Virginia Shelter Rescues 3 Pregnant Dogs, Their Foster Parents Put on Individual Maternity Shoots to Help Them Get Adopted

When Homeward Trails Animal Rescue took in three pregnant dogs, they knew they needed the best care. Homeward Trails Animal Rescue is a non-profit that provides pet adoption and rescue services in Virginia, Washington D.C., and Maryland.

In an interview with People, the organization revealed that the three dogs who were expecting are named Shelly, Sassy, and Fiona. And shortly after they were found foster homes, all three of the moms gave birth, but not before they modeled for the camera in separate maternity shoots that would help the non-profit bring awareness to the importance of adopting a pet rather than shopping for a pet.

More specifically the photos were to help find forever families for Shelly, Sassy, and Fiona after they gave birth.
