Turn-Over Rate

Since I have been at the animal center I  have been very impressed with the turn-over rate. Every time I visit the Wake County Animal Center it appears to be all new animals. It is not very often that I see a dog that I photographed or walked passed that is still there the next day I go back. This week when I returned on Tuesday, Sunshine Sparkles was the only dog I photographed who was still there since last Thursday. However, when I returned to photograph her on Thursday she had been adopted! That only furthered my excitement about how quickly most of these dogs are being adopted.

Sunshine Sparkles (88661)
When I returned this week to take pictures I was extremely surprised to see sunshine sparkles of all the dogs still at the center. She was a very sweet little girl who was approximately 9 months old. She was still on the small side of a medium size dog but appeared to be very healthy. Her coat was extremely soft and I loved the white accents above her eyes, they really helped convey communication with me. The only reason I could think of for her not being adopted right away is that she would get excited and jump a little. However compared to a lot of other dogs I have photographed she was not nearly as bad about jumping.

  1. I'm so glad she got adopted! I love that you were able to catch her in such a relaxed state. I feel like that's so hard to do with the dogs. Were you able to capture a picture of her face at all?

  2. The only pictures I could catch with her face looking at the camera had her nose in the lens :-) She was a very sweet but also hyper.
