Simon and his owner are amazing! They have touched the hearts and furry bodies of many well deserved Boxers and families!
Simon is SO awesome! He went through so much yet he is so happy and sweet, just like his Mom Jane 
Simon has come a long way he look great. Nice pictures
Simon is a handsome boy! His mom is a wonderful person as well. She has always had an open and warm heart for animals. (this goes for how she is towards people too!)
What a miracle to watch how a loving touch & care can bring back to life a creature which came so close to being lost. What a gift!
Ah, my beautiful grand-dog! These are great photos of him!!
Simon is the greatest!

all the way from Tucson? if I had a dog, I would drive all the way from D.C. for you to photograph her!!! seriously. I’m not even a dog person and you’ve singlehandedly made me fall in love time and again with dogs, their stories, they gaze, their warmth. that sweater is priceless. man, Rico is one cool dog, and Terry is one cool and happy Dad. bless them both.
fantastic photos!
Rico is a perfect example of a great pup that has found his way in life. His previous mom loved him and loved him enough to know when it was time to let him go to another home that could provide what she could not due to financial constraints. These pictures are of a dog that has battled back to find a home of great love. Thank you Susan for capturing him at his best. Thank you Terry for opening your home to him.

You captured Shaq beautifully, thank you again for all you are doing for rescue dogs and the specific time you have put into capturing some of our giants!
Chance was one of four puppies rescued in January, 2008, as part of a puppy mill rescue effort. He and his siblings were bred in a Missouri puppy mill and put up for sale at an animal auction. When they did not sell, they were rescued by an organization that picks up animals that are…

What a beautiful dog Chance had the opportunity to become, all because of a Rescue. Arizona Animal Assistance has provided this kind of help and care for hundreds of dogs who need TLC. Beautiful dog and great work by AZAnimalAssistance!!!!!
We love our Chance so much. He was a stress case but did wonderfully. What an amazing addition to our family he has made. Thank you all for letting Chance shine
Chancey! What a handsome pup, he has blossomed from a shy skin and bones bloated sickly puppy into a beautiful big man. What a survivor he is!
