PROJECT PET PORTRAITS

Savage Supports Animal Rescue & Welfare

According to the ASPCA, approximately 6.3 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year.⁽¹⁾ One central cause we’re committed to is providing support for animal shelter, rescue and hospital organizations across the U.S. to help save lives of abandoned or stray animals in need of rehabilitation and permanent homes. By sponsoring and donating to these organizations annually, as well as offering aid to volunteer workers and photographers to enhance adoption photos through use of professional photography gear, Savage is proud to stand behind those in our industry who similarly share this view.

Thank you for everything you do by donating your amazing seamless backdrops to photographers & shelters/rescues! I absolutely love Savage seamless paper and use bright colors when photographing the shelter pets to help get them more attention. The cats are where we have been able to make a HUGE difference.

We LOVE using brightly colored seamless paper to help draw attention to the animals right away. The seamless paper is so easy to travel with, set up and if there are any accidents on it we simply cut that part off and unroll some fresh paper!

Thank you so very much for this opportunity to provide an additional roll of your amazing seamless backdrop paper so I can continue helping the Humane Society of Otter Tail County as well as other local shelters in need.

Project Pet Portraits

An animal in a crowded shelter relies heavily on its published adoption photo to help save its life, and an eye-catching, high-quality portrait taken by a professional photographer truly makes all the difference. Capturing the unique personalities of the animals and allowing the focus of the photo to remain on them, instead of a cluttered or distracting background, is a crucial task and we believe those extra-special photographers who choose to donate their professional services for this deserve support.

Project Pet Portraits is our community campaign to match volunteer photographers with a professional studio background for adoption day photo shoots and special shelter events. If YOU are a professional photographer who volunteers at a local animal rescue organization and are in need of a clean, colorful seamless paper backdrop to enhance your portraits, we’d love to hear from you. Please submit a request below to our marketing team, and we will contact you if you are selected for a one-time Savage seamless paper backdrop donation.
