These Amazing Portraits are Helping Some Shelter Dogs to Get Adopted

Milly gets a seascape since she has affectionately earned the nickname "Milly the Mermaid" due to a disability that affects her back legs.

Holroyd posed him by his luggage because Costa is currently blind and hopes to be adopted by someone in the UK where he can have an operation to restore his sight.

Holroyd is going to release a book of each image later this year. Kayte Wilson-Smith, who runs the shelter entirely out of her pocket, is writing up a back story to go alongside each pup's portrait. All proceeds of course go to the shelter.

A lot of the dogs of Oroklini have had tough lives. Holroyd notes that "dogs are being dumped, beaten and tortured for absolutely no reason other than amusement."

Holroyd is calling his series the Bay Tree Project and is using the images to spread the story of these adorable shelter pups.
