August is a big month in the world of animal shelters. Clear the Shelters is an annual nationwide campaign. It is sponsored by NBCUniversal Local (a division of NBC) who partners with local animal shelters in the hopes of spreading the word of animals in need of homes. For this event many shelters reduce or waive adoption fees in an attempt to move furry, feathered, and sometimes even scaly friends out of the shelter and into their forever homes.
For many years the shelter that has been near and dear to me is the Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire (ARLNH) located in Bedford, NH. The staff and volunteers are some of the most dedicated people I know. They are true to their motto “more than just a shelter” as they offer many programs and services (pet food pantry, spay and neuter clinics, temporary housing - just to name a few) to the animals and their humans in the community.
I have had the pleasure of photographing lots of animals for them over the years! Most recently several dogs have been in need of some “glamour shots.” Might you be the human one of these sweet faces is waiting for??
