At Licked! Pet Photography, we’re all about celebrating every pet—whether they’re waiting for a forever home or already surrounded by love. Our goal is to use the power of photography to shine a light on the incredible personalities of shelter and rescue animals, helping them find their perfect match.

Through our lens, we hope to spark connection and inspire a deeper appreciation for all animals. With the support of amazing sponsors, we’re on a mission to make a real difference, one stunning image at a time. Come along for the ride as we uplift pets and the communities that care for them, creating brighter futures and unforgettable moments along the way.

How Your Support Helps

Sponsorship options are flexible—you can support a specific organization or back our mission as a whole.

Each week, we photograph animals in need, while also dedicating time to crucial behind-the-scenes work: editing photos, creating social media content, and ensuring these animals connect with potential adopters.

When possible, we take long-term shelter residents out for a special day of fun and photos, capturing the personalities that cages can’t show. This extra care can be transformative, helping them finally get the notice they deserve.


Why It Matters

Your support ensures we can continue saying “yes” to every request within our region, helping more animals find homes and share their stories with loving families. Learn more about the impact of sponsorships in Bridging the Gap.

We’re proud of the work Licked! Pet Photography is doing and can’t wait to keep engaging with the community and making tails wag—one photo at a time.

"Your photos have helped. Our dogs are flying out this week."

"Someone that saw your post about Onyx today is coming in tomorrow to foster him ❤️❤️"

"Licked! Pet Photography works miracles! Blake's photos found him the PERFECT home in the northeast. After 315 days in a shelter and 68 in foster, his life changed with one share. Blake is now living the pool life, thanks to Licked! Pet Photography. Highly recommend for transforming pets' lives!"

"Licked Pet Photography, thank you so much! Your pictures made me seek him out and make him mine, and I’m forever grateful! I’m the happiest person ever. As a retiree, we’re together all the time, and I feel like I won the lottery! ❤️❤️❤️"

I don’t work in the trenches, and I don’t claim to—honestly, I know I couldn’t do it. But what I can do is contribute to second chances in my own way. Through photography, I help animals stand out, connect with adopters, and get the visibility they deserve. It’s my way of contributing to the incredible work that shelters and rescues do every day. These people are the true heroes!💖
