A few weeks ago I met up with three volunteers from Secondhand Hounds, a local rescue organization based in Minnetonka. We chatted, played, and took some photos for them to use at their silent auction event coming up this Saturday. In less than one year, Secondhand Hounds has had over 270 dogs come through their organization, which is an absolutely astounding feat! If you happen to be friends with them on Facebook, you know that SHH is a 24/7 job for Rachel Mairose who truly puts her heart and soul into helping these animals in need.

I had a tremendous amount of fun working with these ladies and encourage everyone to check out their silent auction at Braemer Golf Course in Edina on Saturday evening, for food, drinks, music, and of course your chance to win a session with Lucky Mutt Photography while helping a great organization! If you can’t make it to the event you can still bid on the auction items through 7pm Saturday evening by visiting 32auctions.com, entering “SHHAuction” as the Auction ID and “helpdogs” as the Auction Password. If you aren’t outbid at the event, you’re the big winner!
