Seen. Heard. Loved.
Candice C. Cusic has launched a powerful new project, The See Hear Love Projectā¢, to spotlight the rising number of animals in Chicago shelters. In collaboration with local rescue groups, sheās giving a voice to animals who deserve a second chance and a loving home.
This one-of-a-kind initiative combines the art of animal communication with Cusicās renowned photography to help each animal be seen, heard, and ultimately adopted. Follow along to meet them and discover their stories.
Since the filming of this video, Ramona has officially become a proud foster failāaka ADOPTED! She now spends her days living her best life with her mom April, her dad, and five pig siblings, soaking up all the love, snacks, and belly rubs she could ever dream of. š·ā¤ļø

SEEN. HEARD. LOVED.
Last year, 3,380 dogs and cats were euthanized in Chicago.
During his animal communication session, Tater shared something quietly heartbreaking:
āSometimes I worry people wonāt like me. I worry if Iām good enough.ā
His foster mom couldnāt hold back tears ā because he is good enough. Every dog waiting for a home is.
October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, and Chicagoās shelters are beyond capacity.
The See Hear Love Project⢠unites animal communication and fine-art photography to give foster animals a voice ā so they can finally be seen, heard, and adopted.

Dama may be in a wheelchair, but her spirit is unstoppable.
Through The See Hear Love Projectā¢, her voice and her story are sharedāso she can be truly seen, heard, and adopted.
Thank you @sayvanimals for giving her the chance she deserves. Thank you @salvageone for welcoming us to photograph Dama in your beautiful space. She was a little nervous Nelly that day, so we finished her session in the studio. Weāre so grateful for your support in helping animals like Dama be seen, heard, and adopted. ā¤ļøš¾
