Striking, emotionally charged, fine art photographs chronicle the lives of approximately 60 once-abandoned dogs, illuminating each one’s journey from a shelter or rescue organization to a loving, permanent home are featured in a new book. ABANDONED: Chronicling the Journeys of Once-Forsaken Dogs is a decade-long project inspired by Katherine Carver’s own adopted Shetland Sheepdog, Biscuit. He had been abandoned, which set Carver on a quest to examine the lives of other dogs who found themselves in similar situations.
Carver initially met and photographed each dog shortly after they entered a shelter or rescue organization, and then again approximately a year after being adopted. The juxtaposition of the “before and after” photographs illustrate the profound benefits of animal adoption for both dogs and humans alike. Carver hopes this work compels viewers to consider dog rescue and adoption.
Carver is donating a portion of her royalties, earned from the sale of this book, to the SPCA International, helping dogs in need around the globe.
