Rescue Dogs' Pawesome Paintings Up For Auction To Support Charity

We always knew animals were awesome and talented, but now one British animal rehoming center is putting their skills to the test! "Artworks created by dogs are going up for auction to raise money for an animal rescue charity in Redcar. SARA (Saving and Rehoming Animals) came up with the idea to help raise funds during the pandemic, which it said had a 'huge impact' on fundraising events. The canvas artworks were made at the Redcar center using non-toxic paint, plastic sheets and peanut butter. Center manager Abigail Armstrong said volunteers were 'very impressed' with the outcome of the artworks." Story via BBC.

We love this concept! "The volunteers came up with artist names for the new canine residents, like Jimmy da Vinci and Pepper Picasso. Ms. Armstrong added Akita-cross Jimmy and retired greyhound Peanut loved producing the art the most because 'they love treat time, so when they had the chance to enjoy some doggy peanut butter, they were over the moon'." Story via BBC. We hope these doggos (and rabbits!) paint their sweet little hearts out…and that they get adopted to awesome and loving families as soon as possible!

    "The pandemic has had a huge impact on our charity, we weren't able to rehome any animals at all during the first lockdown and we have lost more than a year's worth of events that we hold at the center and in other venues and we haven't been able to do street collections." Story via BBC.

    "These were the primary ways we raised, not just funds, but awareness of who we are and what we do. The aim of our charity is to help animals in need and find them their forever homes, so it's been a worrying time for everyone here at SARA." Story via BBC.
