When a stray dog goes up for adoption, a shelter tries to do everything it can to help find it a loving home. They provide information about the animal’s breed, background, and personality, but most importantly: they display beautiful photos of the sweet pup, hoping to catch a future owner’s eye.
Some dogs, however, are much more comfortable in front of the camera than others. Staff members at San Francisco Animal Care & Control (SFACC) recently held an adoption photo shoot for a spunky stray chihuahua, and the results were stranger — and more hilarious — than anyone expected.
When staffers at San Francisco Animal Care & Control (SFACC) took adoption photos of this stray chihuahua, things didn’t go quite according to plan.
The pup, named Carpe Diem, didn’t exactly seem comfortable in front of the camera…
…either that, or he decided to photobomb his very own glamour shots!
SFACC’s Deb Campbell says, “He’s a very silly little dog, not shivering like many little dogs. He is very expressive.” I’ll say!
About Carpe Diem, Deb adds: “He is always happy and upbeat and excited about everything he sees and everyone he meets. His name fits him perfectly, because he seizes every day!”
If the purpose of adoption photos is to let a dog’s unique personality shine through, then mission definitely accomplished!
In the end, the unconventional photo shoot worked: Carpe Diem has been adopted and found his forever home!
