Photographer Named Among Top 25 Pet People
NBC UNIVERSAL’S PETSIDE.COM NAMES “TOP 25 PET PEOPLE OF 2010”
Pet Photographer Richie Schwartz included On List of Extraordinary Newsmakers, With Emmy-Award Winners, Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah Winfrey, and Betty White Rounding Out The List.
PRESS RELEASE
New York, NY (December 21, 2010) – As 2010 comes to an end, Petside.com the preeminent site for pet owners and pet enthusiasts, has released its first-ever list of the “Top 25 Pet People of 2010”. The list, which includes both unsung heroes and celebrity activists such as Ellen DeGeneres, Elayne Boosler, Oprah Winfrey and Betty White, is led by one extraordinarily generous dermatologist from Denver, Colorado, Dr. Leslie Capin, who donated $1 million in contest winnings to several local animal shelters.
“Whether it was organizing efforts to help animals in Haiti, rescuing 100 beagles from a bankrupt testing lab in New Jersey, or photographing homeless animals for adoption, so many pet-lovers raised awareness and donated resources for the benefit of pets everywhere,” said Wendy Toth, Editor of Petside.com. “Petside’s list recognizes these extraordinary people and their effect on the pet community.”
Petside based the rankings on the individual’s impact on the welfare of pets, the public profile of pets in need and on their ability to inspire others to action. Ranging from public figures to everyday citizens, animal-loving tweens and reformed bad-boys, Petside.com’s “Top 25 Pet People of 2010” runs the gamut of headline-making newsmakers.
Included on the list are:
Leslie Capin – Won $1 million in cute dog contest and gave it to shelters.
Ellen DeGeneres – Donated 5,000 meals from her pet food company to a pet food bank.
Cathy King, DVM – Founder of World Vets; deployed a team to help pets in Haiti.
Elayne Boosler - Despite the down economy, her nonprofit provided dozens of grants to rescue groups.
Matt DeAngelis – Helped organize rescue of over 100 beagles from bankrupt testing lab.
Oprah Winfrey– Publicized her adoption of two dogs from a Chicago no-kill shelter.
Richie Schwartz -Celebrity Pet Photographer offers free services to animal shelters and rescue groups.
Mike Arms – Creator of Iams® Home 4 The Holidays which set its highest goal ever this year.
Betty White – Posed with hunks for a 2011 wall calendar and donated royalties to a shelter.
Paula Abdul – Spokeswoman for the American Humane Association’s Pets and Women’s Shelters Program.

Pet Photographer Helps Shelter Rescue Dogs Get Adopted
I had a Pet Photo Day at a local Pet Supplies “Plus” store recently and there was a dog and cat rescue group celebrating the opening of their new facility within the store. The store owner had generously donated a large portion of his property to construct an area to house kittens and cats that have been rescued from the street and from other shelters. The name of the rescue group is Forgotten Friends of Long Island. and they have a Facebook page here: Forgotten Friends on Facebook
They had also brought with them, several rescued dogs that live in foster homes while waiting to be adopted. They don’t have room to house the dogs, so some volunteers with very big hearts become foster “parents” to these animals that would have otherwise been euthanized.
I asked the Coordinator of their Foster/Rescue Dog Program, if I could donate some of my time and take pictures of the foster dogs which could then be used on their web site. I hadn’t seen their web site or the pictures of the dogs on it, but I have seen other rescue sites and I know what the pictures usually look like. It is a known fact that the better the picture, the better the chances are that a dog will get adopted. Even without having seen the pictures they were using on their web site,I was sure that I could improve upon them, even with the limited set up I had to work with at the time.
Take a look at the pictures, maybe you would like to adopt one or perhaps you know someone who might like to. Please get in touch with Forgotten Friends of Long Island.
If you are a shelter or rescue organization in Connecticut, New York City or on Long Island, I am available to do the same thing for your organiztion.
Here are the “before” and “after” pictures:
The top row photos were taken by the rescue group’s volunteers. The rest are photos of the same dogs, taken by me.
