Nice Shots. My favorite is the 1st shot. I would crop the second shot in closer, too much background. So glad to hear you are shooting for a shelter, they need more photographers to volunteer to shoot the animals. It makes such a difference in the adoption rate. Good luck. Here are some of the shots I've taken at our local shelter at the Salem Animil Rescue League in Salem, NH. I love doing it and am having a ball. A friend at the shelter and I work as a team, the only way to go. We do the setup and she positions the animals and stands close to keep them in place and either offers them a treat or plays with a toy to keep their attention and get the animal to look in the direction we want. It isn't as easy as it looks, you will be deleting most of the shots before you get the one you want. Patience, patience, and more patience. Have fun.
Here are some of my shots.

I'm thinking "if I were to select an animal for adoption based on a photograph which would I chose?".
The kitten next to Raggedy Ann is the best prospect because not only is it a great picture but I can see more physical aspects of the cat. I have an idea how big it is, how pretty it is in real life, and a clue to its demeanor. Most of the others that are close up may win your heart somewhat but don't show the rest of the story. The grey cat with a reference object next to it is a winner. Just an opinion.

I love them all. Capturing the essence of your pets personalities is not an easy task. Very early in my photography career I once was hired to photograph 2 spaniel puppies, a cat and a rabbit.
I got lots of individual shots and quite a few of the rabbit and cat together and the dogs together. I only managed one of the 4 of them together since every time the rabbit was placed in the frame with the energetic pups it hopped away very quickly. Nice job!
