Gorgeous Photo Series Helps Often-Overlooked Black Dogs Get Adopted

Darker-colored pups, it’s said, have a hard time finding homes — in part because their adoption photos don’t always turn out so great.

Humane Society of Utah photographer Guinnevere Shuster is changing all that with a stunning new series of adoption pictures, centered around one very simple, laudable idea.

“People often comment on how black dogs do not photograph well, so I really wanted to show that they can,” Shuster says.
