ADORABLE SHELTER DOGS STRIKE A ‘PAWS’ TO FIND FOREVER HOMES

A group of shelter dogs showcase their loveable personalities in a series of passport-style photographs - in the hope of finding their forever homes. The images of pooches at the Humane Society of Utah, an American animal shelter in the city of Murray, were taken by photographer Guinnevere Shuster. The 33-year-old, of Salt Lake City, Utah, hopes her positive photographs, which are used by the shelter to promote animal adoption, will help the dogs find new homes.
