I was promised green, luscious, giant forests, and an idyllic place. Luvable was all that and more. We came all the way from New York to photograph some of the adoptable dogs Luvable had. And from the moment we pulled in front of a lovely cluster of adorable cottages, we knew this place was special. As soon as Liesl, Ashley and the team greeted us, we recognized the amount of love, care and dedication that went into building this safe haven. A breath of fresh air in animal rescue, a sanctuary where animals come to regain their strength, restore their faith in humanity, too. They do so in a comfortable, fairytale-like environment, and guided by some of the kindest, most knowledgeable hands and spirits I have met in animal welfare. I truly had a wonderful time working with Luvable and their animals.
