COREY TOWERS CARES A LOT ABOUT DOGS
Corey Towers is a great photographer and animal lover who I met after many colleagues brought his work to my attention. At a meeting with Corey and my friend Stacy Alldredge, the trainer, we came up with the idea to introduce Corey to MaeDay Rescue, a brilliant rescue organization for dogs in Los Angeles. Corey and MaeDay partnered to make these exclusive portraits for Mrs. Sizzle, and we hope that the dogs above, Frances and Tabitha, get adopted tomorrow at Urban Pet in Los Angeles.
ALWAYS JUDGING AND YARK TAKE A SUMMER STROLL AND FIND A DOG
I was doing my usual troll on Instagram when I came across this great video that was a collaboration between ALWAYS JUDGING, YARK dog, and a fab song by Katie Herzig. Yark does a chic leash, a canine couch and cute collar. Always Judging blows me away with her fashion sense and music intuition. Not to mention this girl is a dog lover!
TOAST MEETS WORLD, JAGGER, AND RILEY ARE SUPERMODEL DOGS
Toast Meets World is a brave puppy mill survivor who is here to teach us that rescue dogs are as beautiful as our purebred supermodels, Jagger a Yorkie and Riley a Shih Tzu. We use the word survivor because most “breeding” dogs at mills meet and early and unpleasant end once their bodies can no longer produce. Toast was photographed in a studio on August 7th in NYC by Tom Schirmacher and had her hair done by Gavin Harwin who had also previously worked on the shot of Jagger and Riley a few months back.
DAWN WHITMORE LOVES HER POODLE BEN
This lovely photographer, Dawn Whitmore, sent me her delicious story about her rescue dog Ben. "Ben is an incredible pup despite a rocky history. He was pulled by authorities from a hoarding/puppy mill situation in rural Minnesota. He was the only Standard among a ton of tiny dogs. Sadly, he was very aggressive and sent to German Shepherd rescue for a few weeks to determine whether or not he might be adoptable to someone. I had applied for a rescue poodle weeks before (with Mid Atlantic Poodle Rescue) and received a call that there was a dog available. I was the only acceptable candidate for him because I'd worked as a vet tech several years prior and am familiar with crazy dogs. Needless to say I took him in October 2011 and have done lots of positive training classes with the Washington Animal Rescue League (WARL) here in DC.
SOPHIE GAMAND LIKES TO PLAY WITH DOGS
I am quite taken with Sophie Gamand's work which I have seen shared widely over the internet and most recently in the premier issue of Four&Sons. A brilliant photographer and dog lover, Sophie has a unique point of view and tells us about her latest series.
ADOPT US BECAUSE WE ARE WEARING JOHN BARTLETT!
I met John for the first time a few weeks ago and am undone by his dedication to animals and hard work to raise awareness of adoption. A brilliant clothing designer and founder of his most recent line, "The Tiny Tim Collection", John is always working to help raise funds for independent rescue groups all over the country. Check out his amazing designs here and help animals everywhere!
MRS. SIZZLE AND THE DOGIST COLLABORATE TO HELP THESE BEAUTIFUL DOGS GET ADOPTED

I have to thank The Dogist for taking the pics, Stacy Alldredge for arranging dogs, Lauren Paltin and Emily Holland for styling and Chappell Laird for assisting the whole shoot! Thanks to all foster families for coming!
