Exploring Myrtle Beach State Park

Got to go on a short but nice little hike today through Myrtle Beach State Park with my best friends because it was an absolutely gorgeous January day! We had a good time walking the trails and sniffin’ around

I think this is called a Sea Oat. They are everywhere, but we are not allowed to pick them.

The Start of a Hopeful Adventure

Today I had the pleasure of meeting with all the volunteers of the Coastal Animal Rescue in Murrells Inlet South Carolina. This dedicated group of people run a shelter and clinic providing warmth, food and water to over 400 stray cats that have been left without a home. It was overwhelming walking into this place and seeing all of these animals who are just craving for your attention and love. I have decided to offer my photographic services to documenting each and every animal in that place so that they can have images to post on adoption websites and in local advertisements. Today was my first day visiting the place and we didn’t have much time to start this project, but I did get a chance to visit and photograph the several canine inhabitants that were in their own little section in the back. I don’t know if these puppies have names yet, but they were all personality It was hard for me not to take all of them home myself. Here are the first of many images that I will be taking at this shelter in hope that these images will help portray the unique personalities of every creature in this place, and in turn, help find every one of these animals a loving home.

1 of 3 siblings. She was adopted and returned recently because she had hurt her paw and was limping. She was the sweetest out of all of them

This little guy was such a little teddy bear. Very playful and lovable. One of those puppies that you just want to squeeze.

I was in a seperate section photographing one of the pups when I turned around to find the siblings fighting for my attention

How could you say no?

This was the only sharp image I could get of this little girl. She wanted to bite my camera in the WORST way

I wasn’t planning on posting any of these pictures, but being there and seeing these animals made me think about how much people don’t think about all of the homeless animals out there already. And not to mention the importance of spaying or neutering your pet. There are too many animals that need homes and a caring family. Obviously I don’t know many people here in South Carolina yet and I don’t expect anyone to be flying down here to adopt any of these puppies or cats <although that would be super awesome>, but if you are thinking about taking a pet into your home, PLEASE consider rescuing or adopting first. These facilities can only hold so many animals and I think we all know what happens when a lot of these places get too full.
