Jackson is a dog that’s become very dear to my heart. He first came to my attention when my friend posted an urgent plea on her Facebook page for someone to adopt this gorgeous boy. He’d been at the pound for two months and was due to be PTS that afternoon. Luckily he got a last minute save by a friend of a friend and a week or so later I got to meet him and fell in love. He’s very much like Bruno – one part serious and nine parts goofy – and as you all know, that makes him ok in my book!

Unfortunately that home didn’t work out for him as he doesn’t like being left on his own for long periods. He’s happier with doggy friends and/or an owner that’s home a lot. So, Jackson is living with us until a suitable home is found. His profile is here. Please share it around if you know anyone who might be looking for a dog like him.

Last week I did the last of my rescue catch-up shoots. It was epic, to say the least! I first drove to Sydney Dogs and Cats Home to pick up Xerox and then we made the long drive out west to boarding kennels in Llandilo. Had I not put the wrong address in my GPS I would’ve avoided the huge vomit he did five minutes before we got there, but I didn’t so I didn’t. I don’t have the actual figures, but I reckon about 95% of the rescue dogs that have traveled in my car have been sick, pee’d or pooh’d, so at least I was prepared and not really expecting any less. And no, I don’t think that it is a reflection on my driving, actually!

I started with the Arctic Breed Rescue dogs…

Zuko

Before I completely ran out of light I managed to squeeze in Xerox from Fetching Dogs. He had some energy to burn so I let him have a runaround first.

Then Xerox proceeded to completely win me over with his adorable head tilts.

Round two of playing catch-up with adoption photos! Full details and more photos are at the links below.

With everyone busy over the holiday season it had been several weeks since I last took rescue photos. So last week I had two big sessions to try and play catch-up.

If you know anyone looking for a dog to join their family please share this post.

I won’t lie to you – I knew Fetching Dog‘s Gambit was 99% adopted when I took his “adoption photos”. Generally with odds like that I’ll cancel the shoot, but I had seen many photos of Gambit on Facebook over the last few weeks and I was itching to photograph him before he went to his new home. Just for me, for fun. Because JUST LOOK AT THAT FACE!!!

Gambit has an underbite which makes him look like he’s permanently pouting. Isn’t it just adorable? He also has an extraordinarily long face which I promise I only exaggerated with a wide angle lens in one photo! [Ok, maybe two.]

Gambit’s gone to live with Izzy and her people. He couldn’t have hoped for a better start to the rest of his life. Good luck gorgeous boy – we’ll be in touch for a Bruno play date!
