Every week thousands of abandoned dogs and cats are picked up from city streets and put into shelters, where they wait for people to adopt them. Those lucky enough to find a home leave the kennels within a couple of days; those who do not are euthanized.
In "Kill Shelter Portraits", photographer Mark Ross turns an unflinching eye on the unfortunate animals stranded at New York's 110th Street kill shelter. With a portion of proceeds going to support shelters that do not kill their animals, "Kill Shelter Portraits" provides deeply compassionate and haunting portraits of our furred friends.
