​Getting a quality photo of a pet when they first arrive at the shelter, is nearly impossible. They are nervous, scared, and unsure of what's going on...Our goal is to take professional photos that captures their personality to help them get adopted quickly, and to help the shelters save more lives!

​

I started Paws & Praise to provide no-cost photoshoots to local rescues & shelters to help innocent pets find their forever homes in an effort to avoid unnecessary euthanasia due to shelter overcrowding, shortage of staff, and low funding.​

​

As a volunteer helping with the shoot, or a business sponsoring the shoot -- we are taking a moment to *Pause* and praise these beautiful animals who landed in a shelter due to no fault of their own. Together, we can make a difference and give then a second shot at a wonderful life with a loving family.
