I’ve been photographing adoptable pets at local  shelters and rescues as a volunteer for the past few years and like to think of it as something I can do to be a hero for these resilient and amazing animals. Shelter pets aren’t broken. They are like pirates and adventurers with unbelievable stories to tell. They would love the chance to prove themselves. Please consider rescuing or adopting a shelter pet. If you can’t adopt, then foster or volunteer instead, or drop off supplies at your local shelter. You can be a hero, too.
