Portraits Rescue Pets!

Dogma Pet Portraits in Costa Mesa just launched a giving back program by rescuing a pet every month. After co-owners Sylvaine and David Capron adopted a dog from Barks of Love, her presence in their lives turned into an eye-opening education on rescues and the number of dogs who desperately need to find homes or face euthanization.

They opened their studio to photograph rescued dogs, and help raise funds by donating artwork, as well as having a fundraiser benefiting the rescue of the month.

To thank the volunteers and supporters they are offering a free pet photo shoot at the studio and 20% off regular prices (10% of sales goes back to the rescue organization).

The chosen rescue for September will be Pet Place International month, and next adoption event will be on Sept. 18 with Pei People, the Shar-Pei rescue.

Dogma Pet Portraits is at 1729 Superior Ave. in Costa Mesa. 714.642.9021.
