It's hard to find someone who doesn't love a photo booth—and we're willing to bet it's even harder to find someone who doesn't love an adorable dog in a photo booth. The Humane Society of Utah has recently been working with photographer Guinnevere Shuster to capture candid photo booth-style shots of its too-cute pooches—a strategy it's hoping will pay off by getting more of their canines adopted by loving families.Using treats to grab their attention, the often hilarious images show off the dogs' personalities better than standard catalog images, proving that far from being damaged goods, these shelter dogs are playful and full of character: Don't call Russo an old man yet, this 7 year old #lab mix is really just a big puppy at heart!

Instead of taking the usual mournful pictures of dogs in their pens, social-media coordinator Guinnevere Shuster, who took the photos, thought about how to make the animals more appealing to potential adopters. “I was hoping that it would help change people’s options and perceptions of shelter dogs. Showing off the individual personalities of the dogs, instead of the sad ‘behind bars’ images that have become associated with shelter animals,” she tells TIME.

We are already set to break that record this year … We definitely attribute this photo campaign as a large part of this success, as they capture the unique personality of each animal,” she tells TIME.

The American Blue Gascon Hound is a very intelligent dog. They are usually best with older children, but can also do well with younger ones. Some can be a bit dog-aggressive if the owner is not a strong leader relaying the message to the dog that is unacceptable behavior. Owners need to be this dog’s firm, confident and consistent pack leader in order to bring out the best in him.

Socialize well, preferably while still young, to avoid them from becoming reserved with strangers. The American Blue Gascon Hound is a passionate hunter and should not be trusted with non-canine pets. This breed is extremely alert, attentive, and able to work over difficult terrain in bad weather. Raccoons inhabit all states and provinces in the US mainland and Canada, and have for centuries been pursued by hunters. Each year, hundreds of licensed night trials take place. Each trial lasts approximately three hours and involves three to four dogs. Points are given according to the dog's ability to find, trail and tree a raccoon. Points are lost for treeing game other than raccoons. Each dog has a unique "voice" which its owners usually can recognize. The American Blue Gascon Hound does not have a normal sounding bark, but rather a loud bay cry that almost sounds like a short howl. American Blue Gascon Hounds are curious and have a tendency to follow their noses. If they pick up a scent they may wander off and not even hear you calling them back, or not care to listen, as they will be too busy trying to find the critter at the other end.

Take care when letting them off leash that you are in a safe area. The American Blue Gascon Hound has extremely good eyesight, which allows it to work well at night. The American Blue Gascon Hound excels in these trials. They can also be used to track fox or even cougar. The American Blue Gascon Hound has a fearless and warrior-like approach to the hunt. This breed may drool or slobber. Height: 25 - 30 inches (63 - 76 cm) Weight: 50 - 90 pounds (22 - 41 kg) The American Blue Gascon Hound is not recommended for apartment life. They are relatively inactive indoors and will do best with at least a large yard. Do not let this breed run free off of its lead unless in a safe, secure area. Coonhounds have a tendency to follow their noses, and if they catch wind of a scent, they may wander off for hours following it. Daily vigorous exercise is needed, which includes a long, brisk daily walk. Coonhounds that do not receive enough mental and physical exercise may become high strung and even destructive.
