Taking photos of pets on Instagram is a great way to bring out the personality of your dog or cat. In this comparision of 9 Instagram filters I feature a shelter pup named Lady Belle at PalsForever.org. She is a Weimaraner with amazing eyes and the softest velvet gray coat. I like the results with all the filters I tried, but I think my fave is the Amaro filter. Share your favorite filter with Lady Belle the Weimaraner in the comments. (Belle is a rescue dog available for adoption at this animal rescue.)
Instagram Filters and Pets
By playing around with the Instagram filters you can enhance the color of your dog's fur and eyes. I like to try several options before picking the filter to use. Think about the mood the filter creates too. If you want to make the photo warmer try the Rise filter or the Earlybird filter. If you want to bring out the dreamy mood, try the Sierra Filter or the Sierra Filter.
Lady Bella the Weimaraner
The adorable dog mix featured above is Lady Belle. If she is still available for adoption, you can find her at this animal rescue and on Petfinder Adoptable Dog: Lady Belle, Weimaraner.
Use Instagram to Help Shelter Dogs Find Homes
If you like to take photos, grab your iPhone and stop by your local animal shelter. Snap some cute pics of the adoptable dogs with Instagram. Then post them on Facebook and Twitter and Pinterest with a link to the animal shelter. If you can, please include a search-able hashtag with the breed of dog (eg., #lab or #dachshund) and then also add a hashtag with #adopt_dogs. You can even add text to the photo with apps like InstaText.
IMAGE: The original no filter image of Lady Belle is by her foster mom. The instagram images were done by me, Chris Olson using an iPhone 4 + Instagram. Feel free to Pin them on Pinterest with a link back to this post. Thanks!
