There are many rescues out there and I'll be honest, sometimes it's hard to know who is running a good rescue, who's in it to make money, who's deceiving the public, who's hoarding. That's probably the most controversial sentence I've ever written. I try to be pretty careful who I throw my lot in with. Don't get me wrong. I love to help rescues where I can. I take adoption photos and donate money and silent auction items to and run fund raisers with my ice cream socials and other group shoots.

But one I really like is Big Love Animal Rescue run by Lisa Arturo. So when Lisa calls and needs some adoption photos, I'm happy to do so. Right now she has some puppies that are ready to find their forever homes. This is Emmy, the mother, and her litter of pups.

So how about a few images? And if you have room and an open heart, maybe give Lisa a call.
