HeARTSspeak


I am really proud of my Dad. He is a photographer, at least part-time in the evenings and weekends. He specializes in photographing architecture, gardens, dog and cats. He plans to be a full-time photographer-artist when he grows up(oooops! when he retires!).

Anyway, he's been donating his time to photographing dogs for a local rescue group, PetConnect Rescue, and giving them the images to place on their website and is working on others projects for them. He doesn't get paid, it's all volunteer and it takes just a few hours of his weekend. I love him for it because he's helping dogs that are in the position I was just two years ago.

Now, he's joined and been accepted as an "Aspiring Member" of HeARTSspeak. Their mission is "Working to unite the individual efforts of animal artists and animal rescues into collective action for social change." He plans to photograph for them when PetConnect isn't keeping him busy. I am proud of him because he donates his time to helping animals get their Forever Home. I don't mind giving up a bit of my time with Dad for him to help other dogs!
