What I Can Do...

I cannot do everything, but I can do something.
And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do. ~ Edward Everett Hale
Last Spring, I found two abandoned puppies in my backyard. I took them to the vet, rehabbed them, began basic canine citizenship training, and fell in love with them.
Then, I realized that I wasn’t capable of providing either one of them, let alone both of them, a forever home.
Fortunately for me and for the puppies, there are organizations and people who can do what I could not. The Lowndes County Humane Society is one (they helped find forever homes for my “babies”). BARC Humane Society Inc is another.
I’m a firm believer in giving back. I may not be able to foster or provide forever homes to stray critters, but I can use my artistry as a photographer to help these organizations to do their work.
· I’m in the process of working with the Lowndes County Humane Society to figure out what I can do to help raise funds for them.
· I’ve donated a $300 Gift Certificate to the 2nd Annual B.A.R.C. Ball’s Silent Auction to be held this Saturday, October 3rd.
If you’ve been thinking about having portraits made of your loved ones (both two-legged and four-legged), this is your call to action! You can get a head start on something that you’ve wanted to do and help out a wonderful organization at the same time. What’s not to love about that?!
