Last weekend a local photographer, Allison Duffy, taught us just how glamorous dogs can be when she volunteered some of her time to help our dogs find new homes.
I call them glamour shots. That's Ellie up there. She's a 6-year-old Australian Cattle Dog looking her very prettiest.
And here's Mona Lisa, a slightly senior Hound dog. Good pose, Mona.
Next is Roman, who is unique. We're not quite sure what breeds are in him, but he is handsome and oh so photogenic. This youngster (about a year old) isn't much more than 35 lbs and has tight, wavy hair that doesn't seem to shed much.
Freese, below, is just as handsome as he is smart. He'll excel in obedience classes because he so wants to please.
Tigger, below, is one of the pups rescued last week from the old Gasconade facility. He loves to play and is only 5 to 6 months old.
Pierre, below, is just plain cute and fluffy. Who could resist his glamorous little self?
Then there's this gorgeous lab mix, Hazel Stone.
And finally, my personal favorite. I'm not sure it's a glamour shot, but our monkey-faced Affenpinsher lady BeeBee shows personality and humor in this pic.
And her buddy Axel takes a great picture too.
All these beautiful dogs are available for adoption.
