HOPE ...it springs eternal...

"HOPE IS IN HIS FUTURE"


Meet TYSON, currently in foster care on Cape Cod, MA.
As with all the artists here at ART HELPING ANIMALS, I paint for my local rescues when the need arises. I was recently contacted by Friends of Falmouth Dogs to ask if I could paint one of their rescues to help with some funding...In this economy we can all use the help but the RESCUES are really getting hard hit.

They not only get fewer dollars but they also rescue MORE animals!
We are all in this together so spread the links that will help rescue when you can!

ABOUT TYSON:
Tyson was adopted from a shelter in Maine when he was 12 weeks old. His owner moved and her new landlord would not allow a Pit Bull to be at the house. He was surrendered to the Friends of Falmouth Dogs at 11 months. Unfortunately even prior to the move, Tyson's life was unstable and he was cared for by a family acquaintance for several months before he was returned to his owner. Despite his strength, Tyson is an affectionate dog. He's eager to please and has responded well to training. Typical to many Pits, Tyson has very pink skin and is prone to skin allergies. Cold weather as well as a collar worsened the condition. He also had a recurring problem with his ear...an old wound he received as a young puppy. Periodically it would bleed, particularly when he shook his head. His skin allergy probably impacted his healing process. Over time, the stress of the kennel took it's toll and Tyson's ear bled daily (not very appealing to potential adopters). A portion of his ear was removed and stitched in an effort to promote healing. Tyson was placed in foster care in hopes of decreasing his stress level. He is doing well and is living with 4 other dogs while he waits for his forever home.

Urgent Dalmatian Help...


Despite the limited information we have about these 2 beautiful Dals, we asking EVERYONE we know for HELP.They are male & female Dalmatians, approximately 6-8 years of age, owner surrendered, heartworm negative, and both are spayed/neutered. They only have a couple of days left before their time runs out!!!!Both are currently at the Halifax Humane Society in Daytona Beach. The shelter needs to know IMMEDIATELY if someone can help, even a FOSTER would save them.
Both are in desperate need of a home, DRTB has 25 Dals under it's care and we are out of room for us to take them in. Even the kennel we've used in the past is unavailable due to a fire. If you can help the two beautiful Dals, please contact the shelter IMMEDIATELY, there is no time to waste.We also ask that you please share / cross-post this email with anyone you think might be able to help the Daytona Dals!
Thank you, Susan WeberDalmatian Rescue of Tampa Bay

DRTB is not an officially supported Art Helping Animals rescue associate...but it is one of my favorite rescues and has done exemplary work with final refuge dals and saving many dals from death by their wonderful volunteers. I stand by their commitment to helping homeless animals in the neediest situations.

Mercy, Mercy, Me!


This is the painting above that sold to help BONES rescue. "Mercy, Me!" oil on canvas. It was recently featured on Daily Painter's Gallery for AHA, as well as our own AHA Art BLOG.


Thought I would post a light hearted moment for one of our ART HELPING ANIMALS supported rescues...

I recently had the pleasure of painting one of the baby beagles currently in foster care through BONES that is BEAGLES OF NEW ENGLAND STATES, one of our favorite rescues. (Percy)

They have helped hundreds of beagles, both young and old, find their forever homes. They have dedicated volunteers who embrace these fosters and teach some who have never been part of families the finer things to prepare them for homelife.



Here is Percy (who is growing so fast) with his foster "sister" Ally. Just running and playing and chasing...and getting that puppy tuckered out for a nap later! LOL

Pam, Ally's mom ( and a BONES volunteer) sent me the link.
THANKS FOR SUPPORTING HOMelESS ANIMALS WITH ART!
