Marissa from De La Doggies talks to us today about using photography to become an animal shelter volunteer, and help rescued animals find homes.  Marissa lives in Los Angeles and is a pet and human photographer.  For over 10 years, she\\u2019s been helping rescues around LA take photos of the animals that they save.  These photos are then shared all over social media to speed up the adoption process.

\\n

The simple action that we can all take after today\'s episode is to share photos of animals that need homes when we see them on Facebook or Instagram.  Or, we can go one step further, and join a "Friends of" Facebook group for our local shelter and proactively look for animals to share.  

\\n

Why should we consider doing this?  Because sharing photos absolutely saves lives.  Marissa shares how she has seen numerous animals find homes at the last minute, just because someone shared their photo.
