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.

🐾 What happens when a famous dog finally speaks?
When Chicago’s beloved Maggie (@maggieandherdads) had her first animal communication session, she surprised us all with a message about her family:
“They’re my boys too. They don’t belong to everyone.”
She was talking about her dads — claiming them as her own.
That moment became the spark for The See Hear Love Project™ — the first campaign to combine animal communication with fine-art portraiture to help foster animals be truly seen, heard, and loved.
Follow along to hear the voices of animals waiting for a home.

Tomorrow, the very first story drops — and it’s one you’ll never forget.
Follow along as we take the next step toward The See Hear Love Project™.

Blossom stole the show. She hit her mark like a champ and made her Chicago pet portrait session effortless. Sound ON to hear what I really sound like while taking dog photographs!
Someone asked who I was celebrating today, and I said, `Myself.` Most people wouldn`t say that, but it`s time we do. This video explores why celebrating yourself is important and why your accomplishments are worth honoring.
Who are you celebrating today?
