Well, I’m always a day late and a dollar short, but I would be remiss to not celebrate National Rescue Dog Day! 🐾
I’ve met hundreds (if not thousands) of rescue dogs over the 15 years I’ve worked as a shelter photographer, this is just a handful I’ve had the pleasure of spending time with in 2026!
I can’t always put into words how much it means to me to do what I do. Everyone loves an underdog story, but people don’t always remember that there are thousands of underdogs (literally) with stories of their own, some just right up the street from you.
So I’d like to not only celebrate the dogs whose resilience, love, and playfulness have the ability to pull me from my lowest depth and fill my heart to the brim each week, but also to remind people how EASY it is to make a difference.
Donate. Adopt. Foster. Volunteer. Follow rescues on social. Share their stories. Often the smallest acts of kindness repeated are the ones that make the most impact ❤️
