Every year I set aside part of my budget for Rescue Organisations.  I donate 2-3 Pet Photography Session vouchers for them to use in auctions to raise money for the items that they need to keep the rescue going or to pay for treatment that some of the animals might need.

Sonya outbid the other supporters for the Chained Dog Awareness voucher and I had the pleasure of spending some time with her and her black labrador Max at their home in Auckland.
Isn’t Max’s greying muzzle absolutely stunning?

Sonia really wanted some photographs that showed his gorgeous colours and his cheeky personality.  I love the images that we’ve made and I’m especially pleased that we were able to raise some money whilst we did it.
