Meet Pawla! Pawla is a border collie mix that was rescued from a high kill shelter with her puppies . When you first meet her, she is absolutely beautiful. She is shy and during the photo shoot, was a bit apprenhensive to my camera/flash but I am sure with more exposure to new experiences, she will adapt pretty quickly.
If you would like more information about her, here is her full bio.

Lil' Mamma is your dog! She is really such a calm and gentle dog that is just so easy going. She is up for adoption from Louie's Legacy, here is her full profile.
Woohoo! I am happy to hear that Washington, from Louie's Legacy, was adopted today. He is going to a home where they adopted another dog from Louie's Legacy a couple of years ago. So Washington is going to have a companion. Great news!
We just want to wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day and lets welcome the summer of 2015!
Pictured above: Left Portrait - Shaka, Right Portrait - Rival
A few weeks ago, I've received news that Shaka, the dog photographed on the left, passed away. Rival, photographed on the right, is her long term companion.
They both stayed over last summer at Exercise My Mutt for boarding and daycare. From what I remember, they were inseparable, if Shaka wanted to rest at a spot where the sun was spilling into the room, Rival was right there accompanying her. It was a very sweet relationship.
When Shaka passed away, it was hard for Rival to cope. So Rival returned to EMM (Exercise My Mutt) for weekly daycare to get his mind off from his loss. Slowly but surely, he is having a great time at day care and we are happy to have him in our family.
A couple of months ago, I applied to be a member of HeARTspeak, which is an organization that gathers photographers and artists to capture adoptable pets in various animal shelters across the world. We, as artists, capture the essence and personality of these animals through our photographs, which are then presented in the adoption websites. The goal is that these photographs will lead to a faster adoption rate for the shelters.
After officially being accepted by HeARTspeak, I applied to volunteer for Louie's Legacy in Staten Island as a photographer. They immediately contacted me and invited me to one of their adoption events that occurred at the Westerleigh Folk Festival this past Saturday.
Remember that scene in Goodfellas where Karen gets married and she is just overwhelmed from meeting soo many people? That was how I felt when meeting the staff and foster parents at Louie's Legacy, there were alot of people working the tables and soo many foster families taking care of adoptable dogs. It really puts into perspective how many pets really NEED a home.
If you are interested in any of the captured dogs, I hyperlinked the images to their adoption profiles in Petfinder.
(BTW, by the time I was composing this post, I believe some of the pets that I've met were being adopted since I couldn't find their entry on Petfinder. Wow, things move fast!)
Dilly and Fluffy, two dogs that need to be adopted together. Supposedly they are senior but there was nothing senior about Dilly. His energy was good and loved attention.
Blaxx is one of the most handsomest dog (beside Jameson and Rusty) that I've ever seen. He sat well for the camera.
Taylor - Just adorable. Enough Said
Jack - really great energy and personality.
