My first attempt at animal shelter photos - now the dogs

The dogs were more difficult than the cats. If you got down to their eye level you got a snotty nose on your camera lens, to them it means you want to play. I prefer shots without people restraining them, so I did what I could to get a natural appearance. Sissy's face shot was done by husband, ggttc (aka Greg) with D7100 and Nikon 18-55, hand held. The others were by me with Nikon D810 with Nikkor 24-120, hand held.
I'm happy to say that the first dog, Sissy, was adopted the following day after her photos were posted. That makes it all worth it. She came into the shelter a couple of months ago pregnant, had 10 puppies who have all been adopted. It was finally her turn.

Beautiful photos that will pull at the heartstrings of possible adopters. I adopted a pit from a shelter. People keep breeding them, and it appears that about 80% of shelter dogs are pits. I'm sure your beautiful photos will help find them furever homes. ❤

Thanks so much, Bob! I'd love to have 10, and 50 would be a dream goal!
