If you know me, you know I love dogs. I adopted Oscar when he was seven years old. I truly believe that rescuing, fostering and adopting dogs is a gift. Not only for the dog, but for the adopter as well.

When my friend, and photographer extraordinaire, Emily O’Brien reached out to her team of senior portrait representatives, of which my Julia is a part, to help on a volunteer mission at Sweet Paws Rescue, Julia jumped at the chance. She has always wanted to help dogs in need but, as life goes, we’d never gotten around to setting something up.

Dogs in Need

Emily brought the call to Julia’s attention and off she went to spend a day she describes as “so awesome and a really positive experience.”

Julia and several other high school seniors arrived at Sweet Paws Rescue to assist Emily and her husband Nick. Together they photographed a sweet slew of puppies who had arrived in from Mississippi, Alabama or Massachusetts.

While the experience for Julia was a great one, the extreme need at Sweet Paws Rescue for foster providers and volunteers is even greater. If you have ever considered helping dogs in need, check out the links below to learn how you can get involved.
