Featured in Animal Tracks Magazine

We are thrilled to share with you the current edition of Animal Tracks Magazine. Animal Tracks is the magazine of the Animal Humane Society. It is published three times a year in April, August and December. It is mailed to donors and individuals enrolled in our Training School and educational programs. Last fall, Melissa was asked to photograph for the Spring/Summer 2011 publications for two articles. The first article featured the AHS's Animal Ambassadors program. Volunteers are trained with their pets to provide animal-assisted therapy and activities to people
throughout the Twin Cities metro area. They visit schools, nursing homes, hospitals, and other facilities to provide comfort, enrichment and learning opportunities to the people who need it most. We spent a morning at the Southside Family Nurturing Center photographing therapy dog, Duke, his owner Mindy and the preschoolers there. It was such an enriching experience to see how Duke would light up the faces of so many preschoolers.

The second article featured AHS staff and their pets: specifically pets they have adopted from the AHS. We met some of the very dedicated AHS staff and their lovable pets including a pit bull terrier, a Doberman Pinscher, several cats and even a guinea pig. It was a great assignment and one that we loved to do. Thanks to the AHS for such a fun few days!
