ADLA helps fine arts photographer Traer Scott get portraits for her upcoming book Street Dogs:

Street Dogs_Traer Scott

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!
