heiney has added a photo to the pool:

Adopt Buffy, and Fluffy too, they were found together as strays and are really cool little guys.

Also I'd like to share a couple of e-mails I have received recently from two of the rescue groups we have shot for, the first one is from Animal Network - Las Vegas:

"Hi Mike,
We are likely to place 4-5 dogs this week and most of the leads came off of our petfinder account. I think it is because of the great pictures you took that we put on petfinders. Thanks so much for all that you do"

This next one is from German Shepherd Rescue - Las Vegas:

"I can't thank you enough for all your help. I really think that they work.
PLUS, over the weekend we got sponsorships for 8 dogs!!!
And, I really think that's it's the pictures that grab the peoples' eyes. :)
SO, thank you a WHOLE bunch!"

I had read that shelter dogs with better photos have a better shot at adoption, but I never really expected to get tangible proof, Imagine how good it would be if I knew WTF I was doing...
