Project Canis

a golden retriever puppy stands inside a bathtub with his front paws propped up on the side. he's wearing a brown bear ear headband with two small sunflowers on the right ear. there's a smidge of concern in his face, but mostly he seems ready to get this over with.

This is Dunkin. He will not take a bath without his bear ear headband. Partly because it keeps his face dry, and partly because it helps him feel brave. 12/10

there are some magic beans under those floofs

we loved getting to see some of the community cats at our local shelter 😽

oh my EARS! 😍

a brown dachshund is a loaf on a cream-colored sofa. none of his legs or paws are visible. he appears to be biting the corner of his lip, perhaps nervous that he's misplaced all four legs at once.

This is Arthur. He seems to have misplaced his legs and needs your help to find them. They are about one inch long and Arthur-colored. 13/10

Fishtopher, a brown and black striped tabby cat. He lays in the shelter next to a chrome bowl. His large head is hung low to the floor of the kennel, as he looks up with sad green eyes and very large, round cheeks. His ears are slightly down and his mouth looks small and almost like a frown. He protects his body with his round tail in a very sad, closed off manner.

Fishtopher, a brown and black striped tabby cat, now in his forever home. He stands up and leans against the couch but the lower half of his body is blocked by the camera person's leg. He looks slightly upward with large, sparkling green eyes. His ears are pointed up and forward and his mouth is almost in a wide smile. His pink nose is a much brighter pink now, and his large cheeks are still large, but smaller in comparison.

to be loved is to be changed
