Giving back is a must for me. My heart breaks when I think about animals not having that warm bed and human to snuggle up with. So in desperation.... I give back! I donate, yes yes I do! I go to rescue organizations or foster homes and photograph animals in need of that forever home. The organizations then use facebook, petfinder, websites, and all those other places people use to find a new best friend and post the photographs. The numbers of views on the animals I have photographed have gone up. The number of view the organizations I photograph for have also gone up. Which means my madness is working!
Unfortunately people when searching for a new best friend make judgments on the way they look. That is where photography makes all the difference.
Things you can do to help find forever homes for the animals I take photographs of.
- BIG BIG BIG..... PLEASE Like my facebook page https://www.facebook.com/toledophotography : WHY? - I post Rescue Animals weekly and with your like you will see those postings.
- Share my postings with your friends and family : WHY? - The photographs you share will reach your friends who might need a new best friend
- Ask your friends to share the postings/photos you share with them. : WHY? - Then those Photographs that they share will reach their family and friends.
End result - More views of the rescue animal photographs. I am not asking you to do anything that will cost money. I am not asking you to do anything that will take much of your time. All I am asking if for a simple click of a mouse button every so often. If that click turns into an animal finding a home.. All because you took a few seconds to share a photo or a page! How would that make you feel?
Now I have your attention. If you have not already please https://www.facebook.com/toledophotography click like now. Together we can help find Animals in need forever homes!
