MELISSA volunteerS with Safe Hands Animal Rescue, making portraits of newly rescued dogs for THEIR adoption website, fundraising and social media campaigns. HER favorite work involves documenting the intake EVENTs and volunteerS. in 2019, she documented several partner shelters in se kentucky.
SHILOH
In 2018, I completed a personal project to document the transformation of Shiloh, who arrived extremely malnourished and with non-contagious demodex mange. I made over one thousand photographs of her in just a few months, and these fifteen most represent her healing, inside and out.
HARLOW
In 2019, I completed a new project to document Harlow and her physical transformation during rescue. Like Shiloh, she arrived with a skin condition which she successfully healed from and is now living her life with her forever family. For so many of these kids with completely treatable skin conditions, rescue is the only thing that keeps them off the euthanasia list.
CHARLIE
Charlie’s story is in progress. Please check back over the upcoming months to see how Charlie’s bravery grows.
