Photo shoot time for the dogs at the Newark Humane Society in New Jersey!

After 2 feet of snow and multiple storms, the weather was, yet again, destined for a blizzard.  Given my propensity for precipitation related driving disasters I was almost deterred.  But really, there was never any other option.  Bundled in the car, my gear and I set off to photograph some adoptable pets at the Newark Humane Society in New Jersey.

Penny

Lena!   Lena has the most AMAZING ears - I love them.  The photos don't even do them justice.

Regis, ID# 122132

Honey Girl!

Maybe your Valentine's day felt a little off.  Maybe it was a little empty.  Maybe it was filled to the brim, over-flowing with love!  And yet... and yet.  Something.  Something was still missing.  Well guess what?  I know what it was.  It was missing one of these faces!

Gordo!  One of my favorites - this guy is beooootiful!

Oly

Bruce - another favorite!  How beautiful is he?

Buster!

Bo - such beautiful, pointy ears!

Nicholas

Sparticus!  Sparticus was hit by a car and only has three legs, but he doesn't let it slow him down. :)

Boon

Gordy, aka Snuggles  - who is VERY true to his name (Snuggles that is).  Not sure how this puppy hasn't been adopted yet!

Rex

Simba!  Another crazy eared pup.

Corey wants to be a model - he rocks the 'dog'walk.  :)

Jacob

Tank!!  Maybe my favorite of the day.  Absolutely true to his name, he is a short stocky TANK of a dude.  So cute!  ID# 122877

Conan!  Another aptly named pup!  If you are a strong man looking for a workout, look no further than Conan because he is as strong as his namesake!

Candy, as sweet as can be.

Angel - and doesn't she look it?  What a beauty.

To start prepping for an event next month, we had a prop change!

Leila just arrive shortly before the photo shoot as an owner surrender.  She's a senior gal with only three legs but is sweet as can be!  ID # 122905

Shannon is a little shy but still very sweet.  I mean - you'd have to be pretty chill to wear that headband thing.  :)  ID# 122809

Emerald/Emmy is a pretty lady and a super good sport.  :)  ID# 122886

Remy, ID# 122265

Diamond!  ID#122265

Melanie, ID# 121325

Clare, Id#122224

Clover

Baisley, ID#121904

PHEW, okay, now it's time to start editing some cat photos!  If you enjoyed those St Patty's day photos and would like some of your own pup, sign up for the event on March 15th!

Valentine Pet Photo Shoot at The Tail Trail in Oradell, New Jersey

What a wonderful day today!  Filled with lots of love, laughter and licks!  So many amazing dogs and amazing owners - it was such a pleasure to meet each and every one of you!

Cynder!!  My lovely little lady - such a pleasure to see you and your mom again!

Penny!

Honey.  If I recall correctly, her dad is a champion show dog!

Dolce!  She showed up in one cute outfit, ready to rock the stage!

Mia & Gracie

Um, can you get enough of these two??!?  Because I can't!!  Mia and Gracie are in the most beautiful outfits, made my their mom.  Buy custom outfits for your dog from Mia Grace Designs!

Beckett! He is a show dog golden retriever - you have never seen a more beautiful, friendly, soft and pettable dog!

Another simply amazingly cute pooch - Duke!

Emma!  What a beautiful and perfect outfit this cutie pie arrived in.  And can you believe that head tilt? Love it!!

Baxter!!   He is SUCH a friendly guy - wants to give so much love to everybody!

Rosie & Annie!  They have such beautiful markings!

Got ourselves another head tilter - Dio!  Cutie pie was a little timid to be the center of attention, but despite the hesitations, he was a good sport!

Okay, one more of Coca because this photo just was so perfect for the event -- check out that heart shaped tongue

For all those who weren't able to make it today - stay tuned for another shoot in March for St. Patty's Day!!

Ms. Bailey's photo shoot - New Jersey

"Few human beings give of themselves to another as a dog gives of itself."

Ms. Bailey is a special little dog - intelligence shines in her eyes and dignity in her step.  She finds time to relax, but lets loose as well - mostly when a tennis ball is involved.  Beautiful and friendly, it was a pleasure to meet Ms. Bailey.  She's a strong little lady and isn't letting any bad news from the doc put a kink in her strut.  She exudes such a love for life, and I'm sure her family is the reason.

Thank you for being such a pleasant dog to work with, Ms. Bailey!
