Horsessssss

I always wanted a horse growing up.  I know most little girls go through a horse phase but I REALLYYY wanted one.  Still do!  As fate would have it, both my parents had horses at some point in their lives growing up so my go to line was often "but youuuuu had one"!!!  This line does not work - believe me, I tried it for 17 years! 

There is something so wise about horses - they don't trust just anyone.  I love being near them, they are so graceful & elegant and effortlessly beautiful!  I was soooo excited to get out to my first horse shoot.  A huge thanks to Ann-Marie for standing in the cold & rain while i took photos of her with 4 stunning horses yesterday :)

  I could handle a few more horsey shoots I think :)

Perth Pets in Need - 2nd Edition

Here are the other six puppy dogs I got to meet & photograph last Saturday for the wonderful people at Perth Pets in Need.  All of these gorgeous dogs are currently spending their days in kennels & are looking for their forever homes so pleaseeee share them around facebook - you really could save a life or two.

Tango is like a cartoon~so much expression on that handsome face!

Billy is honestly the happiest little dog I think I've ever met.  I fell instantly in love with his smiley little face.  Billy was surrendered to the rescue with a bad case of Mange& he had lost most of his fur.  Thanks so some amazing help from the rescue, some proper nutrition & a relaxed atmosphere where Billy feels safe, he is now looking and feeling much better & his hair is slowly growing back.  If Billy makes you "awwww" from his photos - just WAIT until  you meet him!

Delilah is a very sweet girl.  She does have a few issues with Cats so needs to go to a kitty free home :)  She's a cuddler & whilst she needs plenty of exercise she'll certainly enjoy lying next to you on a warm blanket on the couch at night!

Zed is a very attentive young man!  He sat very nicely for his photo & lapped up the attention while he could :)  I just LOVE those ears <3

Alice is a beautiful dog & has the most incredibly sweet personality.  As she entered the play area for her photo session she immediately sat on our helper Alex's lap (who she has never met before) & literally did not move the entire time.  Alice has been in the kennels since she broke her little leg at 6 weeks old - she is now 18 months.  She deserves a sweet, active family who will give her all the love and attention she so wants & deserves.

Luck is indeed a Lucky boy.  Being terrifyingly close to death when his adoptive owners surrendered him to the pound, he was saved by a last minute decision by the Vet to check if he was microchipped - something they weren't planning on doing as his 'owners' had brought him in.   Luckily (haha) he was still registered to the Kennels & was brought back to be given a second chance.  Can you help make Lucky the Luckiest dog in the world by adopting him & loving him every single day???

More detailed information including age & adoption fees can be viewed at this link or if you'd like to set up a 'meeting' with any of these amazing dogs please give the lovely Bec a call on 0405 164 598. 

Perth Pets in Need

If you live in Perth & haven't 'liked' Perth Pets in Need on facebook yet here's the link to do it now :)  By sharing their posts of dogs around Perth in pounds & kennels you can help them save even more dogs on a  daily basis.    I am so thankful I can help them out.  I spent Saturday morning at Paws Awhile Kennels & photographed 12 dogs who are all looking for their forever homes.  A huge thanks to Bec, Kelly, Alex & Kristy for making it happen :) 

Diddles was first up - such a happy little fella with an infectious smile!  He's still young & is good with other dogs :)

Next is Romeo.  He's a big dog but very loving.  He needs someone who will have the time & patience to work with him on his social skills as well as provide him with the attention & love he deserves. 

Coco lapped up the attention as soon as she entered the play area.  With a very sweet personality, she has a pretty face to match!

Sully is such a cutie.  He was focused on the stick i held above my head :) 

Melky is about 12-18 months old & still very puppy.  He has such a gorgeous face & a very enthusiastic personality to match :)

Karma is so incredibly unique.  Her eyes. .  her tongue & you won't believe how soft her fur is!
A goofy lovable girl who will need to get to know you before she trusts you - she was very shy with us for the first 5 or 10 minutes but as soon as her mate Kristy came into the play area she really perked up!

If you'd like to meet or get more information on any of these 6 amazing dogs, please contact Bec on 0405 164 598.  6 more to come tomorrow!!!

Cayden needs a home!

Cayden has been in foster care since November last year - he was given up when his first owner went to jail & consequently could no longer care for him.  He's a big softy who doesn't realise just how tough he looks!  He sits very patiently for treats & is incredibly gentle taking treats from your hands.  Oh, did I mention he's handsome???

Apparently this is his blanky :)  I was most impressed to find it still in one piece - in our house if Jersey's takes a liking to a blanket it is torn into a million mini blankets!! 

This last picture is my favourite :)  It reminds me of a F.R.I.E.N.D.S episode where Chandler can't smile properly when he knows there's a camera watching!!  I love the drool - the treats were clearly VERY tasty ;)

If you'd like to meet Cayden or find out a little more about him please contact Rebecca on 0405 164 598 - Please share Cayden's pictures with all your friends on facebook :) 

MORE Adoptables from the K9 Dog Rescue

Following on from the blog I posted this morning here are the rest of the lovely dogs we got to meet & photograph on Monday at the K9 Dog Rescue in Mandurah.

Poppy has just turned one & was very shy when she first met us.  Genevieve tells us that normally Poppy is a very active little girl but she was extremely well behaved and quiet for the few minutes we got to spend with her.  Once she relaxed a little she wouldn't leave Aidan's side - this sweet Staffy x Bull Terrier will no doubt make a very loyal companion.

This last one of Poppy breaks my heart - I really hope Poppy finds a lovely home soon x

Next up, the handsome Toby showed off for us :)  He has got the cheekiest little face & is a stunning looking dog :)  He's a Red Cloud Kelpie Cross & is almost one.

Tyson is a Bull Mastiff Cross & again is one big sook!  He's a big strong boy who's about 3 years old & has previously lived with children and cats with no problems.  He was very polite & calm with us & has some lovely manners.

Tyson asked me if I could capture his more playful side to show how sweet he is . . I think this picture should do it :)

Tori has a beautiful smile.  She's just over 2 years old & needs to find a home where she will get the exercise this working girl needs.

Beanie is a mix of a few different dogs, which in my experience makes for the most fabulous personalities ;)  He's nearly 1 & was very interested in the treats we had on offer ;)

I think Beanie would make the most fabulous snuggle bunny on those cold winter nights :)

This next little girl is known as Puppy.  She may have already been adopted which is such great news - but Puppy should still get her 5 minutes of fame.

  Congratulations you beautiful girl, I hope you're hogging the couch as we speak in your wonderful new warm, safe, forever home xxx

Tango is the CUTEST.  At 8 months old, he's only teeny & just look at his little face!

Last but CERTAINLY not least we have little Savannah.  She hasn't had her last vaccination yet so we went into her little enclosure for a couple of pics :)  This girl is tooooooooo cute.  Just a baby at 4 months, this Red Heeler Cross will be a fabulous edition to any fit & active home.

I donate my time to photographing these amazing dogs for these amazing rescues & to truely give these dogs the best chance at finding their new homes quickly I would be so thankful if you could foward the link on to as many people as possible - if you're on facebook it's as simple as hitting the share button :)  Please contact the K9 Dog Rescue if you'd like to meet any of these dogs - try walking out of there without one ;) 

Good Luck Puppies xxx
