Week Four, Day One

Successfully Adopted!

I wanted to be sure to have an accurate number of animals that have been adopted in the past two weeks so I asked the Director as soon as I arrived for my photo shoot yesterday. After looking it up on the computer, in the past two weeks sixteen animals had been adopted. Rich, the director, was kind enough to print me out a list of the animals. I was looking over the list and said, "I've photographed a few of these people!" I laughed and Rich reassured me, "Don't worry we do that here too. These animals certainly have personalities of their own."

So after two weeks, a total of sixteen animals had been adopted. Those I photographed include: Sora, Bobby, Miss. Priss, Gabby, Raja and Camilla.

I was then interested to see how many animals had come into the shelter in the last two weeks and I was beyond shocked at that number. It was a total of 131.
CLINIC - 9, OWNER/GUARDIAN SURRENDER - 22, SEIZED - 77, STRAY - 19 and WILDLIFE - 4. I'm most surprised at the number of seized animals, it is greatly larger than all the other categories. With totals like these a lot of photographing still needs to be done...so I'm going to bust a move! :)

  1. That is great that 16 have been adopted. I was actually surprised. I was more taken back by how many enter in instead so it is nice to see a decent about find homes. I wish that the number was even higher!

  2. @Peyton, 16 compared to 131 is a big difference...I wish the number was higher too.

  3. Jess, one thing you can feel really good about is you were involved for almost 40% of the animals who were adopted. That is pretty incredible. Photographs do matter!
