Loretta and her mom #puppies 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
A close-up shot of a puppy reclining in a sand yard, oriented towards the camera, which the photographer is holding at ground level. The puppy is mostly white with light gray patches over their eyes and ears, and have their right front paw tucked under themselves as they stare into the lens. In the background, an adult dog looms, watching the pup. There are barriers made of shipping palettes and corrugated aluminum panels lining the area.

Our little chocolate Bunny 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
Close shot with the camera held at ground level and inclined slightly up to catch a pretty young dog with chocolate Rottweiler markings, her mouth open, holding her head slightly to the right and looking coyly left at the photographer. The shot catches the full greenery of a large Neem tree in the background, with a barrier of sticks woven through hurricane fence and pale blue sky beyond.

Serious Ruby 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
A reddish dog with white chest and paws, a shaggy coat and long tail sitting up and staring into the camera with narrowed eyes. They are outside in the corner of an enclosed space made with shipping palettes, the slats of which break the afternoon light into bands across her face and chest.

Happy muddy pups 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
A white dog with rust spots on her ears, back and tail stands proudly, her coat wet from an excursion into a pond. A smaller, gray, shaggy dog is behind her, also wet and happy. Three other dogs are milling around.

Synchronized swimmers Gowron, Linda and Amber 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
Medium-distance shot of three small dogs swimming in the shallows of the Gulf of MEXICO, just their heads above water. They appear to be executing a circle figure. The ocean is gray/green, the horizon is visible with a pale blue sky overhead.

Toys are for sharing #puppies 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
Close shot of two dogs, one rust colored dog standing oriented towards the left with their head turned towards the camera, and a puppy lying on the ground oriented towards the camera at a slight angle. They both have their front paws on or near a ball, which lies in the sand between them. They appear as though they have been snapped in mid-play by the photographer.

Two sisters, one chair 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
A close-up shot of a folding canvas chair with a blanket on the seat and two young dogs in it; they look eerily similar, like echoes, both white with greyish/brownish patches over their eyes and ears and subtle spots all through their coats. The one on the left is sitting up, while the other one is lying down and occupying her half of the chair as much as she can. They are both looking directly at the photographer. The chair is outdoors, in a sand yard. Trees and greenery can be seen in the background.

Naps are always better with a friend 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
A little brown dog lies left-to-right in the frame, partially on her back with her head pressed into the side of a mostly white dog lying at an angle to her. The brown dog's eyes are closed and she looks happy, napping while her companion watches over her. The white dog, who has black and tan patches over both ears and eyes, is looking into the camera. Brightness and shadow play over the area, covering the dogs in dappled light.

Close up of two pups lying head to head in a sand yard. They are lying up against a barrier made of long, straight sticks woven through green hurricane fence, their backs pressed up against it. One of them is holding their head up and licking their nose while looking at the camera, the other's head is on the sand with one eye directed towards the photographer.

Close shot of a small dog with Rottweiler markings on her head but a white chest and legs, seated in a sand yard and facing the camera in dappled light under a large tree. Behind her a blonde dog can be seen looking off to the left, and a couple other brown dogs are also milling around.

Puppy sibs share a nap #puppies 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
Close shot facing down into a sand yard where two puppies are napping head-to-head, next to a division in the yard made of long, straight sticks and hurricane fence. The puppy on the left is black, tan and white and the one on the right with some tan and black on their face. Both were drawn from the same color palette.

An orange cat walking across the top of a concrete table outside on a deck overlooking the ocean. The blue sky is streaked with light clouds and the cat has an intense expression on its face, absolutely focused on the photographer.

Xmul hits the beach after a storm 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
Medium distance shot of a brown dog charging towards the photographer in a frenzy of greetings and happiness. They are on the shore of the Gulf of MEXICO, seaweed clogs up the shallows and there is a slight bluff on which the dog is running. In the distance a man can be seen walking under the shade of a pine tree growing very close to the water. The sky is bright blue with some light clouds.

Our girl Xmul 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
A portrait of a single brown dog taken outdoors in a sand yard. They are lying next to a green hurricane fence facing to the left along its edge, but their head is turned looking back towards the right. Bright sunlight casts shadows via some dense Ceder bushes on the other side of the fence, and pretty yellow flowers are blooming in a line next to her. The Gulf of MEXICO can be seen in the background, beyond the coastal scrub.

That ball hasn't hit the ground yet 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
Close up shot of two dogs playing with the same orange ball. They are both facing the camera. One has their head turned completely sideways with their mouth as open as wide as possible, the other has their head inclined slightly to the left and seems to be holding the ball in their fangs, but both dogs clearly lay claim to the ball. They are outside in a sand yard bordered by a hurricane fence with white plastic privacy picketing attached. A large Neem tree is growing just inside the fence behind them, and the fronds of a coconut palm can be seen behind them to the right.

Sharing is good, now let go! 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
Close-up shot of two dogs holding the same orange dog toy in their mouths at once, both looking into the camera. They are in a sand yard and many other dogs can be seen hanging out in the background. A hurricane fence with white, plastic privacy shielding can be seen in the distance bordering the yard. To the right part of a house is visible.

Gowron and Blue touch grass 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
Outdoor shot in bright sunlight under a hazy but still blue sky of two dogs walking towards the camera on the faintest of trails through the coastal scrub. They are bursting through some underbrush shoulder to shoulder, and both exude an air of happiness. To the left, a small, shaggy white dog with orange patches on their ears, back and butt; to the right a blue/gray dog with black patches on their ears and butt.
