About 3,300 shelter dogs are euthanized every day in the U.S., and shelter dog adoption ads often depict them as sad, helpless creatures (think Sarah McLachlan's tearjerkers for the ASPCA, which show miserable dogs staring forlornly through the bars of cages). But animal activist and photographer Guinnevere Shuster is on a mission to change that, helping shelter dogs find homes by taking fun, happy portraits showing them in their best light.

Shuster is the latest philanthropist featured in Canon's "Rebel With a Cause" campaign, named for Canon's Rebel camera, that started last year and spotlights various causes.
