Here are a few more photos of some of the animal available for adoption at New Leash on Life in Lebanon, TN. If you’re in the area and considering getting a pet, please help theses furry babies out by taking one of them home! The first one is Leah, a Catahoula Leopard Dog. How can you not love those eyes! Second is Goose the cat. She wanted to get really close to the camera! The last photo is of two litter mates that are retriever/labrador mix. The one in the middle is Jetta. I don’t remember her sister’s name. :(   The other dog in the pen with them is Scrappy. He’s a terrier mix. They all need a good home!

Today I volunteered some of my time to photograph some of the dogs and cats at the New Leash on Life animal shelter in Lebanon, TN. It is a no kill shelter that tries to help dogs and cats find new homes. This is where I got my dog, Skipper, eight years ago. It has only recently become a no kill shelter. If anyone the Lebanon, TN area reads this and is looking for a pet, please consider one of the dogs or cats at New Leash on Life. I found them all to be furry babies looking for a permanent home and someone to love. I’ll post some more of their photos later this week.
 

This is Sally. She was a bit shy but quickly decided to share her toy mouse with me!

This is Walter. He is 10 years old and was brought in as a stray. He's a very loving dog that wants to spend his golden years in a permanent home.

 

I'm not sure what this dog's name is, but it was as gentle as a lamb and really wanted to play.

Sparky is a miniature dachshund. He was my best friend when we first met. He used his nose to roll his ball to my foot, so I threw it for him several times and he promptly returned with it. Then I brought out the big mean monster – the camera ….and Sparky ran behind the chair so he could hide. Every time I’d try to get a shot of him, he’d drop his head and look so sad. He walked around the edge of the wall behind some of the furniture to stay away from the monster…..He even turned away when his human mommy was holding him. I made this shot while he was behind a table. He wouldn’t stay in the good light long enough for me to get a really good shot. Once I put the camera away, he was ready to play again. Poor pitiful puppy….

I got a sweet shot of Skipper tonight. He likes to lay on the couch beside me while I’m reading or watching tv. Everytime I try to get a photo of him sleeping he hears me and opens his eyes. Oh well, he was going to have to get up and go get in his bed anyway! :)

This is my niece dog Rosie. She’s spending the weekend while my brother and sister-in-law are out of town. She’s loves Skipper’s squeaky toys. They get a good workout when she’s here. She also likes to wind up and lay in one of Skipper’s beds. She has to go around in circles two or three times to get wound up small enough to fit.

This is Sugar Lump. She’s was recently rescued from a shelter and her new “mommy” thought some portraits were in order.  I think it’s funny that puppies and dogs can be so much like children. Of course we treat them as if they are children so it’s no wonder they are spoiled to the bone. :)  

Since Sugar Lump is only 12 weeks old, she was easily distracted. I love the shot of her looking over her shoulder at the ducks. She tried so hard to be still for me (yes, treats were involved) but the ducks were more than she could resist. We were afraid she would jump in the water so we had to move to a less dangerous grassy area. I was glad I got some actions shots, especially some with her pouncing and running. Isn’t it cute how her ears are flopping in the air?  We’re planning on another puppy portrait session when Sugar Lump gets a little older.
