Dr. Danielle Boyd is our incredible guest today. She is a veterinarian in the middle of her ophthalmology residency in San Antonio, Texas. She is known for being the amazing human companion to a beautiful dog named Squish whose story has gone completely viral through The Dodo, Rachael Ray, and many other features in print, social media, and television. Squish’s story began as a puppy when he suffered blunt force trauma to the head. With the help of rescue organizations and surgeons, they saved Squish’s life. He lost an eye and lives with a famously crooked jaw, which his fans cannot stop sharing about through photos, videos, and news articles. Some of his fans even share original drawings and other artwork! A lot of animals would not have survived this far in the journey. Learn how an encounter between Dr. Danielle Boyd and “A Pup Named Squish” made a big difference.

After adopting an Irish sight hound, her dog Lily, Laura Schenone discovers a remarkable and little-known fight to gain justice for dogs and for all animals. Greyhounds, bred to be the fastest dogs on earth, are beautiful, gentle, and astonishing creatures. Yet for decades, countless numbers of them have been abandoned and destroyed every year once they can no longer compete and win. The Dogs of Avalon introduces us to the strong-willed Marion Fitzgibbon, born in rural Ireland, where animals are valued for their utility. But Fitzgibbon believes suffering is felt by all creatures and champions the cause of strays, baffling those around her—including her family—as she, and a group of local women rescue any animal in need, taking on increasingly risky missions.

Author and former U.S. Marine Craig Grossi shares the story behind his book “Craig & Fred: A Marine, A Stray Dog, And How They Rescued Each Other.” Goes on sale Tuesday, October 31, 2017! In 2010, Sergeant Craig Grossi was doing intelligence work for Marine RECON—the most elite fighters in the Corps—in a remote part of Afghanistan. While on patrol, he spotted a young dog "with a big goofy head and little legs" who didn’t seem vicious or run in a pack like most strays they’d encountered. After eating a piece of beef jerky Craig offered—against military regulations—the dog began to follow him. "Looks like you made a friend," another Marine yelled. Grossi heard, "Looks like a 'Fred.'" The name stuck, and a beautiful, life-changing friendship was forged. Fred not only stole Craig’s heart; he won over the RECON fighters, who helped Craig smuggle the dog into heavily fortified Camp Leatherneck in a duffel bag—risking jail and Fred’s life. With the help of a crew of DHL workers, a sympathetic vet, and a military dog handler, Fred eventually made it to Craig’s family in Virginia.

Sherri Franklin, Founder and CEO of Muttville Senior Dog Rescue in San Francisco, shares her journey in animal rescue at the Rescue Think Tank as she celebrates Muttville’s Tenth Anniversary. Sherri Franklin, a long-time animal advocate and shelter volunteer, founded Muttville in 2007 to save the lives of the older dogs that were considered “unadoptable” and routinely euthanized in area shelters. Working from her house, she saved 27 dogs that first year. She said she “wanted to make senior dogs sexy,” and in fact, has turned the organization into a Bay Area favorite and a national model. In 2010, Sherri received the Jefferson Award for Public Service, which recognizes those who “inspire others to service.” In 2016, CNN named Sherri a CNN Hero.

Karen Schaver and Paul Griffin are our amazing guests today. Karen Schaver runs Orphan Dog Rescue in beautiful Lake County, California. She talks with us about her goal to bring as many dogs to the Bay Area Pet Fair this weekend, with the hope of clearing out the shelters. Paul Griffin is an accomplished author, with his newest children’s book, Saving Marty, launching on Tuesday, September 19. He is also a first-time father, with his adopted and musically talented teenage daughter, Ani. He shares about the book and his incredible journey with Ani. Orphan Dog Rescuet http://www.orphandog.org Facebook https://www.facebook.com/OrphanDog/ Orphan Dog Ranch now homes an average of 250 dogs every year that are rescued from Northern California and high-kill shelters in Southern California and other overpopulated shelters. Karen and her devoted team of dedicated volunteers drive 2 hours each way, every Saturday, to set up adoption events in Petaluma, Novato, and San Rafael as well as other Bay Area locations. Thank you Karen! Paul Griffin https://www.paulgriffinstories.com Facebook https://www.facebook.com/paulgriffinstories/ Saving Marty Eleven-year-old Lorenzo Ventura knows heroes are rare—like his father, who died in the war, or his friend Paloma Lee, who fearlessly pursues her dream of being a famous musician. Renzo would never describe himself as a hero, but his chance comes when he adopts Marty, a runt piglet. Thank you Paul!

Laura Schenone reads from The Dogs of Avalon and Harold discusses his ten-month journey as a first-time vegan and the positive impact on his health. Laura’s book goes on sale Tuesday, August 22, 2017. The Dogs of Avalon introduces us to the strong-willed Marion Fitzgibbon, born in rural Ireland, where animals are valued for their utility. But Fitzgibbon believes suffering is felt by all creatures and champions the cause of strays, baffling those around her—including her family—as she, and a group of local women rescue any animal in need, taking on increasingly risky missions. Website http://lauraschenone.com Facebook https://www.facebook.com/LauraSchenoneAuthor/ Laura’s Books http://lauraschenone.com/books Notes Some of my favorite vegan dishes are bean and rice burritos, lentil soup, falafel wraps, hummus, miso ramen, vegetarian potstickers, fried rice, french fries (in moderation), almond butter and jelly sandwiches, fresh fruits and vegetables, green smoothies, and asian tofu and veggie stir-frys.

After adopting an Irish sight hound, her dog Lily, Laura Schenone discovers a remarkable and little-known fight to gain justice for dogs and for all animals. Greyhounds, bred to be the fastest dogs on earth, are beautiful, gentle, and astonishing creatures. Yet for decades, countless numbers of them have been abandoned and destroyed every year once they can no longer compete and win. The Dogs of Avalon introduces us to the strong-willed Marion Fitzgibbon, born in rural Ireland, where animals are valued for their utility. But Fitzgibbon believes suffering is felt by all creatures and champions the cause of strays, baffling those around her—including her family—as she, and a group of local women rescue any animal in need, taking on increasingly risky missions. Website http://lauraschenone.com Facebook https://www.facebook.com/LauraSchenoneAuthor/ Laura’s Books http://lauraschenone.com/books Notes Owen Patrick Smith (1869-1927) is the American who invented the mechanical rabbit, which sparked the beginnings of greyhound racing. Beverly Wolf is the woman who worked very closely with Marion for two decades. Beverly and her husband housed many of the animals that they saved.

Joanne Greene is our amazing guest. She watched news of the human and animal suffering that Hurricane Katrina caused in 2005, and instead of staying put, she decided to do something about it. Forces of Nature is a book based on her experiences as well as those of Penny Koncz. Forces of Nature, written by Graham Spence https://www.amazon.com/Forces-Nature-incredible-courageous-devastation/dp/1535578173/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8 Graham Spence can be found at http://www.grahamspence.com Forces of Nature by author Graham Spence is the remarkable story of the courage and commitment of two ordinary women who put their lives, jobs and families on hold to rescue hundreds of thousands of pets fighting for their lives when Hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans. Joanne Greene, a former Playboy Bunny, and Penny Koncz, an award winning Michigan body builder, watched with horror as almost the entire pet population of one of American’s most iconic cities was abandoned and some even shot in the aftermath of the third most powerful Atlantic storm in history. While humans were ordered to evacuate New Orleans in 2005, no provision was made for the estimated 300,000 pets. Many were left in homes with a bowl of food and water, as their owners expected to return soon. No one was prepared for the apocalypse looming on the horizon.

Kacey Klonsky, filmmaker of Love Unleashed, is today’s talented guest. Kacey is currently based in Portland, Oregon but is always excited and ready to travel at a moments notice for a great project. Although living on the opposite coast, Kacey joined her mother, photographer Jane Sobel Klonsky, on many of her trips and documented her photo shoots on video. After a couple of years of watching her mother’s passion project turn into a full time endeavor, she began not only to film the people and their dogs but also conduct short interviews. The result is an ongoing web series, called Unconditional Stories, each episode telling the story of a person and their aging dog. Kacey says: “The film series was an organic project in many ways. A collaboration between my mother and me grew from our desire to work together.” Website http://www.kaceyklonsky.com Website http://unconditionalstories.com Facebook https://www.facebook.com/projectunconditional/ Mentions in the episode Morgan Spurlock, Filmmaker http://morganspurlock.com Muttville https://www.facebook.com/Muttville.Senior.Dog.Rescue/ About Nancy and Harold Rhee We have been married over 20 years, fostered over 60 dogs in the past four years, and we love animal rescue and the amazing people who dedicate their lives.

Rose and Jimmy Hunter are the heroes behind House of Ig. They share their lives with eleven iguanas, along with some turtles. You will also see a dog and cat in the photos. Jimmy and Rose first rescued Tulsa from near-death when Jimmy moved to Illinois from Oklahoma. After Tulsa passed away, over the years, it has grown little by little. They talk about good iguana care (husbandry), including doctor’s visits, a rich and diverse diet, and the importance of lighting. They picked up knowledge along the way, and Jimmy and Rose were kind enough to share a variety of resources for the reptile lover!

On Friday, Nancy helped with a Wings of Rescue flight, the third one of 2017 Nancy worked on. She worked hard to coordinate the flight of sixteen dogs from Northern California to a variety of no-kill shelters in Spokane, Washington. Nancy shares some of her thoughts from that day.

It was the thirteenth annual event at Tony La Russa’s Animal Rescue Foundation. Some great speakers, including Dr. Regan McGowan; Erin Kerley and Audra Farrell; Renee Harris; and especially, Dr. Kate Hurley.

To qualify to win, write us a review on iTunes, Stitcher, or both. Deadline is end of day (midnight Pacific Time) on Sunday, March 5, 2017. Winner to be announced in an upcoming episode. iTunes: http://thisispawprint.com/itunes Stitcher: http://thisispawprint.com/stitcher About Our Guest  Tamar Arslanian lives in New York City, and started her blog several years ago, I Have Cat, with the tagline, “Single in the City, with Cat(s).” Shop Cats of New York is her first work, and she shares about her writer’s journey, living the single life in New York, and her life with cats. She also discusses the importance of finding homes for cats, even in a non-traditional space like a local business. Tamar shares her home with two cats, Kip and Haddie. Her middle cat, Petie, died last year. About Shop Cats of New York Humans of New York meets The French Cat in this carefully cultivated, gorgeous full-color collection featuring New York’s iconic felines and the stories behind them. They inhabit New York City’s most legendary and coziest spots—the Algonquin Hotel, a whiskey distillery, Bleecker Street Records, and a host of yoga studios,  bookstores, and bike shops in between. True New Yorkers—masters of people watching—they perch on wine crates, piles of books, and a classic hotel countertop, taking in the activity around them. Depending on their mood, these cats will ignore enthusiastic admirers, offer a few delightful purrs, or occasionally even take a swipe. Some even find a mouse or two to chase.

Marie Macaspac offers some terrific marketing and branding tips, along with observations on Muttville's founder Sherri Franklin and how her leadership empowered Marie and others. All part of a larger journey transforming Muttville into one of the premier rescue organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area, with a powerful image synonymous with senior dogs. Marie Macaspac is founder of both Switchblade Creative Studios and Animal Rescue Marketing. She is also Director of Marketing for Muttville Senior Dog Rescue, which started in founder Sherri Franklin's home. Our episode starts when Marie Rochelle Macaspac left behind a corporate marketing job to start her own path. While starting to build her own business, Marie loved that she was able spend most of her days with one of her closest friends - her dog Jazmin - by her side. A year later, Jazmin died. Marie eventually volunteered for Muttville. A major moment occurred in 2008 when the band Gogol Bordello offered to perform a benefit concert for Muttville. Marie's marketing instincts kicked in to help make the concert a success, and led to Marie helping with the growth of Muttville through a variety of marketing and branding strategies. We get the sense from the interview that Marie's personal growth and Muttville's growth are intertwined. Thanks to Marie for sharing her story. Donate!

Our Pit Bull series begins on Thursday, August 25. Join us!! Some of our upcoming guests Noelani Guerrero http://www.urbansuburbanapparel.com Zach Skow http://www.marleysmutts.org Belinda Morrison http://www.bemorefitness.com Dr. Sara Kelly http://cenlaanimals.com Sophie Gamand http://www.sophiegamand.com We hope you take the time to learn more about pit bulls and some of the people who work hard to rescue these wonderful dogs. Each dog is an individual, so one suggestion we make is to take the time to get to know your animal. You might find that pit bulls are terrific companions and are ready to change your life in a positive way. The overcrowded conditions in many animal shelters often highlights the problems pit bulls present for animal rescue. They are some of the most overbred dogs, and because of their controversial reputation of dog bites and association with dog fighting, are sometimes considered less desirable by prospective adopters. This can cause tremendous suffering, as some pit bulls stay in shelters for years, or are euthanized. You'll hear stories of those who work with pit bulls directly and listen to their experiences with animals of all sorts, including pit bulls. Thanks to Peter Zheutlin for the connection to Dr. Sara Kelly. http://peterzheutlin.com Thanks to Dave Lee for the recommendation on Zach Skow. https://modernlifepodcastnetwork.com If you want to join our animal rescue community and receive two free bonus dog-training resources from Irith Bloom, positive reinforcement dog trainer, go to http://thisispawprint.com/ask.

Project ADORE (ADOption and REhoming of dogs) allows some medium-sized dogs (15 kg in weight, 50 cm in height) to be adopted in HDB housing under specific conditions. http://www.spca.org.sg/news_details.asp?id=837 Black dog syndrome - some studies have shown that black dogs get adopted at less frequent rates than other color dogs, and this can also lead to higher euthanasia rates. https://www.petfinder.com/pet-adoption/dog-adoption/black-dog-syndrome/ Thank you Prue Harrison!

Nancy and Harold Rhee discuss the successful Clear the Shelters adoption day in Berkeley, California, along with our upcoming podcast series on Pit Bulls.

Clear the Shelters was an effort of NBC partnering with local animal shelters in the United States for a coordinated animal rescue day on Saturday, July 23, 2016. Clear the Shelters has grown in its two years of existence, and over 47,000 pets were adopted in 2016 due to this terrific partnership.

Diane Roth fostered Noodle, who was found extremely malnourished. We interviewed Diane, she was a fascinating guest! http://www.thisispawprint.com/22-diane-roth-piglet-the-chihuahua-single-source-dog-food/ The Good and Bad of Free Adoptions Clear the Shelters featured either reduced fee or free adoptions. While this positively increases interest in pet adoptions, the downside is free adoptions can attracted people looking for “bait” dogs and cats for dog fighting, along with folks trying to make some quick money. They do this by adopting an animal for free with the intention of selling the animal for a profit.

He has worked with artists like Ted Nugent, Joan Jett, Poison, and Faster Pussycat, among many others. He is the author of While I’m Dead...Feed the Dog, a very funny and mostly true novel of Ric growing up. The book was made into a movie, but Ric has not seen it and does not feel it is worth mentioning. Learn more about Ric!

Sue and Rod Weeding founded the Easy Horse Care Rescue Center after they left Norwich, England sixteen years ago to enjoy retirement at their finca in Alicante, Spain on the Costa Blanca. Six months into retirement - life interrupted! Sue and Rod initially rescued two horses, and in the following sixteen years, they have saved over a hundred animals - mainly horses, ponies, and donkeys, along with a sizable number of dogs, cats, birds, one pig, and a peacock. In addition to the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre, they run the Easy Horse Care Equestrian Store and several Charity Shops to support the Centre financially.

Learn about Periscope vs Facebook Live! With the podcast episode, our YouTube video, and the show notes, you’ll learn the basics about live streaming video to get started with your animal rescue! The Three Things You Will Learn Why live streaming video? What is Periscope and what is Facebook Live? Which should I use? YouTube video https://youtu.be/Ac__KHZSyeM Show Notes http://thisispawprint.com/52 Why live video? Live streaming video is a great way to keep your audience engaged with your animal rescue organization. Nowadays, social media is at a saturation point. I know I am overwhelmed with animal rescue-related Facebook posts, Instagram photos, and Twitter tweets. Live video is a way to differentiate yourself and get your friends, followers, and newcomers to stay. Sometimes live streaming goes viral, like in the example of Candace Payne, better known as “Chewbacca Mom.” What started out as a four-minute Facebook Live video of her shopping trip to Kohl’s soon became viewed and shared over 150 Million times! https://www.facebook.com/candaceSpayne/videos/10209653193067040/ Here’s a Time Magazine article showing some of the great things that happened to Candace after the popularity of video. http://time.com/money/4356563/chewbacca-mom-facebook-gifts-disney-college/ What is Periscope and what is Facebook Live? Periscope is a standalone application for live streaming video. It is owned by Twitter, although you don’t need to use Twitter to gain access to Periscope. They are separate apps. Facebook Live is a function of Facebook. It is not a separate application. So if you use Facebook on your Apple or Android phone, you have Facebook Live. Both are very easy to use. Turn on the app or function, add a title to your video, click to record, and you are live! On both Periscope and Facebook Live, viewers can show appreciation by sending hearts. It’s easy on Periscope since you just tap the screen and a heart appears. On Facebook Live, if you “like” a video a heart will appear, which is almost as easy as Periscope, but it feels more enjoyable on Periscope. Both Periscope and Facebook allow viewers to comment. Only Facebook allows you to type a comment back, although I found that to be difficult if I was talking on the video. Which should I use: Periscope or Facebook Live? Both! If your goal is to broadcast your animal rescue message to as many people as possible, and since both Periscope and Facebook Live don’t require additional equipment or practice, I think it would make sense to keep using both. If time is limited, I would decide on one and stick with that. Here’s a quick thought on why you might want to use Periscope or Facebook Live. Periscope + and - A great way to welcome a new audience since Periscope videos can potentially be seen by anyone. Screen tapping to send hearts and commenting is a more enjoyable experience on Periscope. You can Periscope several times a day and that’s fine. If you did the same with Facebook Live, your friends or followers might get a little tired from the large number of your videos. Periscope’s audience is much smaller than Facebook’s, tens of millions vs Facebook’s billions, but more active. Facebook Live + and - Facebook Live doesn’t require a separate app, it’s built into Facebook. Very helpful. A great way to engage your friends and followers in a way that’s different from most posts. If your video ever goes viral, the Facebook universe offers a massive audience of billions. Facebook Live videos show up near the top of your profile page under the Videos section. For both Periscope and Facebook Live, videos are permanent. Periscope’s videos used to disappear after 24 hours, but that is no longer the case.

Jeremy Ryan Slate is host of his own podcast called Create Your Own Life. He interviews amazing entrepreneurs, business people, and podcasters to help you with your own entrepreneurial journey. He shares about his dogs Venus and Coco Chanel, the struggles he and his wife had to go through to adopt Venus, and shares a great story about getting married in a pet-friendly ceremony. The lesson with Venus is to be persistent enough to prove to a rescue organization that you are worthwhile adopters to these animals. Rescue organizations reserve the right to reject a potential adopter, but that does not have to be the final word.

Reflection #1: Animal Rescue People are talented! Here are the guests I mention. Dr Sarah Boston http://thisispawprint.com/3 Pen Farthing http://thisispawprint.com/7 Greg Mahle http://thisispawprint.com/9 Aya Eintracht http://thisispawprint.com/10 2. If we inspire you to start your own podcast, go for it! If you are interested in starting your own podcast, let's talk. We answer questions on podcasting on a regular basis. You can podcast on anything! If you feel like there is something inside you that needs to be shared with the world, a podcast could be the right platform for you 3. Anything worthwhile requires commitment and dedication This goes without saying, not much of a revelation here. Whether it is animal rescue or anything else, you need to commit, dedicate, and sacrifice to make something great happen. Hopefully you have found something you believe in, or you feel is worth you time, or you might have some proficiency in. It doesn't simply happen, be prepared to work hard for it. No one said it would be easy. But as Aya Eintracht would say, “It is worth it.” We're shooting for at least 45 more episodes the rest of the year, we hope you join us on the journey!!

We fostered Tebow in December 2015 and he got adopted in early May of 2016. Harold mentioned 4 1/2 months which was incorrect. When we think of growly dogs, whether accurate or not, it reminds us of the hilarious dog scene in There's Something About Mary with Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz. Tebow was much, much gentler than the dog in the movie. There's Something About Mary https://youtu.be/jX09Cesfxo8 In the weeks since Tebow got adopted we have already fostered Jade (black dog), her one puppy Ruby (tan), and Tina (brown and bushy). Jade and Ruby got adopted permanently together! Tim Tebow is a former NFL quarterback, Heisman trophy winner, and two-time college national champion. He also has a fascinating personal story, including his strong views on religion. http://timtebow.com/ The two animal rescue organizations involved were: Tony La Russa’s Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) https://www.arflife.org/ Contra Costa Humane Society https://www.cchumane.org/ Thanks to http://soundbible.com for the morse code and applause sound effects!

Irith Bloom, owner of The Sophisticated Dog, is a trainer of dogs and other animals. She uses positive reinforcement, and today we learn about a common situation for dog owners - dogs with reactive or aggressive behavior while they are on-leash. Two items you may want to consider for this training: Front-clip harness such as the Freedom harness. This can help for situations when your dog reacts very strongly while on leash. Soft treats divided up into very tiny pieces, like beef jerky. Hard, crunchy treats are not recommended. FREE RESOURCES: If you would like two training resources, written by Irith Bloom, that complement this episode, go to http://thisispawprint.com/ask and subscribe to our mailing list.

Diane also opens up about the challenges she faced during a difficult stretch in her life and how much her chihuahua Piglet helped her through the toughest times.   Fostering tips 1. Consistency - follow a predictable routine every day 2. Patience - it takes time for dogs to feel like they are part of your pack and bond to you 3. Start slowly - avoid burnout 4. Don't be afraid to ask for help   Diane's four dogs we discuss in the episode: Piglet the Chihuahua, Phoenix the Rottweiler, along with Butter and Lucy, both rescues. Roscoe was mentioned briefly, he's a foster dog.   Diane's business Carefree Pool & Spa in El Sobrante, California Phone: (510) 669-9020   Single Source Dog Food Diane learned about this in response to recent dog food contamination stories in the US and other countries.

Mimi Dietderich is Foster Care Coordinator for the East Bay SPCA in Oakland and Dublin, California. Mimi shares her story and covers a wide range of topics, including fostering, some interesting animal facts, and compassion fatigue. She also shares two touching stories about Miso and Frankie.    Resources https://www.eastbayspca.org/ https://www.facebook.com/EBSPCA/?fref=ts https://www.instagram.com/eastbayspca/   http://www.oaklandzoo.org/ http://lindsaywildlife.org/ - an organization oriented around wildlife health and education   SPCA SPCA stands for Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. SPCA's in general are independent organizations. The first one was founded in the early 1800's in England.   What requirements do you need to foster? 1. Patience! A new place can be stressful for an animal. Each animal is unique with its own behavior and character. 2. A place to live 3. Time. Be available for the pets. Dogs in general need more time than cats due to the need to go outside.   Why is fostering so important? Fostering an animal, even for a couple weeks, opens up a space in a shelter to hold another dog, cat, or other pet. The animal(s) you foster will hopefully get adopted by a permanent or forever family. There are so many reasons animals benefit from fostering which include: 1. letting puppies and kittens grow old enough for spay / neuter 2. giving an injured or sick animal time to heal 3. socialization   Some other foster-related advice 1. The first foster is always the hardest, since saying goodbye and returning the animal can be very difficult emotionally. 2. After the first foster, it is a little easier to say goodbye and prepare for the next one. 3. Plenty of people do end up adopting a foster. It even has an endearing term, "foster fail," or "foster failure."   Education Educate your children on animals, including behavior and care, through your local shelter. Some offer day camp programs!   Compassion Fatigue Compassion fatigue is a term for burnout. Compassion fatigue can impact anyone involved with "caring" work such as animal rescue.   Ways to cope with compassion fatigue 1. Take time for yourself. 2. Follow your outside interests that do not involve as many caring activities.  3. Live healthy. Avoid junk food, alcohol, and drugs. Shopping and gambling are other activities to monitor so they don't get out of control. 4. Even with that, it can still be overwhelming, recognize that you can't fix every situation and meet every need.   Kittens and Puppies When the number of kittens spikes, it's called Kitten Season. Depending on where you live, it often starts in the Spring, and usually starts to slow down around the end of Summer. If you find a litter of kittens in your neighborhood, don't assume they were abandoned by their mother. She may have simply gone away to find food. KMR and Esbilac are brands of kitten and puppy meal replacements. For very young cats and dogs.   Thanks again to Mimi Dietderich!   All of Pawprint's music is composed by Luke Gartner-Brereton.

Sad marketing often leads to pity, and not adoptions. Here are some tips to keep your rescue dogs looking happy and help them get adopted. Never show a pet in a metal enclosure and try to avoid chain link fences if possible too. These elements give the psychological impression of a prison which is associated with bad behavior. We don't want to strengthen the bad dog stereotype. Always take the dog to a happy place, in the grass, on a piece of comfy furniture, even up against a plain old wall will be a huge improvement over any kind of crate or cage. A last resort I use is the over-the-shoulder pose, if there is no decent photo location at your facility, have someone hold the dog over their shoulder with their back to you, you can easily use a bright blue sky or a plain wall, indoors or outdoors, as a simple background. Get their happy face on! You want your pups panting with their ears perked. Why? Because a dog with his tongue out most resembles a smile to our simple human brains, and the perky ears give the viewer the impression that he is interested, curious, or playful. Who doesn't love a good head tilt? You won't always be able to get all three of these ideal gestures (tongue out, perky ears, head tilt) in every shot, but you sure can try. Play with the dog before you take his photo, if he's running around chasing a ball he's sure to be smiling afterwards. Have an arsenal of silly sounds at your disposal. I always carry a squeaker, a clicker, and I've got my Donald duck voice down pat. I also have a giant bag of treats and I've been known to take the bag out and shake it over my camera. Dogs with floppy ears really look 100% happier with their ears up, so personally that's what I go for in every shot. Dogs with cropped ears look nicer with a smile. I totally advocate dressing up dogs too. Cheap scarves, flowers, bow ties, etc., can be found at your local craft store. Not only do dogs in costume stand out, but in my mind they also give the dog some credit for having a decent temperament. I wouldn't let someone take photos of me in antlers! Use text overlays for names, quotes, and captions to grab attention. Put the dog's name on the photo, give him a thought bubble and write something cute about what he's thinking inside. If you use Photoshop you can find inexpensive overlays that are pre-made, but there are tons of free apps out there that will allow you to add your own text or stickers to a photo. If you're not tech savvy then you can make physical signs and posters for dogs to wear or stand next to. Get creative, do silly things, and stand out! Lighting is a topic I could write a book about, but I'm going to keep things simple for the beginners out there. Never use on camera flash, just turn it off. Unless you have experience with off camera lighting or you can control the direction of your flash, I recommend you use natural light whenever possible. Inside, you should turn off all the lights and use natural light through windows. Outside, on a sunny day, make sure you situate your rescue pups either fully in the sun or fully in the shade, not, for example, under a tree where there's splotchy light. Overcast days, however, are the easiest lighting conditions to get great photos outdoors. Just make sure the sun is at your back, even on overcast days. Be aware that these tips are coming from me directly and not from HeARTs Speak. As a member, I highly recommend anyone interested in shelter photography go get the HeARTs Speak Field Guide to learn more about the technical aspects of shelter photography, studio lighting, post processing, working with cats and dogs, and how to best promote pets on social media. There is no other guide out there like it.  http://heartsspeak.org/store/products/shelter-photography-field-guide/ HeARTs Speak application window for Perfect Exposure Project grants Also, right now through March 31st, HeARTs Speak is accepting applications from shelters interested in participating in the 2016 Perfect Exposure Project.

We talk to author Peter Zheutlin about his discovery of the complex world of animal rescue through the adoption of his dog Albie. He describes the process of meeting, following, and ultimately writing a book about Greg Mahle and other animal rescue heroes, as well as the ups and downs of a writer's life.   Book Peter Zheutlin's New York Times and Amazon best-seller, Rescue Road: One Man, Thirty Thousand Dogs, and a Million Miles on the Last Hope Highway, records the journey of Greg Mahle, who drives a truck 26 times a year to save thousands of dogs. You also get to know many other heroes - the folks on the front lines of rescue - who visit shelters, search for strays, and sacrifice much of their lives to benefit dogs. People like Keri Bullock Toth, Kelle Davis, and Alicia McCarty, among many others. We featured Greg Mahle in Episode 9. Pawprint's Interview with Greg Mahle   Donate to Rescue Road Trips (Donate here!) Peter Zheutlin's wife, Judy Gelman, set up a YouCaring site for Greg Mahle to get a new truck, and Peter discusses it during the interview. The YouCaring site for Greg has been closed for an excellent reason - it reached its goal!! We shall see Rescue Road Trips deliver dogs to loving homes in a newer and safer vehicle in the very near future.

Aya Eintracht writes for her own blog, called PettingTruck. Her posts focus on her family of cats and dogs. She tends to prefer white long-haired cats and black Newfoundland dogs, which you can witness in the many photos she shares. Aya Eintracht grew up in Chernovitz, part of the former Soviet Union Russia, now better known as Ukraine. Aya and her family currently live in the United States.   Today, she gives a reading and additional background information on two animal rescue stories. First, Mino the Cat, whom she rescued in Chernovitz, Ukraine from the apartment of a musician who had committed suicide. Second, Oreo the Dog, whom she rescued in the United States. Oreo had a behavior problem that could have been disastrous for Aya and her human family. PettingTruck's website   Newfoundland dogs, named after the Canadian province, are some of the largest dogs one can find, often 120 pounds (54 kilograms) or more in weight. They are a working breed and are often found on fishing boats for their swimming and rescue capabilities. They are also known as gentle protectors. Sometimes referred to affectionately as a Newf or a Newfy.   Newfoundland kennel club websites American Kennel Club Click here Canadian Kennel Club Click here The Kennel Club (UK) Click here Thanks again, Aya!   All of Pawprint's music is composed by Luke Gartner-Brereton.

Greg Mahle of Rescue Road Trips shares his story of dedication to his family, including his wife Adella, and to thousands of dogs over the years.   Approximately twenty-six times a year, or every other week, Greg and one hired driver take a seven-day journey from Ohio to Southern states like Texas and Louisiana to fill up a tractor trailer with up to seventy dogs. They then head to Northeastern states like Pennsylvania and Connecticut to deliver each dog to their respective permanent or "forever" homes. That's a 4,200 mile round-trip, every two weeks!   Learn more about Greg's story, such as WHY he has made this journey every two weeks for years, the ups and downs of life on the road with a huge pack of dogs in a truck, and the many dedicated people who help make these road trips successful.   Donate (Donate here!)

Elena Bicker, Executive Director of Tony La Russa’s Animal Rescue Foundation, ARF, discusses twenty-five years of creating a world-class animal rescue facility and community. They have been rescuing thousands of cats and dogs for years, and along the way have developed a wide range of programs related to rescue, foster, advocacy, education, and community awareness. It all started on May 7, 1990 when a stray cat wandered onto the field during an Oakland A’s baseball game. Tony La Russa – a Hall of Fame player, manager, and baseball executive – was the manager for the A’s, and he and his wife Elaine were surprised to find that there weren’t any no-kill animal shelters in the neighboring areas. That initial event was the genesis for ARF. Elena Bicker joined staff in the late 90’s and made an immediate impact, raising over $1 million, and she never looked back. Elena’s been Executive Director for ten years, helping ARF achieve a 4-star rating as a charity from Charity Navigator, and truly creating a blueprint for other animal shelters to strive for. To loosely quote Elena Bicker from the interview, they set out to build a shelter, and ended up building a community.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to place a stray animal in a permanent home? On Pawprint, you’ll meet the everyday heroes of animal rescue who use hard work, dedication, and out-of-the-box ideas to give homeless pets a second chance. thisispawprint.com What is a rescue organization? It can be one person with a passion for saving animals, or it can be a comprehensive organization with paid staff, a shelter, an animal hospital, and a network of volunteers. The mission is to save dogs, cats, and other animals from homelessness, and place them with a permanent, or “forever,” home. Rescue organizations also advocate for animals. For example, changes in laws to protect animals, reduce irresponsible breeding (like puppy mills), and spread the word on the importance of spaying and neutering animals. Two rescue organizations we mention in this episode: East Bay SPCA with locations in Oakland and Dublin, California. Tony La Russa’s Animal Rescue Foundation, also known as ARF, in Walnut Creek, California. What is a foster? A person, a group, or family, who temporarily take in one or more animals in preparation of finding a permanent, or forever, home. The animals often need to get spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and treated for a wide range of health issues, and socialized to get along with people and other animals. Some animals only need fostering for a few days, while others may take months to find that special forever home. Nancy and Harold have fostered over 50 dogs, which is one of the reasons we started Pawprint, to get you inspired and moving! We share inspirational stories from leaders, volunteers, and experts in animal rescue, health, and behavior. If you want to learn more about us, here’s some random stuff about your adorable Pawprint co-hosts: Harold grew up in Buffalo, New York. He is a long-suffering Buffalo Bills football fan. Even though he lives in San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders country, he refuses to change his allegiance! Our son Dylan, by the way, is a 49ers fan. Nancy grew up in Seoul, South Korea, and speaks three languages – English, Korean, and Japanese. She grew up with dogs in Korea and while living in New York City had a cat named Smitty.
