Dogs at the Dane County Humane Society (Pictures) - Updated 07-27-2009
Friday I went to the humane society to take some pictures of a friends dogs, while I was out there I took a few dogs outside and took some photos of them. Here are some of them:
Only one sad indoor one (this guy is up for adoption):
These guys are from "Pre-Adopt" they have not been approved yet, or are on hold as strays for up to a week before they can be made adoptable:
Collie/Retriever Mix:
Male Pit (Pits love their toys, and being goofy)
He didn't have any manners, and was a bit of a leg humper. If he isn't picked up soon he will be neutered and evaluated for adoption.
Female Pit - RIP 05-13-2008
Nose to nose with an adoptable dog on the other side. Possible Shiba or Besenji and Terrier mix?
A girl who just got moved up to adoptable who was out with some other volunteers:
The website I put my galleries on is going to be shut down soon. I need to figure out something else for galleries so I don't have to cram so many pictures into one thread/post, but I wanted to share.
I'm thinking about taking my camera out there more often. However most of the time I keep busy enough just trying to get the dogs out.

As usual Brandon, I LOVE your action shots! The first one of the female pit running toward the camera is just brilliant. You can see how muscular she is.
I also really like the shots of the male pit being goofy. :-)
Some time outside, warm sun, and soft grass can make dogs really, really happy.
Dave - She is muscular, most pits are, she's a real powerhouse though, once she is out that door, you need to hold on tight and hope your shoulder doesn't pop out.
Pam - It's in the works. http://bwpetphotography.blogspot.com/ I haven't started soliciting business, but hopefully I will be getting business cards to hand out by the end of the month. There are two other really good pet photographers in the area, I'm not trying to make a career of it, but some extra cash wouldn't hurt now and then, and you get to hang out with peoples pets.
I may not love all of the politics of the place, but it's still a great place, and it's nice to be able to take the dogs out to some grass and throw the ball around with them.
There are a few extras on here, and I will probably upload a few more once I get home.

I don't even know what a dynamic dns, apache server or php software is.
That was nice to see.
He is back up for adoption already, hopefully the next family that adopts him is more deserving than the last one.
Other than that, all of the dogs in here have been adopted except Coltrane, who is the male pit. He has been in isolation because of kennel cough so he doesn't get as many people looking at him, as a lot of the public does not ask to see the adoptable dogs in iso.
I'm completely in love with him, there are a few more pictures on flickr.
I'll have pictures of more dogs in the next few days.
that's awesome
More dogs from Thursday:
How awesome is this guy?
I love Rotties, I think he is still growing, his head was enormous.
A little fluffball, sweet but demanding (cute underbite too):
This guy barks a lot, and jumps fences. He's pretty awesome:
*sniff* *sniff* I FOUND TREAT POCKET!
Flying dog (same as treat sniffer):
And his buddy:
I'm just sad I was looking into the sun for it, maybe I'll try to HDR It, when I start doing that...
Another black and tan mutt (not flying dog):
A little blurry, but I like it anyhow. This dog was great. Doesn't know a damn thing but he LOVES everyone.
Portrait dog of the day:
I was calling this one the Cattle Pit, because she seemed Cattle dog like to go along with the pit:
There are more on my flickr page (this should take you directly to the set):
