'A Day in the Life' Project 2012

Photography exhibits focus on the relationship homeless have with their animals.

Street youth and their allies capture through photography the bond with their animals culminating in an exhibition of color photographs. See a portfolio of images here...

With a disposable camera and some guidance from mentors and professional photographers, the participants created photographs during an extended workshop conducted by Art for Animals’ Sake (AFAS). These images reveal the relationships, environments and the greater community the homeless and their allies share with animals. More detalls and background on the project here...

"Empowering youth to explore creative expression while building a more compassionate community."

This exhibition was proudly created in association with Peace for the Streets by Kids from the Streets and with participation of residents from Nickelsville, Seattle.

Introducing the 'Believe in All Dogs' Campaign!

All dogs deserve a chance to have happy and healthy lives. Breed discrimination is on the rise as many governments pass breed-specific legislation restricting dogs that have characteristics fitting certain body types of those deemed 'dangerous' to people.

Send in your photos!

We have created a portfolio of our loving dogs to shatter preconceptions, celebrate our kind companions and to protest breed-specific legislation.
