This is Gabriel and he is here to make you smile! He's still in puppy territory at 8 mos. old, but he's potty trained and crate trained. He is super food  motivated, and therefore very trainable. Right now he knows his commands, but he's still working on listening. Sounds like my child.Gabriel is good with cats and dogs and kids, so he'd be a wonderful fit anywhere. Also? He loves long walks and playing outside. Perfect timing! You can read more about him and apply to adopt him right 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!

If you know me very well, you know that I prefer big dogs. I like them at least 50 lbs or more and I want them under my covers keeping me warm in the winter. But Rosie here? She is the exception. This little girl, who weighs in at under 20 lbs is a hilarious little dog who stole my heart the moment she came into the studio. She has the attitude and confidence of a big girl, but the convenient size for dog that you could bring anywhere.She's a little over a year old and nothing phases her. Dog? Cats? Kids? Crowds? She's good with all of it. She would make a fantastic city dog as she also isn't a barker!She's house trained and crate trained and don't let me forget to tell you that she LOVES to snuggle. And she loves long walks around the lake. Like, seriously, she's perfect.Go adopt this girl right now. Her information is here.

I mean, really. Look at that face! This is Perdita, and she is a gem!She is 3 years old, and a petit pitbull mix (maybe 50 lbs, but all muscle). Perdita loves kongs filled with peanut butter and long walks. She is super duper friendly and kind, and she adores playing with other dogs. No cats for this girl, however!She's great with kids, loves to snuggle on the sofa and isn't a barker (but she will whine if she wants something bad enough). This girl is a love, and you should probably set up a meet and greet and then bring her home immediately.For her adoption information, look here.

This is Fletcher, and he is hilarious! He's somewhere between one and two years old, around 70 lbs and he is terrified of standing on photo paper (hence the couch photos). He is fantastic with other dogs, and older kids would be welcomed in a new home. He's a pretty strong boy, so smaller kids might be a little overwhelmed by his wagging tail and enthusiastic kisses.Fletcher has great recall, rides well in a car and loves to snuggle. He's extremely food motivated, which means he's totally trainable. He's super comfortable in his crate, but needs a little more training on walking on a leash.If you'd like more information on this sweetheart, go look over 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.

Sweet, sweet Cora is today's Adopt a Stray in May feature, and she's a little bit timid. She's super nervous around new people, and she prefers a quiet and calm atmosphere. Because of this, it's not a great idea for her to go to a home with small children (which can sometimes terrify even me).Amazingly, Cora does SUPER well with other dogs! She warms up to them and seems happier with another dog in the house, so the rescue organization would love to find her a home with this living situation.Cora is potty trained and loves her crate. She is about a year old and weighs around 20 lbs. You can learn more about his sweetheart over 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.

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.

This six-year-old is tiny and spunky! Just look at those expressions! She is a beautiful dog and she’s calm and quiet. She would be better in a home without small children, but is ok with other dogs. And look at those winks!I bet you're wondering why such a cutie is having a tough time getting adopted! Well... Penny's  a little socially awkward (tiny dog, big personality). And if she doesn't know you well, she might try to nip at your fingers (hence the no kids rule). And she has a heart murmur.That said, there is a dog for everyone, and you might be that match!
