Meet Olti: Our Delightful Mini-Dachshund Puppy Star

At Candice C. Cusic Photography, we had the absolute pleasure of photographing Olti, an adorable Mini-Dachshund puppy who instantly stole our hearts with his playful antics and sweet expressions.

Whether he was chasing a favorite toy or exploring every corner, his boundless enthusiasm was contagious.

Our photos emphasize these iconic features, from his expressive eyes to his perky ears, making sure to capture the essence of his personality. We love highlighting the unique traits that make each Mini-Dachshund special, and Olti’s session was no exception.

    Chicago Pet Photographer

    Seen. Heard. Loved.

Candice C. Cusic has launched a powerful new project, The See Hear Love Project™, to spotlight the rising number of animals in Chicago shelters. In collaboration with local rescue groups, she’s 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 Cusic’s 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 fail—aka 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. 🐷❤️

    SEEN. HEARD. LOVED.
Last year, 3,380 dogs and cats were euthanized in Chicago.
During his animal communication session, Tater shared something quietly heartbreaking:
“Sometimes I worry people won’t like me. I worry if I’m good enough.”
His foster mom couldn’t hold back tears — because he is good enough. Every dog waiting for a home is.
October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, and Chicago’s shelters are beyond capacity.
The See Hear Love Project™ unites animal communication and fine-art photography to give foster animals a voice — so they can finally be seen, heard, and adopted.

Every foster animal has something to say.
Maggie’s animal communication session inspired the beginning of The See Hear Love Project™—and many more voices will follow.

    Dama may be in a wheelchair, but her spirit is unstoppable.

Through The See Hear Love Project™, her voice and her story are shared—so 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. We’re so grateful for your support in helping animals like Dama be seen, heard, and adopted. ❤️🐾

    This is Nala the cat. 🐾
Her reading wasn’t about adoption — it was about understanding.
Animal communication reveals what our pets are truly feeling.
Would you want to know what your cat is thinking?
    Something extraordinary is beginning.

The See Hear Love Project™ gives foster animals more than a portrait—it gives them a voice. Through animal communication and photography, their stories will finally be shared with the world.

    Meet Trixie — the very first foster animal to launch The See Hear Love Project™.

Rescued from Chicago Animal Care & Control and safe today thanks to @darkhorsedogs, Trixie opened her heart during her animal communication session and shared her wish: a forever family to love her gentle spirit.

Her story begins The See Hear Love Project — a movement that combines fine-art portraiture with animal communication to help foster animals be truly seen, heard, and adopted.

This October, in honor of National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, Trixie’s story highlights the countless foster animals still waiting to be adopted.

Follow along as more animals share their voices — and please share Trixie’s story to help her find her forever home.

    🐾 After Maggie’s first animal communication session, her words surprised us all.
But what she shared next was just as powerful…
This famous Chicago dog (@maggieandherdads )reminded us why animals deserve to be seen, heard, and loved. 
Her voice helped inspire The See Hear Love Project™ — a campaign giving foster animals a chance to tell their own stories through communication and fine-art portraiture.
Follow along to hear the voices of animals still waiting for a home.
