Shelter Dog Expo Success!

Thank you to all the attendees, vendors, and volunteers who made Shelter Me Photography's first Shelter Dog Expo & Fundraiser a success this weekend. With 200+ attendees visiting and their four legged friends competing in a variety of competitions on Sunday, over $8,000 was raised to help increase awareness on the way people see shelter animals and expedite their adoptions into forever homes.

DCG attorney Kyle Kreischer, a Shelter Me Photography board member and shelter dog owner (five times over!), along with DCG attorney Jamie Rutten (another shelter dog owner), and DCG financial officer Brandy Bertram all worked countless hours for the event and were happy to see the event's success. Bertram added, "It was an amazing day for an amazing cause. Our efforts resulted in a big time impact for this small local nonprofit." For more information on Shelter Me Photography and other ways they are helping animals everywhere, visit their website at www.ShelterMePhotograpy.org.
