Tails of the World 2023

Tails of the World 2023

In May 2023 we participated in the 2nd annual fundraising session called Tails of the World. In conjunction with 74 photographers from 14 countries, over $65,000 was raised for local rescues around the world!

(See the end of this post if you would like the chance to represent Toronto in 2024.)

Highlights of 2023

* We were thrilled to be featured by Susan Hay on Global News (click here)! She helped so much by shedding light on this important project.

* We expanded to 3 locations and were blessed with beautiful weather for all dates.

* We beat our previous goal from 2022 and raised $1400 for Fetch + Releash.

A Huge, Big Thank You

We could not have done it without the amazing pups and people who participated. So many got up early, travelled far, and followed maps to make this happen. And everyone was absolutely on time for their session!

So…without further ado, here are the 12 dogs respresenting TORONTO in Tails of the World book for 2023.

(Psst…want to see the rest of the 785 dogs and still raise money for rescue? You can purchase the book here.)

In case you missed it, earlier this week I was featured on Global News Toronto as part of the Tails of the World book project. I was also asked to be filmed while photographing two dogs who will be a part of the project, Sophie and Myca.

The experience was both nerve-racking and exhilarating. As a professional pet photographer, I am used to being behind the camera, but being in front of it was a whole other thing. However, I was thrilled to be able to share my love of photographing the dogs and cats of Toronto, as well as the work I do for Fetch + Releash.

See some of the photographs we produced, the behind-the-scenes, a recording of the Global News segment, and information on how you can be a part of the next Tails of the World project.

The Featured Photographs

The one thing I did not worry about were the models. I’ve worked with Myca (the bernedoodle) and Sophie (the pomeranian) numerous times in the past, and they always knock it out of the park. The bonus is that, when these two appear, no one looks at me anyway laughing

Tails of the World 2022

Tails of the World 2022

In April 2022 we embarked on our first fundraising session called Tails of the World. In the end, we raised $1100 for Fetch + Releash and, in conjunction with 65 photographers worldwide, over $25,000!

(See the end of this post to see how you can be a part of 2023.)

But first, let’s look back at the dogs and humans of 2022.

It was a cold, windy day in early April when we met up with all of the hero pups of Toronto who were helping out the less fortunate.

It started out as a misty morning for our first doggies…

By the afternoon, the sun started to peak out at times. And we shot until the sun set.
