Oops! Photographer Anne Chadwick Williams Takes Hilarious Blooper Photos Of Shelter Dogs (PHOTOS)

Bad photos can happen to the best of us.

Based on these blooper photos taken by Anne Chadwick Williams -- a professional photographer in Sacramento, Calif. -- it looks like they can happen to the cutest dogs too.

More than a year ago, Williams started photographing shelter dogs at the Sacramento City Animal Shelter.

"I knew I could draw more attention to the animals with good pictures and I wanted to help get them adopted," she said.

However, even the cutest dogs have their off-days -- and over time, Williams has amassed a collection of blooper photographs that are at once hilarious and adorable.

She recently posted a few of these photos, with funny captions added, on her blog.

"The blooper photos are a funny fusion of [the dogs'] offbeat expressions and anthropomorphism," Williams said. "They show a full range of emotions one usually doesn’t see in dog adoption photos."

"I’m sure we all can relate to one or two of them," she added.

This make me sad. All these little bundles of preciousness are in the shelter. Hope they get good homes.

I have a beautiful 10 month old female white german shepherd. Everytime I walk her people ask me if I want to breed her with their dog. I had her spayed before her 1st heat because there are so many unneutered dogs in my area. I always refuse their request and tell them she is spayed. They always say...well spaying her was a dumb idea. I don't regret getting her spayed. I have seen many White German Sheperds that look exactly like her at shelters all over the states. Shelter dogs belong to someone at some time. It's not their fault they are homeless. Please adopt from the shelters. Many of them have good manners and lots of love to give.

these babies could not possibly be any cuter.  i hope they all got the wonderful homes they deserve.

i wish every dog and cat would get the loving home they deserve.  adopt from a shelter, save a life.  you'll never, ever be sorry.

there is nothing in all the world like the love of a furry companion.  they are perfect in every way, hearts of pure gold, and we should count ourselves lucky to have them in our lives.

Spaying and neutering has been mentioned quite a bit. No excuse not to do it. There are agencies you can find that will do it for free or for a very small fee. Most vets agree that pediatric spaying and neutering is the best way to go. The advice used to be to have them spayed or neutered at around 6 months, at least before they ever go into heat even once. Now vets say the younger the better - they heal faster and it helps avoid certain cancers and problems later in life. Also - please, no matter how good your intentions are at the time, do not adopt a dog or cat if you cannot take care of them properly and for the rest of their lives!

Very cute pictures - I love the one with the "peanut butter". I was just thinking through all the pictures that I hope they were all at non-kill shelters and that they all got great homes. If people only knew how wonderful the babies are that you can adopt at shelters they would stop spending so much money on "pure bred" dogs and cats. Those breeds are wonderful too, of course, but if there is a particular breed you are fond of, there are rescue leagues for every breed out there. Adopt a friend for life.

4 million cats and dogs are euthanized in this country every year some die horrible deaths in gas chambers or by heart stick. Spay and Neuter your pets, microchip them, ADOPT DON'T SHOP AND PETS ARE FOR LIFE not until you get a girl friend, boy friend, move or have a baby!!

I love your comment. You said it all. I just heard a woman on TV say that she paid $2,000 for some breed of dog she wanted and when I hear things like that I think of all the wonderful dogs and cats in shelters who need homes. Oh, and the part about "pets are for life" - isn't THAT the truth? The parent of a human child couldn't possibly love their kids more than I love the cats and dog I was lucky enough to adopt. Thank you - well said, and I hope people read your comment and pay attention!

I love the pictures, especially the Chihuahua. My Chihuahua, Yoda, is cute, with buggy eyes and spindly legs. He's great. The photographer should publish a book of those photos. It would sell. Did anyone check out the ugly dog clip? I've seen the shows for America's ugliest dog, so I recognized some of them. I remember when Pabst won. I didn't think he was ugly, he just has a wicked overbite. I don't think anyone can really beat the Chinese Crested dogs for ugly. Archie and the #1 dog are really awful. But they are all loved.

so many of us dream
of a lottery win.
so we could improve
the condition
dogs and cats are in.
but reality bites,
these sweet angels, kiss.
hope their dream homes
wait
we can all help with this.

Oh yes indeed. My Yoda's a rescue. They told me he was shy. He leaped into my lap immediately. I looked at the rescue guy and said. "He's coming home with me". Took all of 10 minutes.
