We had the pleasure of meeting (and falling head over heels in love with) Paisley today. She had clearly been bred repeatedly and was heartworm positive when Dolly’s Foundation rescued her from a kill shelter in central Florida. She went through heartworm treatment and needed a place to crash until she finds her forever home. Guess who came home with us today?

Can you believe that a girl as stunningly beautiful and sweet as Paisley ended up in a kill shelter? It absolutely breaks my heart, and Paisley was one of the lucky ones. She reminds us why we do what we do – so we can save more Paisleys.

We hooked up with Erica’s nieces and enlisted their help for a project we’re collaborating with Dolly’s Foundation and Tampa Bay Bullies on. More to come on this project later… I can’t reveal any details yet, but it’s going to be awesome!

I had the hardest time narrowing down my favorites from today. These kids and Paisley melted my heart. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed capturing them!

Today was Pit Bull Awareness day at the SPCA Tampa, and we had a blast! We got to hang out with our friends at  Dolly’s Foundation, Tampa Bay Bullies and baby Harper!

A former Dolly’s Foundation adoptable, Odin, came out to say hello and get tested for his Canine Good Citizen title. He passed! Yay Odin! Congrats buddy!

Darla also passed the Canine Good Citizen test! Unfortunately I wasn’t able to take photos while I was going through the test with her, so I apologize for the lack of photos!

Please read Erica’s blog post about little Joseph, and be sure to have tissues ready. We had the honor of spending one of Joey’s last days with him before he was released to run pain free at the rainbow bridge. Until we meet again Joey…

To our dear friend Erica, we love you. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything you do for these dogs.
