About Shelter Dogs

Publisher's Description

Photographer Traer Scott's endearing portraits of dogs living in American shelters are irresistible and heart-rending—making a passionate appeal to dog lovers everywhere. Some of the dogs subsequently found good homes; others were never adopted. The portraits reveal the strikingly intense emotion, dignity and, sometimes, humor and whimsy that Scott saw in each face despite the dog's circumstances.

By documenting the undeniable expressions of emotion in the dogs encountered in her volunteer work, Scott raises awareness of animal rescue causes, and especially the need for more adoptive homes for abandoned dogs. This book of true portraits of fifty beautiful shelter dogs is a poignant and loving tribute to all dogs.

For every copy of Shelter Dogs sold, Merrell Publishers is donating $.50 to the ASPCA®.
