten any troubling past and "lived in the moment," with their handler and me, as we now know dogs do.I look forward to and relish the time that I spend with "my" dogs. Not only do I, and the dogs, benefit from the interaction, but it turns out that the shelter facilities do, too. I volunteer my time and offer any and all photographs I have taken at each shelter to do with what they want. By using the images as an advertisement of dogs up for adoption, my contacts have told me that people see their photos on the shelter websites and purposely come in to meet those dogs in person! If this is the only thing I can accomplish, then that alone signifies that I'm making a difference in their lives.As is said, "the eyes are the windows to your soul," and because of this, my primary focus is each beautiful pair of eyes. Some of the dogs were afraid to look into the lens-to them it was a big black thing blocking my eyes-yet some were very curious when hearing the shutter click. Also, before I would even start, I laid my camera down in the grass along with my bounce card, and invited them to sniff and get comfortable knowing the camera was not a threat. One dog even found it necessary to "mark" my camera! (thank you very much).The dogs in this book are not posed - I just captured them at the right time. My goal is to show you who they really are so you can see their authentic selves. Some have hair loss, skin damage, scars, crooked faces or signs of cruel treatment. But it's not about presenting you with perfect dogs, it's about showing you who they are, flawed as they might seem. Looking into each set of eyes, you can see the natural perfection in every dog's soul. All the dogs I worked with were sweet, loving and seemed appreciative of the attention.On each facing page, I have included as much information as was available about each dog, their traits, breed, age, sex, what shelter they're at, as well as how they found themselves in this predicament.As of the printing of this book, some may have been adopted, which is wonderful. However many will still be available looking for a "furever" home. If you find yourself wanting more information about a particular dog, I have included each shelter's contact information and website at the end of this book. And from that, if you find your furever fur baby, then I've accomplished even more than what I set out to do.
Download or read book Rescue Dogs written by Susannah Maynard and published by Amherst Media, Inc. This book was released on 2017-07-15 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dog rescue has blossomed in recent years, as more and more people are choosing to adopt dogs from animal shelters and homegrown rescue organizations and have categorically steered away from purchasing dogs from breeders and puppy mills. In this beautifully illustrated book, Susannah Maynard (Cincinnati, OH) provides personality-rich dog portraits and chronicles rescue dogs’ journeys from a turbulent start to a warm, loving, and happy and safe home. Readers will find heartwarming and triumphant stories that point to dogs’ characteristic resilience and unconditional love. Her subjects include puppies, adult dogs, and special needs dogs—of all breeds, and of course, mixed breeds—and her stories will empower readers to join the rescue effort or bolster their efforts to increase their volunteer involvement to better the lives of rescue dogs, one animal at a time.

Download or read book My Old Dog written by Laura T. Coffey and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “No Dog Should Die Alone” was the attention-grabbing — and heart-stirring — headline of journalist Laura T. Coffey’s TODAY show website story about photographer Lori Fusaro’s work with senior shelter pets. While generally calm, easy, and already house-trained, these animals often represent the highest-risk population at shelters. With gorgeous, joyful photographs and sweet, funny, true tales of “old dogs learning new tricks,” Coffey and Fusaro show that adopting a senior can be even more rewarding than choosing a younger dog. You’ll meet endearing elders like Marnie, the irresistible shih tzu who has posed for selfies with Tina Fey, James Franco, and Betty White; Remy, a soulful nine-year-old dog adopted by elderly nuns; George Clooney’s cocker spaniel, Einstein; and Bretagne, the last known surviving search dog from Ground Zero. They may be slower moving and a tad less exuberant than puppies, but these pooches prove that adopting a senior brings immeasurable joy, earnest devotion, and unconditional love.
Download or read book Finding Home written by Traer Scott and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bold, retiring, serious, sparkling, quirky, or lovable—the dogs in Traer Scott's remarkable photographs regard us with humor, dignity, and an abundance of feeling. Scott began photographing these dogs in 2005 as a volunteer at animal shelters. Her first book, Shelter Dogs, was a runaway success, and in this follow-up, Scott introduces a new collection of canine subjects, each with indomitable character and spirit: Morrissey, a pit bull, who suffered from anxietyrelated behaviors brought on by shelter life until adopted by a family with four children; Chloe, a young chocolate Lab mix, surrendered to a shelter by a family with allergies; Gabriel and Cody, retired racing greyhounds; and Bingley, a dog who lost his hearing during a drug bust but was brought home by a loving family that has risen to the challenge of living with a deaf dog. Through extended features we become better acquainted with the personalities and life stories of selected dogs and watch as they experience the sometimes rocky and always emotional transition to new homes. The portraits in Finding Home form an eloquent plea for the urgent need for more adoptive families, as well as a tribute to dogs everywhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, Cara Achterberg’s Pennsylvania farm became a haven for Operation Paws for Homes, which rescues dogs from high-kill shelters in the rural south and shuttles them north to foster homes. Nine puppies arrived with less than a day’s notice; a heart-worm positive dog; a deeply traumatized stray pup from Iraq; and countless others who just needed a gentle touch and a warm place to sleep. The stories of these remarkable dogs—including an eighty-pound bloodhound who sang arias for the neighbors—and the joy they bring to Cara and her family (along with a few chewed sofa cushions) fill the pages of this touching and inspiring book.When asked how she can possibly say goodbye to that many lovable pups, Cara says, “If I don’t give this one away, I can’t possibly save another.” Filled with humanity and hope, Another Good Dog will take the reader on a journey of smiles, laughs, and tears—and lead us to wonder how many other good dogs are out there and what we can do to help.

Book Synopsis Pit Bull Flower Power by : Sophie Gamand
Download or read book Pit Bull Flower Power written by Sophie Gamand and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, pit bulls have been demonized by society and portrayed as hellhounds. They've become the most feared, hated, and abused of all companion animals. Some cities and even entire countries ban them, while the media persist in associating them with viciousness. This unjust reputation has sealed the fate of millions of dogs, who face prejudice around the world and languish in shelters, where they are the most euthanized. In America alone, hundreds of thousands of pit bulls are put to sleep every year. Since 2014, French photographer Sophie Gamand has been composing portraits of adoptable pit bulls from more than thirty shelters and rescues throughout the United States. Many had been waiting for years for a home. Adorning her models with handmade flower-crowns, Gamand tells each dog's story and celebrates their inherent personality, vulnerability, and individuality. Posted and shared widely on social media, the portraits--at once charming, candid, and deeply affecting--have not only led to hundreds of dogs finding loving, forever homes, but have also spurred efforts to destigmatize an animal whose reputation for violence says more about us than it does the character of the dogs themselves. Full of moving, honest, and inspiring stories of individual dogs and their lives (and deaths), Pit Bull Flower Power presents a vivid, beautifully composed cross-section of Gamand's extraordinary work. The book also serves as a testament to the caring people who work in animal rescue, the passion and dedication of those who provide homes for these animals, and the dignity, forbearance, and love of these dogs, who are at the mercy of humans.
Download or read book Finding Shelter written by Jesse Freidin and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-04-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The healing, beauty, and joy of the animal shelter system Without volunteers, our nation’s animal shelter system simply would not exist. Volunteers speak for those that cannot speak, pick up the pieces for abandoned animals that have been let down by previous owners or unfortunate circumstances, and do whatever it takes to heal the deepest of wounds.In Finding Shelter, award-winning photographer Jesse Freidin shows the softer side of this story. He witnessed firsthand how many of the volunteers were able to mend their own emotional hurts with the love the shelter animals gave back to them, and how the power of these relationships transforms shelters into places where humans and animals can heal together. This realization propelled him to take a two-year journey across the country to document the tenderness and healing, beauty and joy he encountered within the shelter system. The result is a heartwarming inspiration for people to look differently at how to save shelter pets. In Finding Shelter, Freidin sparks a new discussion about animal rescue and what it feels like to truly love an animal.
