Event Details

This is a limited-edition event, and appointments are available by reservation only.

Sessions are designed for one pet at a time and focus on capturing your dog’s unique personality in a relaxed, fun environment.

Please arrive a few minutes early so your scheduled session can begin on time. Keep in mind that one dog will be leaving as another enters. We will do our best to coordinate this to limit crossing paths.

Giving Back

Every session helps support Desert Paws Sanctuary through donated pet food. Together, we can create beautiful memories while making a difference for dogs and cats still searching for loving homes.

Thank you for helping us make this year’s Dog Days of Summer a celebration of pets, community, and giving back.

Reserve Your Spot

Appointments are limited and are expected to fill quickly. Book your session today and help us make a difference—one portrait at a time.

Want to Do More?

Desert Paws Sanctuary also has an Amazon Wishlist. If you want to go above and beyond, you could help fulfill their wishes.*

Desert Paws Sanctuary Amazon Wishlist

*Purchasing from the Amazon Wishlist is not connected to the Dog Days of Summer Photo Food Drive and does not guarantee you entry into the event. The only way to enter the Food Drive event is by reserving your spot, donating a 30lb bag of food, and paying the $35 entry fee. Space is limited. Donating to the Amazon Wishlist would be a separate donation on behalf of Desert Paws Sanctuary.
