It’s been a while since I last worked with a German Shepherd or German Shepherd mix so Prince, a recent My Mutt poster model, was just what the doc ordered. Prince was adopted through Rocket Dog Rescue and we met on a foggy, cool afternoon at Bernal Heights park — so much for any city [...]

The other morning I got to do two of my favorite things at the same time: hang out on a beach and hang out with e German Shepherd. Gino, a handsome black GS mix was recently adopted and his new family celebrated by making a donation to Rocket Dog Rescue and memorializing Gino with a [...]

It’s been a while since I worked with a puppy so it was great to spend some time with cute little gal named Olive up in Novato last week. Olive was rescued through Rocket Dog Rescue and now lives with a maltese-poodle mix named Paco (along with some donkeys). It poured the day of the [...]

The last time I worked with Mo’s mom it was on a My Mutt poster for her four bunnies. At a recent animal rescue event she mentioned to the good folks at Rocket Dog that she might be interested in adopting a dog and, lo and behold…Mo! What a find. He’s a sweet old Cocker [...]

Trying to photograph two terrier mixes for a poster is like…? You fill in the blank. To be fair Cocoa and Pip’s owner, who rescued them through Rocket Dog said it would be a challenge but I thought, nah, it’ll be on my turf. No problem. Well, let’s just say it took a little longer [...]

As soon as I heard I’d be photographing a dog named Lola, of course the Kinks song immediately began playing over and over again in my head. We met up at Corona Heights dog park which has one of the best views of downtown San Francisco in the city (not a bad spot to hang [...]

I’m a big fan of interesting pet names though, when I first heard about Coop I didn’t think much of it because I assumed it was short for Cooper. Not so. Apparently Coop was kept *cooped* up a lot before he was rescued through Rocket Dog and there you have it, a name with a [...]

Warning…major, major cute puppy alert here. You’d think that when you’re around puppies a lot eventually the awwww-factor would diminish. Actually, it goes the other way. Last Friday was no exception when I was introduced to Jasper, an adorable muttly mix recently rescued through Rocket Dog. Jasper’s mom, Katherine Taylor, is a BodyTalk practitioner in [...]
