We work hard to find homes for thousands of pets each year from our adoption centers around the country, and a big part of that is capturing each animal’s unique qualities in photos.
A great photo can help a pet get adopted, but it might take dozens of shots to get just the right one. Then there are the other, less than perfect shots that make us laugh out loud. We picked a few of our favorites that show how much fun rescued pets can be.
