Original imagery
Twenty years of commercial and fashion lighting, pointed at rescue animals. Not phone snaps with a charity caption — work that stands next to your existing brand photography.
For brands & businesses
Cause marketing that
comes with the assets.
Fund a session for a rescue and you don't just get a thank-you and a logo placement. You get the photography — a licensed library of premium animal imagery your marketing team can actually use, of real animals you demonstrably helped.
Why this works
Most sponsorship buys
you a logo. This buys
you a campaign.
You were going to commission animal photography anyway, or licence it from a stock library where every competitor can buy the same frame. This costs comparable money, produces original work nobody else has, and puts your name on a genuinely good outcome.
A story with receipts
Named animals, a named rescue, a date, and in many cases an adoption that followed. Specific beats vague every time, and it's the part audiences actually share.
Distribution you don't pay for
The rescue posts the gallery to its own audience with your credit attached, the day after the shoot, at noon. Their followers are exactly the people who care.
What you get
Concretely.
- A licensed photo set from the shoot, cleared for your social, web, email and print use.
- Short-form vertical video from the session where time allows.
- Credit on every gallery and adoption post the shoot produces, from the rescue's own accounts.
- Your name on this site, on the shoot, and in anything we publish about it.
- Branded props where it fits — bandanas, a backdrop, a collar tag. Tasteful, or we won't do it.
- A straight report. Which animals, which rescue, what happened next.
Sponsorship
Three ways in.
Every level pays for real sessions and real animals. Pricing is built around your region and how many shoots you want to fund — tell us your budget and we'll tell you honestly what it covers.
Session sponsor
- Underwrites a single rescue session end to end
- Credit on every gallery and adoption post from that shoot
- Licensed photo set for your own channels
- Good first step if you've not done this before
Regional partner
- Recurring sessions with rescues in one metro area
- Named as the regional partner across all of it
- Branded props, bandanas or backdrop where appropriate
- An ongoing photo and short-video library, not a one-off
- Local press and community goodwill where you actually trade
National partner
- Multi-city sessions across Canada and the USA
- Headline credit on this site and every shoot
- Co-developed campaigns and custom shoot briefs
- First look at everything we produce
- Input on which regions we open next
Straight answers
Before you ask your
finance team.
Who actually shoots it? Kevin Sarasom — twenty years as a cinematographer and photographer, 15,000+ dogs photographed, brand activations for Mercedes-Benz, Saks Fifth Avenue and The Body Shop. More here.
Is this a charitable donation? No, and we won't pretend otherwise. Pet Rescue Portraits isn't a registered charity, so sponsorship is a marketing spend, not a tax-deductible gift. Most sponsors find that simpler to approve anyway.
What do the rescues pay? Nothing. That's the entire point — your money is what makes it free for them.
Can we approve the imagery before it's used? Yes. You see the set before anything goes out with your name on it.
What if we want a specific region? Tell us. Region is usually the first thing we plan around, and sponsors who name a city get matched fastest.
Can we do this as an event? Yes — a pop-up portrait studio at your store, showroom or activation, photographing rescue animals or customers' dogs. That's a format we've run many times.
