CALLING ALL SHELTERS!

We are looking for a selection of very special shelters

across the United States to participate in The Greatest Adventure

In Summer 2024, world renowned dog photographer Kaylee Greer and her team are setting off on an adventure the likes of which the photography world has never seen.

Throughout the year, they'll travel across the United States to find shelter dogs with incredible stories to tell. With help from her team and shelter volunteers, Kaylee will take adoptable dogs out of each shelter for a day of unforgettable adventure. They'll climb mountains, splash in the ocean, bask in the sunlight that weaves it's way through forest trees, and stick their heads out of car windows to breathe in fresh air.

Along the way, Kaylee will create breathtaking imagery in her trademark colorful, whimsical style, while her team captures stunning video. That media will then be pushed out to the world through social media, blogs, and editorials to shine a light on a dog who needs it so much.

It's by telling stories through the power of photography that these forgotten dogs will finally get to go on their real Greatest Adventure.

Going home.

LET US TEACH YOUR VOLUNTEERS

AND LET CANON PROVIDE THE CAMERAS

Photography is an incredibly impactful and persuasive medium, with the power to give a voice to the voiceless.

For many shelter dogs, a single image is their only shot at getting noticed by potential adopters, and finding their forever homes.

Your shelter volunteers and staff will receive an immersive educational photography workshop presented by multi-international award-winning dog photographer and bestselling author Kaylee Greer and a professional camera and lens kit will be donated to your shelter to continue the impact, thanks to our incredibly generous sponsor Canon.

Here is a small selection of images featuring original adoption photos taken by untrained shelter volunteers, followed by Kaylee’s bold and powerful portrait of that same shelter dog - helping to communicate a more impactful and hopeful story.
