Senior Stars Say Cheese! "JCPenney Pet Portraits" Showcases Senior Dogs Available for Adoption


JCPenney Portraits by Lifetouch has captured all the perfect images - couples posed for holiday cards, kids grinning from ear to ear, friends reuniting again and a JCPenney favorite: four-legged family members. Just as much as America's hardworking families love to shop for their pets, JCPenney loves when they come in for a fresh photo opp. And this month, JCPenney is making it easier than ever for customers to make photo-worthy memories with their furry friends and giving adoptable dogs a much-deserved moment in the spotlight.

Beginning Jan. 24, Change a Pet's Life Day, JCPenney is partnering with pet shelters across America to help senior dogs find their "furever" homes...starting with capturing their own photo sessions at JCPenney Portraits by Lifetouch!

"As a brand focused on supporting families on every occasion, we care about the memories our customers create with their furry family members too," said Bill Cunningham, vice president of marketing strategy at JCPenney. "We're excited to give the senior dogs in these shelters, who are often less likely to be adopted, their chance to shine and encourage customers to get involved with their local communities to change a pet's life for the better."

The oldest - er, wisest - dogs from the shelters listed below will make their big debut on jcp.com/jcppetportraits Jan. 24 - Feb. 28, where local customers can visit their shelter's link to view their adoptable senior stars and all other available dogs. JCPenney is also donating $1,000 to each shelter and providing shelters with a $500 JCPenney gift card for supplies like towels, blankets, cleaning equipment and of course, pet bowls and beds, to help their future furry friends! Customers can also purchase items like these to donate to their local shelters and help even more dogs in need.



"We're grateful for community partners taking initiatives like that of JCPenney's 'Pet Portraits'," said Sarah Collica, director of marketing and communications at Austin Pets Alive! "The company's invitation to offer exposure of some of our senior population to their audience is so generous. We are honored and proud to be supported by a community that cares so deeply for pets in need."
