Where do all these animals come from? After volunteering at the animal shelter for one week, I have learned that there are various reasons of why there are so many animals in the animal shelter. In most cases, the animals are surrendered by their owners and some are found on the streets. We have to confront the source of the issue: overpopulation. Owners are not getting their pets neutered or spayed, allowing there to be too many animals to care for. That is the reason why there are so many animals in the animal shelter. This is an issue that needs to be confronted. We need to raise awareness!

Lady Chops. ID#88373.

This is definitely the photo (out of  my dog photos) that I am most proud of from this week.  This  image has a shallow depth of field, blurring the environment and emphasizing Lady Chops. But best of all is the irresistibility factor of this animal! LOOK AT HER! Her eyes, perky ears, and childlike posture are irresistible. Her eyes are asking for love and affection. This is an unedited image, but after I do a little bit of editing, those eyes will be even more adorable (if that's possible).

  1. Pauline, I completely agree with you about overpopulation. The problem is ridiculous. I love that the WCAC and other shelters make people have their pets fixed. I think that this should become a federal law (though I feel it will never happen.) I love your week one pictures!

    1. Adrienne, I'm sorry I didn't see this comment earlier, but thank you for your response. I agree! There needs to be a law passed that requires all people's (except for RESPONSIBLE breeders) to get their pets fixed.
