    Meet Tootsie 💛
    ⠀
    Surrendered by her owner, Tootsie arrived at Hinsdale Humane Society with little to no information about her past. That’s where we stepped in.
    ⠀
    Nicole, Administrative Manager at Hinsdale Humane Society, brought Tootsie to us and is part of this moment you’re seeing—helping us begin to understand who Tootsie really is.
    ⠀
    The See Hear Love Project is the only project that combines animal communication and professional photography—helping uncover each dog’s story and showing who they truly are.
    ⠀
    Now it’s Tootsie’s turn to be seen for exactly who she is 💫

    Avalanche didn’t start life this way.
    ⠀
    Rescued from a hoarding situation through @reddoorshelter, his world was once crowded, uncertain, and far from safe.
    ⠀
    But something beautiful happened—
    his foster saw him… and never let him go.
    ⠀
    Avalanche is now home.
    ⠀
    ⠀
    Seen. Heard. Loved.

    Meet Blanca.
    Rescued, but still learning how to feel safe again.
    During her animal communication session, Blanca shared a feeling of being abandoned in the rain—until Michelle, her foster mom, found her and brought her to safety.
    “I’m scared… but I’m trying.”
    She’s waiting for someone to show her she’s finally home.
    Blanca and other incredible animals are available for adoption at SAYv Animal Organization (@sayvanimalorg).

    This is Part 2 of Ramona’s story from The See Hear Love Project™ — a Chicago-based initiative combining animal communication and fine-art photography to help foster animals be seen, heard, and adopted.
    Each session begins with an on-camera communication reading followed by a professional portrait session, allowing foster animals to connect with potential adopters through emotion and storytelling.
    Ramona’s message is part of a larger mission to bring visibility to animals waiting for homes and to highlight the life-saving power of fostering.
