Search for local dog models for a cause
AN award winning photographer is on the hunt for some of the cutest dogs on the Atherton Tablelands, as a part of her money raising campaign helping raise funds for animal and vet charities.
Puppy Tales owner Kerry Martin has teamed up with Tails of the World, a collective of professional pet photographers, to celebrate the dogs of the regions while making a difference for animals in need through photographic coffee table books.
Through sales of the books, they will raise money for Vets Beyond Borders (VBB) and AMRRIC (Animal Management in Rural and Remote Indigenous Communities).
The annual books have raised over $140,000 (AUD) for animal charities worldwide and featured more than 1,150 dogs from across the globe.
Funds are raised through donations of the photo session fees and book sales.
Sessions will be photographed by Kerry and will be featured in the official Tails of the World Volume 3.
“I’m su-paw excited to be using my photography to make a difference to animals in need,” Kerry said.
“I also adore that I get to showcase some of the most beautiful areas in Australia with the dogs I photograph for the project.
“I have chosen to support VBB and AMRRIC because they provide notable services to animals in the areas that I’ll be covering with the project. It’s important to me to support local for a project that is locally based.
“I’ve also partnered with VBB following the 2020 bushfires with our Puppy Tales fundraising calendar and know of the incredible work that they do through this.”
Session spots are strictly limited. Participation cost starts from $100. The participation fee and 5% of photography wall art sales from the sessions will be donated to Vets Beyond Borders and AMRRIC.
