I, GLORIA YARINA, am an award winning photographer at various juried shows. My photos have been published in a range of commercial venues. To combine my love of dogs with my passion for photography, I take lots of photos of dogs. (Yes, I shoot flowers, cats, architecture, and more, transforming photos into art as creativity hits me and are included in portfolio.)
A website seemed to be needed to help promote each foster or rescued dog by showing the public more photos of each dog in temporary residence or shelter.
Since 2003 I have been a foster volunteer along with generous help from my husband Dave.
THE RESIDENT RESCUED BRITTS:
In June, 2004 we adopted Sonny, an orange and white pup from American Brittany Rescue.
In June, 2007 we added JenJen, a liver and white girl to our family. She was surrendered by her owners to ABR.
In August, 1986 Mimi, our Dalmatian was born. She has been a constant inspiration for photography, all the cute looks she has.
Why we foster? Well, naturally for the love of dogs. Also we foster as a way to honor the memory of all the dogs we have cherished and lost. They provided us with so much joy, love and companionship.
In remembrance of:
CH FORTUNE'S FIRST KNIGHT, JUNIOR, my very special dog. He had a stroke at 7, much too young to leave us.
CH SPOTLIGHT'S FORTUNE TELLER, GYPSY, and the "IT" girl. At 10 cancer took her.
RIDGEVALLEY'S MEGABYE, MEGGI, our teacher, and learning dog. She died at 12 1/2, old age.
LUCKI, my first dog. As her name, she was young until 15 1/2 and then gone.
Thanks for viewing this site.
If a dog looks just like yours, consider purchasing that photo. All pictures are available.
