Yesterday, I met three of the shelter’s new dogs: Amos, Charlotte, and Marty. A lot of the shelter’s canine residents were at an off-site adoption event and not many of the remaining four-leggers needed to have their photos taken, meaning we were going to have a relaxed, no-rush photo session. Amos was my first model…
Last weekend, I met Dumbledore, a sweet, affectionate good boy who craves attention and is an avid cuddler, for a fun-filled photo session.

Love is in the air at the animal shelter. With Valentine’s Day only a few weeks away, many of the four-leggers embraced red and pink shades during our latest photo session to get in the spirit. They showed off their sweet looks, let me see their charming personalities, and barked about all things love. Greddy…

New Year’s Eve is approaching, and as we’re preparing to ring in the new year and making new year’s resolutions, the dogs at the Weatherford shelter are doing the same. Yesterday, I met up with some of the shelter’s residents to get the scoop on their hopes, dreams, and resolutions for 2019. I also delivered…
As 2018 is ending and we’re getting ready to ring in the new year, some of us are compiling that traditional list of New Year’s resolutions. If your list includes being more active, you’re in luck—there’s a dog for that. At the Weatherford shelter. Several, to be exact. And they spent last Saturday showing off…
Christmas is just around the corner. The presents are under the tree, the house is clean (enough), and the groceries for a festive dinner are in the fridge. We’re all ready for the celebration. But before we all get wrapped up in eating too much and opening gifts, I want to draw some attention to…

The holiday season is in full swing, and most of us have wish lists, gifting, and decorating on our minds. We have family gatherings and get-togethers with friends to plan, pies to bake and eat too much of, and some last-minute shopping to do thanks to procrastination. We’re busy during the weeks leading up to…
Boss has the tough name, Ray has the tough looks, and both have a loving personality with a touch of silliness and a hint of charm. On Saturday, I had the chance to meet both of them for a fun-filled photo session in the yard. Boss showed off his pretty, speckled coat while letting me…
