10 Most Melancolic Dog Portraits From Animal Shelters

July 12, 2012

Traer Scott is a Rhode Island based photographer. These shelter dog photos are from her SHELTER DOGS book which released in 2006. If you are a dog lover (or not), you would love these cute, sad and heart-rending dog portraits living in American dog shelters. With the help of this book, some of the dogs subsequently found good homes; others were never adopted. The portraits reveal the strikingly intense emotion, dignity and, sometimes, humor and whimsy that Scott saw in each face despite the dog’s circumstances.
By documenting the undeniable expressions of emotion in the dogs encountered in her volunteer work, Scott raises awareness of animal rescue causes, and especially the need for more adoptive homes for abandoned dogs. This book of true portraits of fifty beautiful shelter dogs is a poignant and loving tribute to all dogs. You can buy that book and support her respectable effort from amazon.For every copy of Shelter Dogs sold $.50 will be donated to the ASPCA®.
