Cynthia Smoot of Fox 13 Tampa Bay TV news crew recently interviewed Island photographer Jack Elka, dog rescuer Lisa Williams and Manatee County Animal Services chief Chris Weiskopf for a segment that is scheduled at Islander presstime to run Monday, Dec. 19.
The focus of the segment is a newly formed group, Picture Them Adopted. The group includes photographers and volunteer dog wranglers working together to photograph homeless, at-risk pets at animal services in an attractive setting to help find them permanent homes.
Picture Them Adopted is one of many efforts needed to help Manatee County achieve its goal of becoming a no-kill pet community.
