Unleashed

Last night I volunteered to photograph "Unleashed", the Nashville Humane Association's (NHA) first dog fashion show. Going in, I had no idea what to expect, but walking out, I could not have enjoyed my Saturday night any more. It was fascinating to meet so many canine enthusiasts and learn about their pet passion. Everyone was very eager to introduce themselves, their dogs, and share their stories. After volunteering with NHA, I can really appreciate the work they are doing for pets here in Nashville. Many of the dogs you will see below have either been adopted or are waiting for someone (like you???) 
to step up to the plate and give them a wonderful home. For the record, the first dog you 
will see on my photo list is Mazzy, a jack russel terrier mix with a hear of gold, and as
of 9pm last night, she had yet be placed with a loving owner. I understand that getting a dog is a
big commitment, but if you think you're ready, NHA is a great place to find your new best friend!

  2. Kudos to you, Jake, for doing such a fine job during this fun night. Dogs are difficult to get to pose...at least most of them are. Love the pictures...they are "dog gone good"!

    "Unleashed/Dinner With Your Dog" was amazing. It was more than expected. Just wish I could have brought my lovely Layla all the way up from Georgia to show her off! To me, she is truly special. I rescued her from walking the streets...although she can be bad at times...has gotten me on my knees more than I've desired.

    Want to especially commend Bo Bice for his delightful job as a dog walker. We "peeps" love "our boy" Bo! He's "The Real Thing"!
