Rescue animals *27 pics*

[.sarah]

I love my new job at our humane society. I was so honored when they asked me to work for them, since I am only seventeen. I guess volunteering since I was 14 finally paid off :D

I am also their resident photographer ;) Better pictures tend to capture the animals personalities more, and this is what they wanted. We have about 20 cats located up at the humane society - the rest are in foster homes. All of our dogs are in foster homes as well, and so are all of the rabbits except for little Angelina, who stays up at the office with the kitties.

We are no kill, so we are very limited in the animals we can take in. Fortunately we are becoming more recognized and we are getting more adopters in! :D Unfortunately, "kitten season" is here and we don't have enough foster homes. We have several bottle babies right now. A few litters are brought with our office manager to work every day, I haven't gotten their pictures yet though.

This is Hattie. Isn't she gorgeous?

This is Queenie. She's one of my favorites, she's such a love bug!

This is Katrina. She absolutely hates having her picture taken. She's been at the humane society for over a year. When she came in she was really skinny, now she's very plump :p

This is Jasper, isn't he beautiful? He is one of the prettiest cats I've ever seen!

This is Sasha. She's very pretty and loves people, but doesn't like other cats very much.

This is Jerimiah, and I couldn't get a good picture of him because all he wanted to do was play or sit in my lap! He is a 6 month old love bug :D

This is Snuggles ... she's been deemed the "evil cat" for now. She's just scared though, and judging by her name (we didn't name her), she is probably usually very good with people.

This is Miramar, and she is my favorite out of all of the kitties (though I love them all!). She loves people and attention! She's also a camera ham. She's up at PETsMART for the week, and I miss having her around!

The dogs are coming next ...

[.sarah]

This is Smurf. He's your typical Bichon, though he is built more like a Basset Hound! He has a very long body with short little legs.

This is Taffy. I want her sooo bad! She is just the sweetest thing, and oh my gosh she is just adorable!!

This is Freckles, and she is our office manager's dog. She reminds me of Mandy so much in her face! Her shape/structure is exactly the same as Mandy's!

That's all! Now who wants to adopt them? :p

They are beautiful, thanks for sharing :)

[lvpets2002]

;) ;) :eek: WOW they are all so sweet & adorable.. I wish I could take them all.. Glad you like your new job.. Hope all the babies get good homes..

Sarah, congratulations on being hired! I can imagine what an easy choice it was for them to select you for the position.

Now let me say that your pictures blow me away. They are awesome! You will certainly be instrumental in getting many of these lovely animals new homes as each and every picture you have posted here seems to feature the essence of these lovely creatures. You might want to consider a career on the side of photographing people's pets. I know that if you lived anywhere near me, I would want you to photograph my dogs.

"Ditto" what Rachel said ~
Sarah, you take BEAUTIFUL photos!!
