The collaboration comes at an ideal time for Stray Rescue; the non-profit is currently at capacity and is eager to find homes for loving pets ahead of the holiday season, and make room for more animals at its facilities.
Benton Park, Anise, Sweet Potato, Queenie and The Fixer Upper puppies are the canine stars of these shots, and all are available for adoption.
