Paws for a Cause

Saturday, April 18, 2015

As a dog lover, I always enjoy the opportunity to photograph a pet friendly event, especially one that helps raise awareness against animal cruelty. Glenlake Park in Decatur hosted Paws for a Cause to do just that. Veterinarians were on hand to help with vaccinations and adoption services had dogs that were looking for good homes. It was definitely a highlight of the day!
