“We could all use a smile right now, and this photoshoot is just what the doctor ordered. The adoptable pets featured are beautiful, happy, and healthy, and all they wish for is a family of their own,” said Cassady Caldwell, the executive director at Stray Rescue of St. Louis in PEOPLE.

“It’s special to know that our work might bring more attention to dogs and cats that deserve a second chance at a happy and comfortable life.  And if we can bring a smile to people’s faces at the same time, all the better!” Kelly Pratt said in a statement.
