>Because You Care

>

Last night, I stayed up until 2:30 am working on Rachel. I am using many shades of gray on her. So far, I like how she looks. Her personality is really showing through. I can't wait to start adding fringes and dimension to make these dogs even more realistic...

The responses I've gotten while working on this piece have really made me think a lot about animal rescue missions. My Aunt Nancy is currently volunteering for an organization in Pennsylvania called Because You Care. She helps to transport animals to kinder shelters around the Erie area. I think it is wonderful that she is able to do this in her spare time. I was looking at that organization's website, and noticed all the cats & dogs that are up for adoption. There are even a couple of bunnies, and they are adorable. I hope all of these animals find happy homes.

Many of us love cats and dogs, but we don't always have the time to volunteer. There are other ways to help:

Sponsor a pet

Become a foster parent

Attend or participate in a fundraiser

Become a member of a rescue organization

Donate $$ for food, medicine, and other supplies

Find an animal rescue mission in your area and ask how you can help:)
