Beautiful and compelling portraits of 325 rescue dogs.

More than 7.5 million companion animals enter animal shelters in the United States and Canada every year. Of those, approximately 3.9 million are dogs. Maybe one-quarter of them will find a home because shelters are too full, there aren’t enough adoptive homes and, tragically, not all shelters operate under a no-kill policy.

Andrew Grant is a talented photographer known for his compelling portraits of dogs, as well as his fine art work. He has a unique ability to work with dogs to achieve one-of-a-kind portraits: a relaxed dog looking straight at the camera and exhibiting the poses and emotions for which we love our canine friends. All the canine portraits that fill this collection attest to the authentic connection Grant makes with each one of them.

Take Me Home! features 325 dogs. Each is either a rescue dog waiting for its forever home or a former rescue dog now enjoying its own family.

For dog lovers and animal lovers, and especially for the kind souls that take in a homeless animal, Take Me Home! is a poignant homage to every dog's beauty, personality and unstinting devotion. We owe it to all of them to return it.
