52 Week Project :: Rescue :: Perth Pet Photography

This week’s theme was my pick 🙂  You might not be suprised to learn that I chose ::Rescue::

I’m incredibly lucky.  I work with one particular Rescue on a weekly basis and have met hundreds of dogs that have have been saved from death row and are now treated with every ounce of respect & love they deserve.  Humans really do disgust me sometimes.  The excuses given as reasons for giving up on an animals life see me astonished on a daily basis.  Animal Rescue quickly takes over your life once you’ve looked into the eyes of an animal and seen the terror left behind from an “owner” that should have never been given the opportunity to own such a selfless, loving & loyal creature.  My heart has been broken so many times, and yet every single rescue pup I photograph gives me hope that one day everyone will see the absolute beauty in each and every dog that has been brought into this world.

Yesterday I met 2 of our foster Mum’s at a local Park.  It was heavilly overcast & bucketing it down with rain, yet, to my suprise, both fosters still turned up – stood in the rain for 15 minutes each & let me take some photos to help their foster babies find their homes hopefully a little bit sooner 🙂  If you’re an animal lover you’ll know that the bond you form with them cannot be helped.  I’m such a believer that a foster baby KNOWS when they’ve been rescued 🙂   As I watched Emma walk in the rain with Lucy I managed to capture through my lens exacty what felt in my heart – the love & trust that is only experienced through Rescue.  To everyone who has ever shared a rescue pup’s photo, told a friend they should adopt & especially to those who dedicate their lives to helping the voiceless, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU xxx

Now head over to Pittsburgh Pet Photographer, Nicole Begley & see what Rescue means to her 🙂
