When it comes to using creativity to get pups adopted, The Humane Society of Utah wins paws down! Remember the quirky video of dogs and a cat enjoying a typical holiday dinner? All the animals featured in the video were shelter pups from the Humane Society of Utah.

They are also well-known for their beautiful photo-booth style pup pictures. And the photographer behind it all? Guinnevere Shuster, a professional pet photographer who, through her photography, is helping these shelter dogs get adopted!

We included their shelter bios to show you how well the pics capture the dogs’ personality!

1. Rupert (Adopted)

“Curious and clever, RUPERT is eager to learn and please AND find a family of his own! This 3 year old Pit Bull Terrier mix came to The Humane Society of Utah from a another shelter so his history is a mystery, but we can tell you RUPERT seems to get along well with other dogs and LOVES people to the moon and back.”

2. Sally (Adopted)
