I attended their volunteer conference in Carmel-by-the-Sea last month.

Over thirty people and almost as many dogs attended from across the country.

I got to meet Beckham, a 10-year-old tri-color Cavalier currently living with a foster family in San Diego and available for adoption. He was dressed as Superman for Halloween.

I'm proud to be a member of HeARTs Speak, an organization that unites artists to increase the visibility of shelter animals. HeARTs Speak generously donated their shelter photography field guide to the attendees of the conference.

If you know an animal rescue group that could use help improving their photography email me at PipiDiamond@gmail.com to set up a time for me to give a presentation.
