When I first met Jamie, she was fostering Bear, who at the time was with the Ozzie Albies Foundation looking for his forever home. I could tell that she already loved the dog and I offered her to take a picture of her just for the fun of it. Sure enough, she made the decision shortly after to adopt Bear. Fast forward to the fall of 2025 when a beautiful, but quite shy pup found himself at the Cobb County Animal Shelter. Through this village that is needed in the dog rescue world, he was pulled from the shelter and put into a short-term foster home to quarantine and decompress. Jamie, again, stepped up to foster once his quarantine was over and she, again, fell in love. Guess what.. I took a picture of the two of them and shortly after she made the decision to adopt him. This session was such a treat to finally get all four of them in front of the camera in a beautiful setting, finding out that Dewey has fully settled in, has been entertaining them with his shenanigans and has even grown fond of their cat. My wish for 2026 is that every shelter dog will find a home and family like Dewey has.
