Today was from our second adoption photo day this month at the @HumaneSocietyTampa . We have been so lucky to have sponsors that are helping us go to the shelter more often! We have photographed 23 shelter pets this month so far, Yay! We have 2 shoots planned for November and 3 shoots planned for December. We’re still looking for a sponsor for our adoption photo shoot on December 13th. If your business or company would like to sponsor us, please send us a DM. In this BTS video is Maya! She had 6 head tilts, which I think is a record for us! She’s a 2 year-old Boxer Mix and had puppies shortly after she arrived at the shelter. She’s very sweet, but can be shy at first. She warms up very quickly though and it didn’t take long for her personality to come out. What do you think about her intake photo vs the photo we took? #rescuedog #shelterdog #tampa #agoldphoto
“My Dog Bit My Nose Off But I Won’t Put Him Down” #how Dogs can be incredibly aggressive, even toward owners they have lived with for a decade, due to a variety of factors, including medical issues, fear, territorial instincts, or changes in their environment. While most dogs form strong, lasting bonds with their owners, aggression can emerge unexpectedly, sometimes after years of seemingly stable behavior. One major cause is pain or illness—conditions like arthritis, neurological disorders, or hidden injuries can make a dog more irritable and reactive. If a dog suddenly becomes aggressive, especially if it was previously gentle, an underlying health issue should be considered. Other triggers include age-related cognitive decline, where older dogs may develop confusion or anxiety, leading to unpredictable aggression. Changes in the home environment, such as new people, other pets, or disruptions in routine, can also create stress that manifests as defensive or territorial behavior. #pets #dogs #safety
