Doing What You Love ❤️Is Being Of Service

[ELAINE]

In 2012 professional photographer Lori Fusaro inquired with the

Los Angeles California Animal Shelter about volunteering her time

On weekends to photograph the dogs up for adoption for the shelter

Websites. She loved animals , so why not be of service doing what she

Loved to do ? Her intentions was to take Happy fun pictures to help them

Get adopted , The shelter quickly accepted Lori’s offer .

She was having the time of her lifev, Her photoes were bringing people in .

The shelter management team was thrilled at how well the photos captured

Each dogs personality. It was during this time that Lori met a large 16 year old

Female dog that had been surrendered for adoption . The poor creature looked

So depressed , Lori called her Sunny to brighten her up , A week after meeting

Her , Lori decided to Bring Sunny Home l

A Knew Life

Lori knew the senior dog chance of adoption was nil and wanted to give Sunny

Some loving attention and comfort for the short remainder of her life . The vet

Recommend the same . He felt Sonny had a few weeks best , Lori began to

Notice that that dogs as young as 3 yrs . We’re considered old and undesirable

For adoption . While generally calm , easy , and already house trained , these

Animals often have the lowest chance of being adopted .

Shortly after being welcomed into Loris home , Sunny found renewed life , This

Inspired Lori to write a bog post about her experience with Sunny and the wonderful

Old dogs at the shelter . Her blog caught attention of Laura T. Coffy , a writer for

NBC Today website .
