Art Helping Rescues

Animal Rescues are imperative in our society today. They do wonderful work for animals that have been abused, abandoned or need to be re-homed. They are a very valuable part of many animals lives, and make a huge difference for most who travel through their doors. I will be periodically offering a portrait to auction for the Jack Russell Rescue of Ontario, with all proceeds from the auctions being donated to the rescue. I will also periodically be donating to specific charities/rescues/shelters, pieces of artwork that they can sell, with the proceeds going to that particular group.
