How to get a dog adopted?...good pictures!

  Many rescue groups list dogs via the internet, on various websites. Anyone that contacts a rescue group with the hopes of getting help adopting a dog, must provide good pictures. Often people send a rescue group grainy dark cell phone pictures. The dog is dirty with gunk in the eyes (not kidding), and not even looking at the camera.


HERE IS HOW TO TAKE PICTURES:
   Take pictures outside in natural light. Late morning or late afternoon toward sunset is the best light.
   Take pictures of a clean and brushed dog, wipe the face! Have no clutter in the background. Only the dog should be the focus of the photo. Get a good face close up with expression showing and light in the eyes if possible. Also get a standing full body shot. Have a new or clean collar and leash on the dog.


 If you cannot take photos like this put out an appeal to friends and family. This is a way someone can help a dog in rescue, without having to do the work of foster  care. You will be surprised to find people are often happy to help in this way.



    Below are examples of the photos a very experienced foster, and photographer, takes. She knows how important photos are to begin  generating interest in a particular dog. Often black dogs have trouble being adopted. Not when she photographs them!!!
