I photograph dogs up for adoption because I want to capture the poetry in their eyes, the quiet resilience, the unspoken stories, the glimmer of hope that still burns even after hardship. I try to reveal the soul beneath the fur, the beauty in their imperfections, the light that waits to be noticed. Each photo is a way to help the world see what I see: that every dog, no matter their past, deserves to be truly seen, and to find the person who looks back and says, “You’re home.”
