Rosie the Chihuahua is notoriously difficult to photograph. Perpetually on the move, she is very puppy.

Bobby the Australian Shepherd is a Very Good Boy and not even the intended subject of this picture. This was supposed to be a snapshot with Marie (pictured below), but he was so excited about TJ Klune’s Heartsong that he had to jump in early.

Marie the Chihuahua is shockingly agile for her age and spends most of her time scaling to the highest point where people are around. Affectionately referred to as a “parrot” because of her penchant for perching on people’s shoulders, here she perches with Heartsong by TJ Klune.

Bobby wanted more pictures and has very pretty eyes.

Dolly the Australian Shepherd also has pretty eyes, and is the fastest thing on four legs. She loves her pack, her home, and hates riding in cars due to bad motion sickness.

Bobby is back and is such a good boy : )

By Athena Palmer:

Congratulations! You’ve decided that it’s time to adopt a new friend into your life. But… where do you start? There are so many amazing rescue shelters out there that it can be hard to choose. Inspired by The Rescue by T. Jefferson Parker, here are 5 of the best rescue shelters in the country, in no particular order:

Austin Pets Alive!

Austin Pets Alive! is a leader of the no-kill movement in the United States. They focus on creating programs designed to save animals most at-risk for euthanasia as well as immediate, lifesaving care for shelter animals in Central Texas.

Animal Humane Society

AHS is one of the nation’s leading animal welfare organizations, and they’re working hard to transform the way that shelters across the country care for their animals. From innovative medical and behavior programs to investments in outreach and advocacy, AHS is advancing animal welfare and creating a more humane world for animals everywhere.

Animal Care Centers of NYC

The Animal Care Centers of NYC work to ensure that companion animals across New York City are well taken care of and placed in safe, loving environments. They have multiple locations across the city offering all sorts of resources and adoptable pets.

Arizona Animal Welfare League

The Arizona Animal Welfare League is the largest and oldest no-kill shelter in Arizona. They rescue animals that are at risk of being euthanized and help them get medical care and find their forever home. They also specialize in providing resources and training to families in need.

Richmond SPCA

I’ll admit that I may be biased here- I’ve adopted 3 cats from the RSPCA and have had nothing but positive experiences. The RSPCA is an independent nonprofit and no-kill shelter that provides excellent medical care, training classes, and resources for pet owners in Central Virginia. Their resource library and educational programs are extensive and put together with care.
