Primary Research
As part of my research for the dogs trust brief I visited a rescue centre to get some idea of the sort of stories that these dogs have to tell. The centre that I went to were happy for me to take some photographs of the dogs that I went to visit so I collaborated with some photographers who helped me to photograph the couple of dogs which I met.
I also learnt a bit about the dogs while I was there as I thought it would be interesting to get an idea of the sort of stories that the dogs in these centres come with. This is what made me really realise that I wanted to highlight the fact that with a rescue dog you are gaining a friend as you are spending time with a dog that already has a personality and a story to tell.
The first dog that I photographed was a little white and brown Staffy (Staffordshire Bull Terrier) called Roxy. Roxy was an interesting little dog as she was both male and female. She was more female so she was having an operation to make her fully female. Her personality was like a typical Staffy, she was extremely giddy and friendly. She had a big smile, likes playing and loves cuddles. Her previous owners struggled to look after her so the vets signed her over. She had been at the centre since the 9th of December but had found new owners.

The second dog was called Lexi and she was a mini Schnauzer. She was 8 years old and was at the centre because her previous owner had passed away. She was having treatment as she unfortunately had a poorly leg. She was extremely gentle and very timid but was the perfect companion. She had been at the centre for 2 days when we met her.
