Cute Shelter Dog Photobooth Pics Help Them Find Forever Homes

ADVERTISEMENT

The Humane Society of Utah, an animal rescue and adoption organization in the U.S., is back with more wonderful shelter dog photos. Their ongoing project was started with the intent of casting these adorable dogs in a more positive light to help them find forever homes.

With the help of pet photographer Guinnevere Shuster (a professional photographer who also helps black dogs get adopted), the Center aims to show these cute dogs the way they’d really look if you allowed them into your life – out from behind the metal bars that contain them at the animal shelters they live in.

These pet portraits capture these dogs’ individual personalities, and it looks like the approach works – the dogs that get the photobooth treatment get a lot of attention, and many of them get adopted as well because of these beautiful photos.

Lady – Adopted

“We’re pretty sure a few cartoon artist have used LADY as their muse. This seemingly aloof wallflower actually loves attention after spending a few minutes getting to know you. LADY is a four year old Doberman Pincher. Dobermans are known to be good natured, extreme loyalty, highly intelligent, and have great trainability”

Andie – Adopted

“Looking for someone to keep up with you on the trail, who can make you smile first thing when you wake up in the mornings? You should probably come meet Andie! This 3 year old Boxer mix is a great catch! Not only is she incredibly athletic and great at playing fetch and tug… she also knows her basic commands like sit, stay, down and leave it, AND she LOVES kids”

Charlie – Adopted

“Looking for a pup with a “Can do” attitude, always up for an adventure and ready to be your action sidekick…Then CHARLIE is the pup for you! CHARLIE is a Tripod (missing one of his hind legs) but he does’t let that slow him down one bit! He’ll gladly protect you from all the squeaky toys and hang right by your side”

Chief – Adopted

“Do you like to gossip? So does Chief the 6 month old hound-dog mix. He loves telling everyone all about everything! But don’t worry – unless they speak dog, no one will know your secrets. This sweet and friendly guy would love an active family that will take him on daily romps and teach him how to be a great doggy”

Rusty

“Look at this little love! Rusty the 13 year old Chihuahua came to The Humane Society of Utah with 13 year old Jasmine, and together they make the most adorable pair. We’d love for these two to get adopted together, so we need your help”

Wyler

“Mixing the best of both worlds, handsomely athletic and ridiculously funny, WYLER is just like Chris Pratt! Let’s be honest he’s easy on the eyes and all your friends will love him! WYLER is a two and half-year-old Chocolate Lab, blend of perfection. He’s a fantastic running partner and would love an active family to join him on daily adventures”

Roxy

“Take one look at this precious piglet and tell us she isn’t one of the cutest googly-eyed creatures you’ve ever seen! Roxy the princess piglet… err we mean Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix is only a year and half old and is looking for a life time of love. Roxy is house trained and working on learning her basic commands like sit and down”

Hercules

Holly – Adopted

“With a low rumble howl like Billy Holiday, Holly will win over all those who listen to what she has to say… and being a hound that’s a lot! This 3-year-old Basset Hound flirts with everyone she meets, by batting her lashes and looking up at you with adorable those big brown eyes! Holly gets along with dogs, kids and is even house trained”

Louis – Adopted

“Looking for a well behaved gent who is out of the “puppy stage” but still active? Look no further than LOUIS! This handsome 6 year old Lab mix is getting another chance at life here at The Humane Society of Utah”

Anthony – Adopted

“Meet ANTHONY! He enjoys good conversations, fresh mountain air and making people laugh with his silly shenanigans. ANTHONY is a energetic, one and half year old Lab Pit bull mix who gets along great with kids and other dogs who can keep up. He’s also one smart cookie who is already house trained, knows his basic commands like sit, stay, down AND even can balance treats on his nose”

Sally – Adopted

“Are you a straight-A student, always finishing at the top of your class… the first to blurt out all the answers while watching Jeopardy!? Well, we have just the smarty-pants pup to keep you on your toes! Sally may come off a little shy and reserved but once she realizes you have the intellect to keep up, you’ll have a best friend for life”

Rupert – Adopted

“Curious and clever, RUPERT is eager to learn and please AND find a family of his own! This 3 year old Pit Bull Terrier mix came to The Humane Society of Utah from a another shelter so his history is a mystery, but we can tell you RUPERT seems to get along well with other dogs and LOVES people to the moon and back”

Star – Adopted

“Are you looking for a little lady of love, a bed warmer and daily hug giver? Look no further, we have the cuddliest, love-a-muffin on the market!

There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw

We just adopted a one + 1/2 yr.old dog from the shelter two days ago, and we're in the throes of first love! It's an adventure for sure!

I would definitely adopt Hercules if I could. How could you not want that face in your life? And those ears? That is happiness in a hound!

I'm wondering about "Rusty"...does he have an underdeveloped lower jaw? He's super cute and I hope he gets adopted with his buddy- after 13 years together they certainly must stay together! I have two dogs (both rescues) who hate to be apart- they bond as deeply as humans....perhaps even deeper. Thanks for sharing these pics- a great idea to find these dogs their forever homes
