Bold, introverted, solemn, vibrant, eccentric, or endearing—the dogs in Traer Scott’s exceptional photographs look at us with humor, dignity, and an array of profound emotions. Scott started photographing these dogs in 2005 while volunteering at animal shelters. Her debut book, Shelter Dogs, was an overwhelming success. In this sequel, Scott presents a fresh ensemble of canine subjects, each boasting an unyielding character and spirit.
Meet Morrissey, a pit bull who suffered from anxiety-related behaviors due to shelter life until a family with four children adopted him. We encounter Chloe, a young chocolate Lab mix, delivered to a shelter by an allergy-ridden family. There’s Gabriel and Cody, retired racing greyhounds, and Bingley, a dog who lost his hearing during a drug bust, yet was adopted by a compassionate family that has risen to the challenge of living with a deaf dog.
Through comprehensive features, we delve deeper into the personalities and life stories of chosen dogs and observe their sometimes rough, yet always emotional, transition to new homes. The portraits in Finding Home make a moving appeal for the pressing need for more adoptive families while paying tribute to dogs everywhere.
