The Shelter Art Foundation comes to ACACAC!

SHELTER ART FOUNDATION COMES TO ACAC

Shelter Partners is a recently formed collaboration of Staff and Volunteers from Amador County Animal Control and Adoption Center, joining PawsPartners.org to promote positive outcomes for both domestic animals and wildlife in our area. In the spirit of that partnership, volunteer Hazel Joyce introduced Animal Control Director John Vail to the Shelter Art Foundation (www.shelterartfoundation.org), a non-profit foundation that trains staff and volunteers at animal shelters and provides some of the equipment needed to take professional quality photographs of shelter animals, with the goal of increasing adoptions and reducing the time animals stay in the shelter. Hazel and John made arrangements for this training to be given in Amador County.

On April first and second, training sessions were conducted. Amador County shelter staff and volunteers, plus representatives from El Dorado and Calaveras Counties and their volunteers attended. The photos our shelter has been posting are far superior to the often dreary ‘mugshots’ so many shelters have to settle for, but these are even better! Improved animal-handling techniques, a seamless background, and professional flash photography help create portraits that reveal the personality of the animal, so that they can be their own best advocates. See for yourself some of the portraits we took after just one day of training. Thanks, Hazel, John, and The Shelter Art Foundation.

Here are some examples!
