I love me some Wire Fox Terriers! They’re so smart, photogenic, and look like little stuffed animals. Love love love them! They don’t even look real in some of these shots. Max and Grace’s dad won a shoot with me at a silent auction benefiting Much Love Animal Rescue.

Their lashes are to die for.

Now for some doggies looking for their forever homes:

And guess what?

Huzzah!

Huzzah, The Paw’d Squad is now officially The DAWG SQUAD! And there’s a snazzy new website and logo to match the adorable new name. New look, new name, but the same amazing dedication to the dogs in Los Angeles who need great homes.

BEFORE:

AFTER: (logo & website rebranding designed by yours truly)

The new website has about a million pages, just jam-packed with great information. So a HUGE shoutout to the absolutely amazing Stephanie who spent hours upon hours creating the website!

I am so excited about the rebranding. As an advertising professional, I know first hand how much good branding and design appeals to consumers. So I hope the new look means more homes for more doggies!

And here are some doggies who are looking for their forever homes. They are all as sweet as they look. Lansky and Cayenne especially break my heart because they’ve been with The Dawg Squad for so long!

And last but not least…

Una, cause she has “una” eye!

Many of you have inquired about sweet Jeffrey, the dog that was saved from near death by the Paw’d Squad. Well, here’s an update!

I went to adoptions on Saturday to photograph some dogs and see how Jeffrey was doing. And I ended up walking right by him — he’s completely unrecognizable! After 2 months of lots of medical care, love, and a wonderful foster home with his very own cat, Jeffrey has blossomed. He’s gone up from a measly 45 pounds to 80 pounds! And Jeffrey even has some families interested in him, so hopefully the next time I blog about him he’ll be in his forever home.

Carole from the Paw’d Squad says on December 20th:
“Jeffrey wants to wish everyone HAPPY HOLIDAYS! He is now up to 75 pounds and is looking more handsome every day. He still has blood and bone marrow issues….but he’s getting there

Thank you all for your kindness and support. We couldn’t have done it without you!”

Here’s Jeffrey before:

Thank you for supporting Jeffrey with your kind thoughts, networking his story, and for your financial support. In these crazy times, it’s so reassuring to know that there’s still so much goodness in the world.

PS: Jeffrey has his own facebook page! Add him as a friend to keep track of his amazing progress.

Wow you guys are amazingly creative. And FAST!

I can see a lot of these names being used eventually by the Paw’d Squad. So thanks so much for participating in the contest! It was a lot of fun reading through the name ideas.

But Carole has picked the winners… Drumroll please…
