ADLA helps fine arts photographer Traer Scott get
portraits for her upcoming book Street Dogs:
Fine arts photographer Traer Scott's book Street Dogs
is due to hit bookstore shelves early this Fall. ADLA
was fortunate to be able to assist Traer in getting
portraits and field shots for her remarkably beautiful
second book. Many of ADLA's rescued/rehabilitated
dogs will be featured in Street Dogs along with a bio
about them and the pet-partnership shelter that put
them up for adoption. Proceeds from Traer's book will
benefit both Puerto Rico and Mexico where the book was
photographed. World Society for the Protection of
Animals (WSPA) has agreed to receive a percentage of
donated proceeds from the book. WSPA is currently
working with both Puerto Rico and Mexico rescue
groups. Be sure and look to see if one of your
adopted satos made the cut!
Our dogs love to sleep on Kuranda Dog beds, but we don't have enough for everyone. If you would like to donate a bed at a special wholesale price for a another dog to sleep in comfort, please click here.
Amigos de los Animales often works with tourists interested in taking stray animals home. We go the extra mile to help tourists who want to help our satos.
