Who:    Fruehauf’s Patio Furniture and Gift Store is hosting a Holiday Portrait fundraiser for Shelter-Me Photography, Inc. (SMP), a local, charitable, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that professionally photographs shelter animals at no cost to those caring for them.

When:    Saturday, November 7:    10am – 3pm
Sunday, November 8:    11am – 4pm

How:    10-minute portrait sittings by reservation only. Call 303-242-1623 or email info@ShelterMePhotography.org.

Why:    SMP provides a unique and vital service to animal shelter, rescue and foster organizations. Simply put, a great picture can mean the difference between life and death for an animal awaiting adoption, especially in this economy where euthanasia rates for surrendered pets are on the rise.

Since Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005, SMP’s images have made nearly 2,000 homeless animals look their best and helped boost adoption rates as high as 100% percent for the animals photographed!
