DAY 12 - "WHO RESCUED WHO?" CHALLENGE

1/12/2015

4 Comments

 

Today’s painting features Pepper, who is approximately 6 years old.  Pepper’s pet-mom Alison describes that this sweet girl had a rough and unfair start to life-- “She was the mama dog at a puppy mill for years”…” when they rescued her, she was missing a lot of hair, had rotted teeth, infections, and was a sad dog with a tail tucked between her legs”.  

Fortunately, Pepper’s life changed fom the better when she was  rescued by
S.C.A.A.R. and placed in a wonderful foster home; she was later adopted by kind and caring Alison. As you can see in this painting, Pepper is no longer the sad dog she was she she was rescued.  Allison  shares the following:  “Now she is a proud, happy go lucky dog who is clumsy, silly, and loved. She has infinite patience for children and other animals, and is often found snoring away with a kitten tucked under her chin. Pepper's most amusing unique feature is how jiggly and awkward she looks when she runs around the yard, and how peace loving she is, carefully separating children or cats if they are fighting.”

This is great! I love the theme of your challenge. I have been toying with the idea of working with a shelter for about a year since I adopted my last monster. (A 70+ lb pit mix who was only supposed to be 30 lbs.) I wanted to do a monthly painting of the animals they have had the longest and either auction off the paintings to support the shelter or give the painting to the adopter as an incentive.

It is a great shelter too. They keep dogs kenneled together and let them all go out into a run together.

Great job on the paintings.
