Artists create images of stray dogs to aid in their adoption by a loving household.
In busy settings like supermarkets, finished pieces of art are hung.
Friends Natahnee Miller and Karen Spidle went to a “Draw Your Pet” event in the US.
Participants could freely draw photos of their own pets or dogs and cats from shelters throughout the event.
Natahnee noticed a 5-month-old puppy called Napster there.
His composure and humility won the woman over.
In the hopes that it would help him find a home, Natahnee painted a painting of him and quit her job at the shelter.
However, the sickness claimed the dog’s life a few weeks later.
Then, Natahnee and Karen joined together to form Cheddar Paws Dog Art, a nonprofit.
To find homes for the dogs, it is intended to bring together artists, business owners, animal rights advocates, and casual animal lovers.
They employ art for this.
Karen and Natahnee display paintings of animals by Pennsylvania portrait painters in grocery stores and other busy areas.
This has resulted in 138 pets finding new families.
“Today, our artists painted 197 dogs, 138 of which have already found their families,” said Karen Spidle.
