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.

If you photography them in their cages, you don't have to worry about a snoot on the lens and nothing brings in people to adopt them than to have them in that caged in area. It's a reality call to anyone who sees them like that.

Thanks, whitewolfowner! This shelter wants to feature how sweet they are, not so much how pathetic, though they are pathetic. This shelter, tho, has large cages and dog runs.
