Kookie!  Rah!! Woof, woof, woof!

Are we in the mood to adopt!  I can’t hear you!!

Hi. My name is Kookie, top right photo. I’m just one of several adorable, agreeable, angelic, attractive, captivating, charming, cuddly, delightful, enchanting, enthralling, fetching, friendly, lovely, ravishing, sweet and winsome dogs ( Yes, I own a Thesarus. Didn’t think someone named Kookie would even know how to use a Thesarus, huh?  I’m reading your mind.  One of my best tricks! ) at the Sacramento city shelter just waiting for YOU to stop by during the special national adoption event this weekend.  You  may adopt us for $39.99 on Saturday and Sunday.  We may be found at 2127 Front St. and photos all the other dogs and cats may be seen on here  http://www.cityofsacramento.org/generalservices/animal-care/adoptions/dog.cfm.

WE ARE FAMILY – ADOPT ME – 3-22-12

Thursday is my favorite day of the week, that is if it’s the day I’m at the Sacramento city shelter on Front St. photographing the dogs.  I want to give a shout out to Gina Knepp, the director, for knowing that photography makes a difference for these pups.  Presentation.  Aren’t we told about first impressions all our lives?  Would Nike ever market a shoe with one of the before photos?  Would anyway?  Photography is a small piece in the puzzle of getting more animals adopted from shelters.  Seeing how loving and sweet and eager these dogs are each week is such a joy.  The puppy who chewed through my sync cord today was especially cute, seriously.

Frank, Charo, Jana, Rocky, and a little Cocker spaniel, are just a handful of this week’s new dogs.  To see all the animals available for adoption go to http://www.cityofsacramento.org/generalservices/animal-care/adoptions/dog.cfm.

CHIHUAHUA GLAMOUR OR NOT – SHELTER ADOPTABLES – 3-15-12

Sometimes things need to be done in a certain way and not everyone approves.   There was no vote.  When the chihuahua’s heard they were going to a photo shoot, they started making demands.  They asked for a limo but got a mini-shopping cart.  They wanted pearls.  They got Mardi Gras beads and ribbons.  Gigi and Little Girl wanted steak and got peanut butter.  Mindy wanted a pedicure, but there was no time.  Lumpia wanted to go to Beverly Hills, but that was out of the question.  (We began to suspect that there has been to much TV in their previous lives.)  Ultimately when the din of their high-pitched barks died down, we could tell they were happy to get out of their kennel for a wee bit and be held.

OOPS, TAKE 2 – SHELTER DOG PHOTO BLOOPERS – 3-12-12

Once a week I photograph dogs at the Sacramento city shelter in hopes that a good photo, a sweet photo, a compelling photo will increase the odds of their adoption.  There is never a dull moment.  Here are some of the bloopers, the outtakes, and the moments I couldn’t resist.  These are great dogs.   I hope everyone considers adopting a pet from a shelter.
