At Shelter Art Foundation we believe that shelter animals are celebrities waiting for their starring role in someone’s home. We equip, train, and empower shelter staff / volunteers so they may be able to confidently capture the essence of their ‘shelter stars’ in order to win the hearts of potential adopters.
In today’s digital era, many adopters are searching online to find their next potential companion. An image is a crucial first-impression of a shelter animal: often the difference between being adopted or being forgotten.
Each shelter that we partner with receives a custom built photo studio, an on-site photo workshop, and on-going technical support from our team of experienced photo mentors.
It is through community and collaboration, that our vision is made possible. Without the passion and dedication of our supporters, partner staff and volunteers, our organization would not be where it is today. Create lifesaving impact by donating today.
