Winter doesn’t just bring snow and cold weather. With it also comes the festive season that many have been waiting for the whole year. Even though we often perceive Christmas merely as a holiday to give and receive gifts, spend time with our families and decorate our homes, it never hurts to include more meaning into the holiday. Such as using this special occasion to help others by giving back. If you take the time to look around, you’ll notice plenty of opportunities to do so and most of them are rather simple. For instance, buying a hilarious calendar for yourself or a loved one to help out puppies in need. Sounds lovely, doesn’t it?

“A handful of people were throwing around fundraising ideas and I said I could shoot a calendar (I’m a full time Newborn and Family photographer). Someone mentioned something about dad bods and another Board Member (Founder, Stacy Perkins) said Dad Bods & Rescue Dogs and I was instantly sold on the idea!” she told Bored Panda.

I mentioned during their session if he’d be willing to model and we did it right then and there after their family photos!” she said.

“Our mission is to rescue as many brachycephalic (short snout) dogs as we can from the commercial breeding system, rehabilitate them, and adopt them into loving forever homes so they can experience the spoiled pet life after spending their first years being bred. We focus on English Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Pugs, Boston Terriers, and other short-nosed breeds we like to call the smushie faces. All our dogs are fostered in the homes of volunteers who work hard to gain the dogs’ trust and teach them that positive human interaction is possible while also maintaining medical care and sometimes dealing with dogs with special needs,” Wright told us.
