This 2-year-old hound mix from Mississippi is a sweet, gentle girl, who is a little bit nervous. I mean, let's be fair, she was in a photo studio for the first time and there were popping lights and a stranger with treats, and she was a touch overwhelmed. But she just wanted to curl up on the couch and be petted. Which I think we can all relate to. She’s a good snuggler with strong attachments to her owners. She’s also good with other dogs and cats, and in fact would love to live in a home with another dog. Please adopt her and surround her with love.You can find her adoption information 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 thanks to Lucy & Co. for donating the beautiful bandanas!
