We saw this post and thought we would repost it as we largely agree with it: http://jezebel.com/5841613/pet-photographer-says-better-photos-save-shelter-dogs-lives. The basic premise is that a nice photographer has been volunteering her services to post pics of local shelter dogs in an effort to get them adopted as opposed to seeing pics that make dogs look like they are rabid and in horrible health. We might add some additional thoughts; we think it is important to show both the pictures of their current condition as well as nice pictures of them. We feel this is necessary because part of the adoption process is to help people see all the good they are doing. We agree with the post’s premise on pictures, and we would even further it by saying videos should be taken as well. Rescuers could save a lot of time and energy by doing a great description as well as a video and pictures up front instead of answering questions for months on end due to an incomplete description.
