Educate | Advocate | Adopt

Dollars 2 Dogs was created to make a way that families could support rescue financially, spread awareness, and bring people together around a cause that matters and build a solution that lasts. Every D2D event is family-friendly, charity-driven, and community-powered.

At Paw Arty, we believe anyone/ everyone can help a shelter pet, without having to adopt. We create sketched canvases of pets in shelter and then host events, encouraging people to find something inside themselves, something that might have been lost or be hibernating, art, confidence, growth, spirit, talent. We bring it all back out and wrap it in ‘purpose’.

When Lulu first came into rescue, she was just a tiny puppy with her front legs broken. What would normally be a straightforward surgery for most dogs wasn’t so simple for Lulu. Her bones were too small for standard plates, and her case became much more complex than anyone expected.

The Rescue Dog Project is an awareness campaign. Rescuers love all animals, but know too closely that shelters and rescues need serious support. Art is an opportunity to make people a little uncomfortable to force reflection in an effort to decrease breeding or increase volunteers, change a few minds or create a few more fosters – bring communities together for a good cause – whatever it is, let's just reverse the cycle.
