Many so-called pets don’t have a home, and can spend, weeks, months, or even years waiting for someone to choose them. It can be even more difficult for pets that have been abandoned, abused, or attacked. Despite the immediate reactions to their appearance, it only takes a few seconds to look into their eyes to fall in love completely.

Madrid-based photographer Andrés López wants to melt your heart and inspire you to adopt, so he creates beautiful portraits of animals that are still seeking their forever fam.

I had the chance to talk to Andrés about this project, “Invisibles,” a free service he’s been offering for more than six years to shelters and organizations to promote the adoption of cats, dogs, and other animals.
