Giving Back
Giving back to help save lives
Photography is a powerful tool
As a dedicated animal advocate, I strongly believe in giving back, particularly when it comes to assisting pets in need. Over the years, I've been intimately involved in rescuing both dogs and horses – pet advocacy is a fundamental part of who I am. This commitment naturally extends to my photography work. In recent years, I've made it a priority to dedicate a portion of my time and resources to volunteering my photography services to aid dogs in need.
As a passionate animal lover and professional photographer, there's immense satisfaction in capturing stunning portraits of rescue dogs. Whether highlighting their unique personalities, their moments of joy, or the challenges they may face, I'm honored to play a role in helping these dogs find their forever homes.
"It's not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving."
– Mother Teresa

Raising money for pet rescue around the world
Honored to have been selected as an official fundraising photographer for the Tails of the World book project
What is Tails of the World?
Tails of the World is a collaborative project from professional pet photographers all around the globe. We've united to help raise funds for pet rescue and spread joy with beautiful photography and heartwarming stories – all combined into a beautiful coffee table book.
100% of proceeds from the sales of the book will be donated to animal rescue. These books will be available to purchase worldwide.
In 2023 I photographed ten dogs from the Missoula area. The session fees from those shoots were donated to Montana Pittie Project. Each of those ten dogs will be featured in the Tails of the World Volume 2 book that will be released in March 2024. All sales proceeds of the book will be donated to Second Chance Animal Rescue.
As of the beginning of February 2024, Tails of the World Volume 2 has raised over $65,000 for rescue charities around the globe, W-O-W!!!!

A little about the rescue organizations that are close to my heart
I have been fortunate to work with some AH-MAZING breed rescues in Montana!
Montana Pittie Project
In 2022, I began a partnership with the Montana Pittie Project (MPP) and have been photographing their adoptable dogs in the Missoula area ever since. We will continue to work together to help each of these very special dogs find the perfect family to call their own.
In addition to being a volunteer photographer for MPP, I also selected their organization to receive the session fees from each of my Tails of the World Mini Sessions.
Great Pyrenees Rescue Montana
In 2023, I began a partnership with the Great Pyrenees Rescue, Montana (GPRMT) and am committed to photographing their adoptable dogs in the Missoula area.
Shannon volunteers her talents to showcase Montana Pittie Project rescue dogs, she works tirelessly donating her time and her amazing editing and promotional skills.
She has been instrumental in helping MPP reach more forever homes for our pups. Shannon’s talent in her beautiful photography is only eclipsed by her tremendously big heart for the dogs we hold so dear.
Thank you Shannon!
Renee Wayne
Director, Montana Pittie Project
Great Pyrenees Rescue Montana had the pleasure of encountering Shannon at PetFest in Missoula. From that meeting forward the incredible Photographer Shannon Edney has enriched the lives of many of our rescue dogs.
She first took outstanding individual photos for our website and Facebook, then she took it upon herself to create a gorgeous 2024 calendar featuring many of those dogs. To top that off she allowed us to market the calendars with the proceeds donated to our rescue!
Shannon’s love for animals is apparent in the caring work that she does to present them at their best. We are so very thankful for Shannon, her work and her generosity.

President, Great Pyrenees Rescue Montana
Shannon has been such a joy to work with~! She has elevated our efforts to get our rescue dogs seen on social media to a wider audience, while offering new ways to have quality products to add to our fundraising events that help our dogs in need.
She efficiently captures their beauty, intelligence, and personalities. Which has aided our adoptions greatly.
Thank you~!
