One Picture Saves a Life Tour Heads to Charlotte, NC

He’s gained fame by capturing the cuteness of canines with his camera, and on November 1st Seth Casteel (Underwater Dogs, Underwater Puppies) will focus the attention of those with a passion for compassion on ways to help homeless animals when the One Picture Saves a Life tour heads to Charlotte, North Carolina.

The day of dogged devotion for our four-legged friends will include both Casteel’s tutorial for taking good shelter photos and a presentation by Jorge Bendersky, celebrity dog stylist/former star of Animal Planet’s Groomer Has It, who will offer tips for transforming a canine with unkempt fur into a pooch that’s picture perfect.

As 73 percent of all pet adoptions begin with an online search, the One Picture Saves a Life workshop aims to help both the public and shelter staff increase awareness of shelter animals by showing adorable adoptables in their best light.

Admission: Free (Registration available online.)

When: November 1, 2014 A presentation for the public will take place from 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.; a workshop for shelter staff and volunteers will be held from 12:30 p.m. – 4 p.m.

Where: According to The Charlotte Observer, the morning session for the public will be conducted at the Charlotte Police and Fire Training Academy at 1770 Shopton Road; shelter staff and volunteers will gather at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Animal Care and Control at 8315 Byrum Drive in Charlotte, North Carolina
