13th Annual Dog Days of Summer Mini Session Fundraiser
2026 Dog Days of Mini Session Sign-ups are Now Open!
Muschlitz Photography is excited to host our 13th Annual Dog Days of Summer (Dog-Friendly) Mini Sessions to benefit the local non-profit, Friends of the Shelter!
📅 Sessions will be held on Saturday & Sunday, June 27th & 28th in our air-conditioned studio in Columbus, Ohio near Polaris Mall.
🎉 $25 from every session will be donated to Friends of the Shelter to help sick and injured dogs at the Franklin County Dog Shelter to get well and find their forever homes!
This year’s theme celebrates the 4th of July and sweet treats with two playful backdrops:
🇺🇸 Red, White, and Woof - a fun patriotic set celebrating America’s 250th birthday
🍭 Lolli-pup Delight - a bright, colorful candy-inspired set complete with rainbow lollipops for dogs to enjoy
The sessions are designed primarily for dogs and their people, with the focus being on fun personality-filled portraits for the pups!

About Friends of the Shelter
Friends of the Shelter is an all-volunteer, 501c3 non-profit organization established to fund the medical care of the sick and injured dogs at the Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center. The Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center is funded by the county budget and from funds generated through fees, such as dog licenses. However, these sources of funding are not sufficient to provide medical care for the shelter dogs that need more than basic services. The Friends of the Shelter was formed in 2003 to save these sick or injured--but otherwise adoptable--dogs so they can be adopted into loving, forever families.
