2012 Pit Bull Model Search » Marcia Leeder Photography Blog - [...] we are making headway around the world and even here in Ontario, in respect to repealing the ban on pit bull type dogs under the Breed Specific Legislature (BSL), [...]

Fran C. - Fabulous pictures Marcie. Would it be possible to thank the Support Hersheys Group for putting on the rally and mentioning the web site? The more people we have going to the web site and joing the cause the stronger we become in this fight for justice and equal rights in Ontario

Liz - Hi Marcia,

You photos are amazing and capture the spirit of the rally in a very precious and visual way. One can only appreciate the heart to have for our dogs, and the awareness your create by your positive profiling of them ulitizing your gifted talent.

Thank you for covering the rally and bringing to life those special moments captured so beautifully for all to see.

Warm Regards

tara enever - Marcia, such great photos of three gorgeous pups. I shared this link on my FB profile … I hope Lulu finds her forever home soon! Kudos to Kristie Sullens and NOLA Lab Rescue and you! : )

Carol Haynes - Love love the pics Marcia! You definately captured the personality of all those pups! Love the pics of Pam with pups as well!

Pam - Duke’s new name is Jackson!

Pam - Duke found his forever home tonight! He’ll be joining his family on Sunday and I couldn’t be happier for him. I know they’ll give him all the love he needs. Now I just need two more GREAT families for LuLu and Riker.

Kristie Sullens - Hi my name is Kristie Sullens w/Save-An-Angel. I’m the one who found these adorable pups at the shelter. They were stuck in a back corner with no sunlight and no one to love them. It was heart breaking and our team agreed that we had to get them out of there. We called NOLA Lab Rescue and they agreed to take the pups, all we had to do was get them vetted & fostered, before they hitched a ride to Canada. At first I was nervous, we’d never transported dogs out of the country. Plus, they are so precious that it was almost impossible to let go.

NOLA Lab rescue was amazing, and they patiently walked us through each step. All of the dogs did awesome at the vet. They are beyond cute during playtime. Always happy and able to keep themselves entertained. Seeing these INCREDIBLE photographs and knowing how much love they’re receiving warms my heart. These puppies are SO sweet, SO cute & SO lovable – they deserve every bit of good that is coming their way. PLEASE SHARE THESE PUPPIES WITH YOUR FRIENDS!! They will make excellent companions and any pack will be lucky to have them. :) Thank you Marcia for taking the time to photograph and network these dogs. You are truly talented and we’re forever grateful for your kindness. Looking forward to happy updates soon!! xoxoxox

Pam - Marcia – The pictures are amazing!! Thank you so much for taking the time to meet the pups. You are awesome!

Linda - Gorgeous pictures! Wonderful NOLA, Pam and their puppers!!

Sarah - Oh Marcia! They are so cute!
Love Riker’s dirt face.

joanna - Beautiful pics of the Nola pups~ hope you find your forever homes soon.

Kristen - Love, love, love these puppies!! They will make great additions to any family! Thank you Pam, NOLA, and Save-An-Angel for helping!!
