Not only is it FREE, it is also designed to raise funds for your rescue group.

Here’s the scoop:

• Rescue groups are allowed one free in-studio photo session of one dog per month. (The dog must be predominantly of one breed. I love mutts, too! But the products are breed specific. There will be mutt photo projects coming up in the near future.)
• The rescue group will receive at least 3 digital photo files of the dog that can be used to promote the adoption of the dog or the rescue group (cannot be used for any resale purpose).
• A posting of the photos and information about the dog and where/how the dog can be adopted will be posted on A Dog’s Life Photography’s blog, Facebook and Twitter accounts.
• If the dog is a good model, he/she could go on to be a star! The photos may be used to create photo products such as clothing, coffee mugs, calendars, etc. to be sold on A Dog’s Life Photography’s online gift shop!  
•  The rescue group that supplied the “doggie model” will receive 25% of the net profits from the sale of any items sold from the gift shop with their mug shot on them. A Dog’s Life will do their fair share of promoting the sale of these items but YOU are the one that knows the market for your dog breed the best. The more marketing that you do of the products to people and organizations that love your breed, the more funds you will raise for your group.

The gift shop is under construction right now and looks very ugly! But when it is complete (hopefully by February 5th), it will look something like this:

When you select a dog breed, a list of designs that are available for the breed will appear. Once you select the design, a list of products that are available with that design on them will appear:

Right now, most of the breeds just have one “I’ve Got It Ruff™” design but there are many more to come in the future. (Proceeds from the I’ve Got it Ruff™ line of products will solely benefit the PACC 911 Emergency Medical Fund. All other designs will directly benefit the respective dog breed rescue)

I am totally open to design ideas that you have that you think will sell well for your breed.  Take a look at the Basset Hound section for a good example of fun things that we can do with the photos.

It’s easy to get started. Just visit the calendar page on this blog to see the available photo session times. Then send a message to susan@adogslifephoto.com to reserve your times.
