As many of you have probably guessed by the fact that I am a Pet Photographer, I have a huge heart & passion for animals of all shapes & sizes and it breaks my heart to see them hurt! In fact, I have 2 rescued cats, Lisa-Lee & Poly-Ana who are the light of my life. One came from the local SPCA and the other came from S.H.A.R.E.S in Edmonton. As well, I share every fundraiser & cause on my own page on a regular basis. Animal Abuse takes many forms not just here at home but world wide. I would like to help as much as I can, which is why my goal is to become part of heARTs Speak (artists helping rescue animals) and offer all local animal rescue groups the same deal. Free photographs of their animals to get them new homes found as quickly as possible. I will photograph almost any animal that needs a new home.
So how does this relate to my summer causes project #5? Easy!
1) I would like to do a photo shoot with as many local rescue groups as possible to get as many photos put together of animals in need! Be they canine, feline or equine etc. I would like to use these photos again to compile into a photo book and / or a calendar that would be sold to raise money for local animal rescue groups. In this book I would also LOVE to be able to (and heck I might even have to make it 2 books possibly depending on the response I get) also add in Happy Tails! So if you have rescued an animal from a local rescue group - please let me know! I would love to hear your Tail and also take a few photos to add to the compilation for the book as well! So if you have a rescued animal or work with/for an animal rescue group who would like to participate in this - please contact me!!!
2) I would also like to put together a fundraiser to help local animal rescue groups! I do not know all the details however I am open to ideas, and to anyone willing to help out in any way, shape or form! I am ideally thinking an event in one of our amazing parks, so that we can have several local animal rescue groups come out and show some pets that need adoption, and maybe even get out the local Agility Club and Service Animals to do some demonstrations as well for everyone! Id also like to have some large donation bins out for items that could be collected for local rescue groups such as: Blankets, Beds, Toys, Food & Treats - as well as money! I would like to offer up at the same time - digital Paw-traits for a $10.00 donation to the cause as well at the same time!
Animals love us unconditionally for who we truly are at heart! Their only goal is to be loved in return. Sadly many never see this side of us "hoomans" and only see the worst of our own species. I would love to be able to do as much as I can this summer to help out as many animals big and small as possible! So please contact me if you are interested in taking part!
