This is the fourth in the series of paintings will have 100% (Less shipping) of the final bid donated to "Orphans of the Storm." It is our local shelter and where my last 4 dogs have come from. So they've been a top notch shelter for most of my life. All the dogs have come home with some basic training, so you know they spend a lot of time with them. Facebook asked me to start a Birthday fundraiser, and I said "why not." This was the first and only place I considered donating to. As of today we have raised $352 for the shelter (painting sales have yet to be added)... pretty good considering my goal was $200!
Anyway, pictured here is Frida. She's one well traveled pooch. Her story began in Texas, being found in a yard with her sister in a box. She was taken in by a rescue down there and ended up being fostered by a friend of a friend in Illinois. Danithza Olsen heard about her and was captivated! She drove all the way from Las Vegas to meet her, and adopt her. She now resides in Las Vegas with two other hairless dogs and a boxer named Lucca! I'm told they make a happy family, though Lucca can be a handful. Ira Klein was kind enough to donate this image to the cause.
I'll be posting one or two more paintings for the fundraiser over the next couple of days. They will all start a ridiculously low prices, so please donate what you can. It's for a good cause.
The Facebook fundraiser has ended, but the Facebook link is still active. A link to the organization is listed below. Should you just wish to donate directly, please do so here: Donate
