Pebbles is looking for her forever home

Life
on the street is hard, especially for homeless pets. As a pet photographer in
Huntsville, AL, my work is to create images of animals for their human
families. It is wonderful to capture a moment in the life of a pet for its
loving guardians. But what of those that desperately need a family of their
own? Could I help them be seen by those that are also searching for a new
family member?

Two
friends mentioned Friends of Rescue, and I decided to offer my help. Dana Brown
invited me to visit her art studio and meet three of the cats waiting for
adoption. Lady Mary, Bates and Snuggles
became my first subjects, and challenged me to get the word out: "I am
special, and deserve a home of my own!"

It
is difficult to believe that my first visit was in March. Since then, I have
photographed over 100 dogs and cats of all ages. I have also met some of the
people that make FOR special. The volunteers visit shelters, open their homes
and hearts to rescued pets, take them for vet visits, and then let them go to
their new families. My task is easy: I photograph them, and let them show their
personality to the world. It is a privilege to get to know them, and a joy to
hear when they find a forever home of their own.

Pebbles is a small terrier, probably over 10 years old. She is house-trained, good with other dogs, good with cats, good with children, and eager to please. She clearly lost her home due to the difficulties of the humans involved. Unfortunately, it is shocking how many senior dogs find themselves in shelters.
Pebbles
is very sweet. She is so laid back. She will bark when she wants to go outside
and then bark when she is ready to come inside. She makes sure you don't forget
she is outside. She likes to sleep by your feet and loves to have her body rubbed while she is laying there. She is just a
very sweet senior and would be an awesome companion for someone.
