I asked the shelter I work with awhile back why others would be reluctant for help. The answer made sense. Its the time factor. They have to take employees away from their daily duties to help do photos and they are already full up on things to do. The don't really trust the motives of the people who ask to do these things and even if they have great intentions, they don't always feel the time invested will pay off.

So, its something they really have to believe in to do. I know when I would go it would take up 2.5 hours and that is a lot of time to take out of their schedules. Granted, we would get 70+ animals photographed in that time frame.
