Good Ole' Dixie
Dixie and I got to kick it a few weeks back. She was tight. Dixie like other perros, likes pigeons, pigs ears and tacos, like me (the taco part) :)Here are some pics of her wild stay in downtown la.
Bay Area Furry Homies
Went on a last minute trip to the Bay Area this past weekend to check in with the familia and the homies.
Of course it always bitter sweet going there because thats my home, and I miss everyone I see and always wish I had more time with them. But that's life. We are all with each other in spirit and digitally now :)
Here is a sneak peak of three little homies I got to take some Pawtraits of. Hella cute!
Holllllla
Bulldogs Are So Tough!
Just a little baby dinosaur
This Is Chilao, one of the doggies I walk during the week. She is thirteen years old and is a rescue. She used to be a racing doggy until she was four- which is when most racing doggies retire. Chilao is very gentle, sweet and has a very deep soul.
I really love her and enjoy our time together. Baby Gurl :)

Downey Shelter @ Google Dog Day
A few weeks back Downey Shelter was invited to Google to host adoptions and to also take portraits of the Google employees dogs for a donation that goes back to helping the Downey pups. It was a success! Three adoptions happened, more people learned about adopting potential pets from Downey and Joan and I ( another Downey volunteer photographer) got to meet and photograph some Google employees and their best buds.
And yes, the Google office in Venice is as cool as you hear, catered lunches, a cafe, awesome work areas, really cool people and you can bring your dog to work- pawesome!!
Calling All Wiener Lovers!!
Do you love Dachshunds? Do you love them so much you want to squeeze them? Well I have the solution for you! Adopt or foster your own Wiener Baby!!!
If you like what you see below, all these dogs are up for adoption, currently being fostered by awesome humans. If you can't commit, be one of the awesome humans, and foster!

Downey Pups That Need Out of the Shelter ASAP!
You thought the South LA pups were adorbs, how about these nuggets?
In case you didn't know LA and the surrounding areas kind of has a massive over population with dogs- all freakin kind!
So it's up to us humans to help them out and give them second chances.
So, don't be shy, try!
South LA Pups Who Need Adopters or Rescuers ASAP
This past Friday I spent my morning taking photos of mostly larger doggies that are in need of some rescuing! They were all so cute in their own unique ways and I really hope through these pictures and the power of social media, they will get some attention and hopefully get into the loving homes they truly deserve.
I am going to try to go to the South LA shelter every Friday in the mornings to help photograph these babies and give them the best chance of surviving possible. Stay tuned...
The dogs below are available now at the South LA Animal Shelter.
