Win Your Dog’s Portrait
I just want to remind Dogsters there is still time to do a good deed and get entered to win a beautiful painting of your dog.
We’re doing something a little different on the blog today. I was approached by a wonderful artist, Terry Stanley, to have a contest that would benefit dog charities. In return she would offer up two custom portraits, a large and small, for the lucky winners.
As for the contest, we are offering up a 11×14 painting ($125 value) of a single dog (or that much credit if you want to “upgrade” to more than one dog in the painting) for 1st place and a 2nd place/runner-up 5×7 ($35 value).
Go to the ORIGINAL POST to read the contest rules and enter. I’ve decided to extend the contest until Thursday, August 6th so go pick a charity and help make a needy dog’s day.
Kaine donated lots of his toys to the Arizona Animal Welfare League and SPCA. He also donated dog bowls, slicker brushes, a food container and canned dog food. I am currently helping to clicker train the dogs with behavior problems at AAWL & SPCA to become better canidates for adoption. I am also teaching them basic manners and a cute trick:)! These amazing dogs have taught me so much already.
Woofs n’ Wags,
Ashley & Kaine
Jesse is donating a year and half supply of his Mighty Dog food to Shelter dogs (in the form of 136, variety-twelve packs). He also is donating some toys, treats, and beds. He has donated $10,000 to the AZ Jack Russell Rescue, Inc. for winning the Bissell Pet Games video contest; which has helped build more homes for the JRTs, to stay at while they wait for their forever homes. I am volunteering my time, at the AZ Animal Welfare League to help teach the dogs basic manners, so that they are more adoptable. The dogs are so happy to have attention, and the mental stimulation helps them relax while they wait for their future families to adopt them. The dogs are very grateful, and it makes me feel like I have helped them become better canine citizens when I see them offering behaviors.
