meet connie!

post by leslie

This is Connie, and she is SO ADORABLE and sweet and quiet and perfect. She is six months old and she was found with her siblings in a pen covered in mud. She wasn't socialized well as a young pup, so she's a tad timid in new situations, but she warms up really fast.Connie is great with dogs and is playful with cats. She's a quiet pup -- not too mouthy or hyper, and she only barks when other dogs are barking. She also loves to play -- and is particularly fond of fetch and tug of war.To learn how to adopt this sweet girl, check out her adoption page here. About this projectFor the next month, I’ll feature photos on my blog, my instagram and my facebook feeds that focus on dogs who need homes. These are dogs currently in foster homes, waiting for their forever family. They are amazing pups who will melt your hearts — some are hard to adopt because they are pit bull mixes (the sweetest dogs ever who cannot help their strength) or they have lived on the streets for a long time and are covered in scars or they might be blind or deaf (or both). Some are simply hard to get adopted because they are black, which is the dumbest reason ever. But each dog that has come into my studio in the last few weeks for photos has had a warm heart and wanted nothing more than love. Wouldn’t it be great if one of you could provide that? I hope so. To see all the dogs featured so far, look here. Also, special shout out to Lucy & Co. for donating all of the amazing bandanas!
