Fast Friends and Forever Homes
We recently had the absolute pleasure of working with some incredible furry friends: Ace, Barney, Johny, Justin and Roscoe, thanks to the amazing team at Love a Greyhound Rescue.
Love a Greyhound Rescue is a passionate volunteer run organisation dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming retired racing greyhounds. Their mission is to find loving permanent homes for these gentle and loyal dogs and we are honoured to support that cause by donating our time and photography skills.
Photographing greyhounds can be a bit tricky because many are trained not to sit down during their racing careers. So during sessions they usually either stand or if you’re lucky lay down for a moment of calm. Capturing their elegant and unique personalities is always a rewarding challenge.
We’re thrilled to be partnering with Love a Greyhound each month doing our part to help these deserving dogs find their forever families.
Here are five fun facts about greyhounds:
Greyhounds can reach speeds up to 45 miles per hour making them one of the fastest dog breeds
Despite their speed greyhounds are known as “couch potatoes” and love lounging around the house
They have a unique double suspension gallop meaning they can have all four feet off the ground at once while running
Greyhounds have a gentle and calm temperament making them great companions for families and seniors alike
Their slim build and short coat make them sensitive to extreme temperatures so they often need a cozy jumper in cooler weather
Working with this incredible rescue is truly inspiring and every photoshoot reminds us why we love what we do by sharing these dogs’ stories and helping them shine.
