Photographer's work increases dog adoptions at shelter
Sep 20, 2011
When pet photographer Teresa Berg decided to volunteer to take new photos of dogs at a local shelter for their online profiles, it resulted in a 100 percent increase in adoptions at the shelter, PopPhoto.com reports.
CBS News reported that thousands of dogs are euthanized every year, and bad marketing - that is, bad photos posted online - may be to blame. Many online photos of pets for adoption are low-quality, taken on a cell phone, or show the dog in an unflattering light, inside a cage, or with eyes glowing from the flash, the news source reports.
"I cant stand that thought, of, for want of a good picture, a dog goes homeless," she told CBS News.
Every single one of the dogs that she photographed at the Dallas Fort Worth Dachshund Rescue got adopted in record time, and adoptions at the shelter went up 100 percent, the news source reports.
"Pictures make a difference," shelter director Kathleen Coleman told the news source.
Berg is now training volunteers from other rescue leagues and shelters to photograph dogs more attractively, and is persuading other photographers to volunteer their time, too.
"If every photographer just took in one rescue group, we could save so many dogs, we really could," Berg told the news source.

Hitting the Cold Spots warms the hearts
Thursday, 06 December 2012
Cold weather not only makes life uncomfortable but can also lead to serious health problems such as respiratory diseases, asthma, depression, heart disease and strokes. Hampshire County Council's 'Hitting the Colds Spots' scheme is building on last year's initiative with another campaign targeted at older and vulnerable people who may struggle to keep warm and pay the bills during the cold winter months.
Older and vulnerable people of any age can 'fall beneath the radar', because they are unaware of the range of options available or find it difficult to access help. Hitting the Cold Spots aims to give them immediate and practical advice on reducing energy bills, increasing available income and keeping warm. This advice is available through a free advice line (0800 804 8601). Depending on the situation, further help may also be on offer with free home visits by Hitting the Cold Spots advisors, access to efficient, oil-filled radiators and grants to assist with hot water and heating repairs using Buy With Confidence traders. In addition, information packs on how to keep warm at home are available via local voluntary community organisations - these include a room thermometer, cosy snood, children's activity pack and useful information.
The scheme, funded by the Department of Health, has already helped 300 Hampshire residents this year with issues such as switching to a cheaper energy tariff, accessing grants to cope with winter fuel emergencies, debt and benefit advice tailored to individual circumstances and assessment for mains gas connection. A third of these callers benefited from a further follow-up visit to their home by a Hitting the Cold Spots advisor who was able to offer them practical assistance with obtaining heating and hot water repairs. One of the advantages of the scheme is that it provides a one-stop shop for many different problems which together may seem insurmountable for an individual. As one satisfied customer from Gosport said about the Hitting the Cold Spots advisor's help, "He sorted everything out. I would have been overwhelmed by it."
Councillor Felicity Hindson, Executive Member for Adult Social Care at Hampshire County Council said:
"I'm very pleased that our Hitting the Cold Spots scheme is helping people to keep warm and addressing winter fuel poverty among older and vulnerable people. The scheme offers a dedicated free advice line with a 'real person' to speak to who can give immediate, practical advice and follow up on the tougher problems.
"When people have had long-term problems with their heating systems or with paying their energy bills it can sometimes take a lot of courage to make that first call and it is encouraging that more and more people are finding the confidence to call our energy advisors."
The easy way to find out more information is to call the dedicated freephone advice line 0800 804 8601 where one of the Hampshire-based, friendly and knowledgeable energy advisors from the Environment Centre will be able to give immediate, impartial and practical help.
Community groups can get more information on how to become involved, and on all aspects of Hitting the Cold Spots, by calling the freephone advice line.

"Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts. Such is the rule of our warfare. We advance by yielding; we rise by falling; we conquer by suffering; we persuade by silence; we become rich by bountifulness; we inherit the earth through meekness; we gain comfort through mourning; we earn glory by penitence and prayer. Heaven and earth shall sooner fall than this rule be reversed; it is the law of Christ's kingdom, and nothing can reverse it but sin." John Henry Newman
"A credibility trap is a condition wherein the financial, political and informational functions of a society have been compromised by corruption and fraud, so that the leadership cannot effectively reform, or even honestly address, the problems of that system without impairing and implicating, at least incidentally, a broad swath of the power structure, including themselves.
The status quo tolerates the corruption and the fraud because they have profited at least indirectly from it, and would like to continue to do so. Even the impulse to reform within the power structure is susceptible to various forms of soft blackmail and coercion by the system that maintains and rewards.
And so a failed policy and its support system become self-sustaining, long after it is seen by objective observers to have failed. In its failure it is counterproductive, and an impediment to recovery in the real economy. Admitting failure is not an option for the thought leaders who receive their power from that system.
The continuity of the structural hierarchy must therefore be maintained at all costs, even to the point of becoming a painfully obvious, organized hypocrisy.
The Banks must be restrained, and the financial system reformed, with balance restored to the economy, before there can be any sustainable recovery.
Welcome to Jesse's Café Américain - These are personal observations about the economy and the markets. In providing information, I hope this allows you to make your own decisions in an informed manner, even if it is from learning by my mistakes, which are many. As a standing policy I never provide individual investment advice to anyone. I will only occasionally disclose my personal positions for purposes of illustration. Understand that my own circumstances could differ greatly from your own, and therefore what is suitable for me may not be suitable for you. My comments are intended to be reflection on general macro financial and economic events and trends.
