When we can, we (me and my incredible assistant, Ann) go to the Animal Welfare League of Arlington to photograph some of the animals that are up for adoption. This week, I decided to try out some video to help capture more than just a still image.  These are short little snippets of a few of the dogs (and they have fun music).

To see all of the animals up for adoption, go to www.awla.org.  Oh, and when you go to their website, under dogs, if you look at Buddy or Squirt there is a video they created that is hilarious!

Do you think seeing a video helps get more of a sense about the dogs or is a photo enough? If you were looking online for a dog to adopt, would you want to see video in addition to a picture?

We donate our photography services to create beautiful images of the animals for the Animal Welfare League of Arlington website.  These are just a few of the animals in 2009 that crossed our path on the way to their forever homes.   While we try to capture their outstanding qualities, nothing beats meeting them in person. 

If you are in the market for a best friend or wonderful companion for 2010, please adopt! There are wonderful pets in the shelters, waiting patiently to go home.

The dogs were especially animated today so I wanted to share a few of the images and outtakes.  All of these dogs are currently (as of 8/28/09) up for adoption from the Animal Welfare League of Arlington.

Faster than a speeding bullet . . .

Look, here at the shelter, it’s a dog, it’s a pal, it’s your new best friend!  Run, don’t walk, to the Animal Welfare League of Arlington. 

This concludes our public service announcement.

But WAIT!!!      

                              There’s MORE!!! 

If you go quickly, you’ll be able to see the anti-gravity dog.

This is the second part of the previous post.  These wonderful dogs are waiting to be adopted at the Animal Welfare League of Arlington.

Meet Annie and Angel – they are wonderful buddies and have bonded so much that they will only be placed together. 

And this is Buddy – he’s got great energy and is very athletic and intelligent!
