Red Hook Dog Rescue - Helen

This past weekend we traveled to New Jersey to photograph Helen for Red Hook Dog Rescue. Helen is a 3 yr old deaf pit bull terrier that loves to play ball in the backyard.  She is great with people and kids and is house trained.  She is knows her sign language commands and responds to them quickly. 

She is great on the leash and is one of the most chilled dogs I ever came across. She is a great dog overall and I hope she finds her forever home.

First Trip to the Catskills

A couple of weeks ago, we took a trip to the Catskills - a first for both of us.  Our only reference about the Catskills was from the movie "Dirty Dancing" where the family stays in a resort for the summer.  So we had no idea what to expect.  

We rented a cabin in Andes, NY at a remote location and toured the neighboring towns during our stay.   We saw beautiful farms, open pastures, waterfalls and creeks.  Wildlife was very abundant up there and quickly learned why fireplaces and stoves are more of a necessity that air conditioners (temp drops to about 50 degree at night).  

Below are some of the pictures that I took during our stay.  

Louie's Legacy - Pawla

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.  

Red Hook Dog Rescue - Astra

Meet Sweet Lil' Astra.  Astra is a Pit Bull Terrier who is looking for a forever home.  Her personality is very upbeat and just excited to be with people and to be outside.  She may be deaf in one ear but when I photographed her and used my squeeky toy, there was no issue with her responding at all.

Red Hook Dog Rescue - Bella

One of the other dogs that I was able to photograph last weekend in Brooklyn, NY for Red Hook Dog Rescue is Bella.  Bella is one of the most gentle dogs that I ever encountered.  She is about 5 yrs old and is great with children and other pets.  Once you meet her, you will fall in love.
