Picture this: Your dog posing quietly on the beach for a picture or your cat doing anything you actually want them to do. It can happen. Andrea Benson Richard has a way with animals. Pet portraits on the beach or on the couch are a wonderful way to picture the special something you see in your four-legged friend. By popular demand, each pet portrait Andrea takes is automatically posted here on the Pet Portrait wall too. A fun way to share and compare with friends and family!

Pets bring so much joy and laughter to our lives; it's hard to believe that so many are without a loving home. These pampered pets are lucky. Many have been rescued from local animal shelters and are now living wonderful lives with their new families. Support your local shelter. Here’s a link to our favorite: Alaqua Animal Rescue
