ALT A brown and white pittie pup sits alone behind a grate. Over him there’s text that reads: “July 5th is the busiest day for shelters across the country.”
ALT a small scruffy black dog with long bushy brown eyebrows, brown beard, and brown paws sits on a speckled cement ground in front of a yellow brick wall. the pup is looking over at us with a cardboard sign hanging from their mouth, their pearly white teeth exposed in a little smile. the little protestor's cardboard sign reads, "puppies against fireworks."
ALT a tan and white basset hound is lying on his back on a tile floor and looking up at the camera. one of his short little front legs is tucked in to his body, and his long brown ears flop straight up like flat bunny ears in contrast. with gravity’s assistance, his skin is falling back in cute little puddles, leaving a thick wrinkle behind his back, some cheerful jowls pulled into a smile, and the whites of his eyes visible for possibly the first time.
ALT a tiny brown bully breed puppy sits on an animal patterned fleece blanket. she's looking directly at the camera with blue eyes, a wide front leg stance to support herself upright, and a white patch of fur on her chest.
ALT the bully has grown quite a bit, but is obviously still a puppy. the chocolate colored pup sits on the bottom step of a 4-step stair leading to a house. her head is tilted and her large ears stick out of either side of her head. her eyes have turned into a light hazel color in brilliant contrast with her fur. and her skin has created adorable little rolls where her body bends.
ALT Vicky the pup sits on an exam table in a vet's office. she looks alarmed, but she can't help it with her large ears and wide, round eyes. she's in good hands though as a vet tech in gray scrubs stands next to the table and wraps their arms around Vicky in a gentle embrace.

ALT carlton, a tiny, black, orange and white chihuahua terrier mix sits nervously in someone's arms with a big, doe-eyed expression. his paws hang over the hands that hold him.
ALT little carlton peers through a closed cage. in it is a plush, pink dog bed.
ALT carlton is being fed with a baby bottle like the little baby he is.
ALT a small fuzzy brown dog with a short black snout and black tipped ears stands on a polka dot blanket and sniffs timidly toward the camera. a person wearing purple gloves is holding on to her as they listen to her chest with a stethoscope.
ALT little cricket stands in profile with some support from a human in a white t-shirt with purple gloves. her body is brown and black with little wisps of fur along the tips of her ears and bottom of her belly. her rear legs are bowed backwards and underdeveloped. she’s turning to face the camera as if waiting for your approval or help.
ALT a reddish brown bully dog with a wrinkly snoot lays in a steel vet kennel. the pup weakly peers at us through shiny metal bars, with droopy jowls and her pink tongue poking out of her mouth.
ALT a fluffy, white pomeranian is wearing a soft, blue cone and her front left leg is wrapped in orange bandage. she's being held by a vet tech wearing a blue clothes covering. the senior pup stares directly at the camera with dark, round, eyes with a hint of cataracts, and her pink tongue hangs out the side of her mouth.
ALT a pitiful pit mix sits on a scrap of cardboard in a cluttered shop. her eyes are half closed, her fur filthy, and her ears cropped short. she has a heavy chain hanging from her collar that binds her to a paint-stained cabinet with the word “Valiant” on the front in white letters. a precarious pile of tires is stacked up behind her.
ALT a very sad pitty pup is laying on one side and looking up at the camera with bloodshot eyes. her forehead is creased in concern or discomfort, and a human leans over her to hold her paws as a ray of warm sunlight shines down on her belly.
ALT pancakes rests on a very fluffy brown bed, her chin resting on her front paws. her toes are still pink and very swollen. the left side of her face presses up a bit as her jowl flops over top of her toes.
ALT a small white maltese pup is resting his head on a blue pillow. he's got an I.V. connected to his paw and the tube trails out of frame. he's tucked in with a red blanket, and his eyes are heavy.
ALT we're looking through one end of a CT machine, Dio, the maltese pup, is framed through the circle on the other side. a vet tech in blue scrubs supports him on the scanning bed as he prepares to have a body scan to determine if his liver shunt is operable.
ALT a shelter employee is holding Dio, who is wrapped in a blue, badger print blanket, in their arms. the employee's head is tilted down so their face is gently pressing against Dio's face, which is angled, and his front paws stick out of the blanket and hang limp in a way that expresses how relaxed and grateful he is to have been rescued.
ALT a light brown and white pitbull mix sits patiently and looks at the camera with calm, sad eyes, ears flopping out and down. her skin is pink and raw on her legs and belly, and it wrinkles all over her body where she is too thin. she’s wearing a bright red harness that’s too big for her.
ALT a tiny black maltese puppy is held aloft by a pair of blue-gloved hands. he almost looks like a ball of fluff, but his little pink belly gives him away. he has a tiny bit of wet food on his mouth, and his eyes are closed.
ALT Bear, the maltese puppy, lays on a tiny tan cushion with a white towel wrapped around him like a wall. he is connected to I.V. tubes and fighting hard.
ALT Bear is now using all his strength and sitting upright on his own. he has a bandage around his neck holding the I.V. connection in place. there's a pair of gloved hands cupped just under his head, ready to catch him if he falls.
