Serious Ruby 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals

A reddish dog with white chest and paws, a shaggy coat and long tail sitting up and staring into the camera with narrowed eyes. They are outside in the corner of an enclosed space made with shipping palettes, the slats of which break the afternoon light into bands across her face and chest.

Medium-distance shot of three small dogs swimming in the shallows of the Gulf of MEXICO, just their heads above water. They appear to be executing a circle figure. The ocean is gray/green, the horizon is visible with a pale blue sky overhead.

Toys are for sharing #puppies 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals

Close shot of two dogs, one rust colored dog standing oriented towards the left with their head turned towards the camera, and a puppy lying on the ground oriented towards the camera at a slight angle. They both have their front paws on or near a ball, which lies in the sand between them. They appear as though they have been snapped in mid-play by the photographer.

Two sisters, one chair 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals

A close-up shot of a folding canvas chair with a blanket on the seat and two young dogs in it; they look eerily similar, like echoes, both white with greyish/brownish patches over their eyes and ears and subtle spots all through their coats. The one on the left is sitting up, while the other one is lying down and occupying her half of the chair as much as she can. They are both looking directly at the photographer. The chair is outdoors, in a sand yard. Trees and greenery can be seen in the background.

Naps are always better with a friend 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals

A little brown dog lies left-to-right in the frame, partially on her back with her head pressed into the side of a mostly white dog lying at an angle to her. The brown dog's eyes are closed and she looks happy, napping while her companion watches over her. The white dog, who has black and tan patches over both ears and eyes, is looking into the camera. Brightness and shadow play over the area, covering the dogs in dappled light.

Close up of two pups lying head to head in a sand yard. They are lying up against a barrier made of long, straight sticks woven through green hurricane fence, their backs pressed up against it. One of them is holding their head up and licking their nose while looking at the camera, the other's head is on the sand with one eye directed towards the photographer.

Close shot of a small dog with Rottweiler markings on her head but a white chest and legs, seated in a sand yard and facing the camera in dappled light under a large tree. Behind her a blonde dog can be seen looking off to the left, and a couple other brown dogs are also milling around.

Close shot facing down into a sand yard where two puppies are napping head-to-head, next to a division in the yard made of long, straight sticks and hurricane fence. The puppy on the left is black, tan and white and the one on the right with some tan and black on their face. Both were drawn from the same color palette.

Kevin #caturday 💕💸 🐾 #CatSky #AnimalShelter #RescueCats #AdoptDontShop #CatsOfBluesky #photography #animals

An orange cat walking across the top of a concrete table outside on a deck overlooking the ocean. The blue sky is streaked with light clouds and the cat has an intense expression on its face, absolutely focused on the photographer.

Xmul hits the beach after a storm 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals

Medium distance shot of a brown dog charging towards the photographer in a frenzy of greetings and happiness. They are on the shore of the Gulf of MEXICO, seaweed clogs up the shallows and there is a slight bluff on which the dog is running. In the distance a man can be seen walking under the shade of a pine tree growing very close to the water. The sky is bright blue with some light clouds.

Our girl Xmul 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals

A portrait of a single brown dog taken outdoors in a sand yard. They are lying next to a green hurricane fence facing to the left along its edge, but their head is turned looking back towards the right. Bright sunlight casts shadows via some dense Ceder bushes on the other side of the fence, and pretty yellow flowers are blooming in a line next to her. The Gulf of MEXICO can be seen in the background, beyond the coastal scrub.

That ball hasn't hit the ground yet 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals

Close up shot of two dogs playing with the same orange ball. They are both facing the camera. One has their head turned completely sideways with their mouth as open as wide as possible, the other has their head inclined slightly to the left and seems to be holding the ball in their fangs, but both dogs clearly lay claim to the ball. They are outside in a sand yard bordered by a hurricane fence with white plastic privacy picketing attached. A large Neem tree is growing just inside the fence behind them, and the fronds of a coconut palm can be seen behind them to the right.

Sharing is good, now let go! 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals

Close-up shot of two dogs holding the same orange dog toy in their mouths at once, both looking into the camera. They are in a sand yard and many other dogs can be seen hanging out in the background. A hurricane fence with white, plastic privacy shielding can be seen in the distance bordering the yard. To the right part of a house is visible.

Tupo and a couple pals 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals

Outdoor shot taken under a tarp, with light streaming in from the left, in a sand yard full of dogs. In the foreground a puppy with Rottweiler colors sits facing the camera, his ears flopped forward. Behind him a cream colored dog sits facing right, her head lolling over towards the camera. Behind them and to the left, a white dog stands facing to the right. Beyond them other dogs can be seen and in the background a bearded man wearing a red T-shirt stands.

This is the crew you want at your back 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals

Outdoor shot in bright sunlight of a group of four dogs walking on a sand track through coastal scrub. The lead dog is close to the camera, which was held at dog level, and their shaggy coat is dripping from some time in the water nearby.

Happy troopers at dusk 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals

Outdoor shot at dusk with the dying light of the sun seen through dramatic clouds setting over a pond. On the near shore of the water three dogs run through the shallows, their bodies contorted in play.

Gowron and Blue touch grass 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals

Outdoor shot in bright sunlight under a hazy but still blue sky of two dogs walking towards the camera on the faintest of trails through the coastal scrub. They are bursting through some underbrush shoulder to shoulder, and both exude an air of happiness. To the left, a small, shaggy white dog with orange patches on their ears, back and butt; to the right a blue/gray dog with black patches on their ears and butt.

Bette and Ginger enjoy the water 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals

Outdoor shot in bright sunlight under a blue sky of a large pond. On the near shore a brown dog is moving quickly, obviously having just run out of the water, while another, shaggier brown dog looks like still up to their armpits near the shore. The opposite shore is thick with greenery and small trees.
