Photos of adoptable scruffs, helping them get more profile views and online interest through photography.

“So it started, you know, with just a regular human wanting to make a difference in the world of dogs as pets, and realizing she had the ability and skillset to do so. The intentions were good, and that allowed for natural growth in what SOS had to offer from the start. Sure, we eventually got the hang of those hashtag things, and we started posting better photos, but from the beginning, everyone was involved for the right reasons — even when the rescue’s scope was miniscule.

When SOS was small, it allowed us to grow together, learn through our experiences and talk them through. A community formed organically and sparked those who had the desire to give their time and efforts to what we now know to be a multi-faceted organization advocating for dogs in many different spaces.

SOS started out as what we now might understand to be an adoption agency. But as you look even just a smidgeon of a bit closer, you’ll hopefully see that’s not where we are now.

SOS started small — and small was cool and collective and fun and sometimes simpler. But then we grew. We grew together and we grew for the dogs. And the humans on board with our mission. We grew for them (and with them) too.”
