This is Tommy, the latest in our poster series for the Dogs’ Refuge Home of WA. Yesterday he went to his forever home (Yay!!) but he’s had a tough life. He was found wandering the streets and his flea collar was so tight it had to be surgically removed. If you look closely you can see the stitches on his neck. We are so thrilled he will never have to know such trauma again, and wish him well in his new home. Adopt a rescue! ♥
Here are three of the pooch posters from our “New Home” project with the Dogs’ Refuge Home of WA. So far Georgie has been adopted, which is awesome news – now time for Snoopy and Rusty to find their places with forever families too.
Little Sahara flew around Australia in December to raise awareness for shelter dogs. We had the pleasure of photographing her at the Dog’s Refuge Home of WA and in the studio. She was such a joy to take pics of!
Here’s the fab video clip of her travels – can you spot Team Houndstooth, LOL?

Last week we did a special photo session with Sahara, a sweet and clever ex-rescue pooch. She just finished travelling around Australia courtesy of Jetpets raising awareness and funds for shelter dogs. Yesterday, on her 1 year anniversary in finding her forever, she visited the Dog’s Refuge Home of WA in Perth and met Koko the kelpie, star of the hit movie “Red Dog”! Sahara took it all in her stride – on the other hand, I was totally star-struck by Koko, LOL!
A big congrats to Sahara on her one year milestone. She now has the best life a dog could wish for and deserves every minute of it.

Big thanks to Perthnow and Wangle for sharing their stories! lets hope they find their forever homes soon – they have all been waiting long enough!
We have been working on a special photography project with the Dogs’ Refuge Home (DRH) in Shenton Park to highlight their long-term pooch residents – some of whom have been at the DRH for 3 years. Having met and photographed the pooches, I can vouch that they are beautiful, loving dogs, each with different personalities, and all with big hearts. Surely the right forever homes for each of them are out there somewhere? We now need YOUR help to get these posters out and about in Perth and as viral as possible. PDF versions are available on the Long Termers page of the DRH website http://www.dogshome.org.au/long-termers/ and hard copies will be available from their office shortly. Lets help Axel, Frankie, Tyler, Bailey, Bridget, Bullet, Kira, Bruno and Rusty find their new homes.
