Title: Sharky

Artist: Pat Viamontes Drone

Medium: Acrylic on canvas, framed

Dimensions: 14" x 17"

Animal Depicted: Sharky

Sharky first came to Stray Rescue in 2024 after a nice woman found her on a freezing day and kept her cozy in her house until she could safely get her to us. Her rescuer said she did great with her dogs at home and would have loved to keep her if she could have. We named her Sharky after her favorite stuffy that she came in with. She was adopted not long after, but she was returned after living in a home for a year. Though it was not her fault, the resident senior dog could no longer tolerate her, and it had become an unsafe situation for both dogs involved.

The transition back to living at the shelter has been difficult for Sharky, but her staff and volunteer friends do everything they can to make her more comfortable. She is a lovable, playful girl with a gentle heart and joyful spirit. She thrives on companionship and is happiest when she's out on long walks with her dog friends or running around the yard, soaking up the sunshine. Sharky has a sweet and affectionate nature. She's the kind of dog who leans in for cuddles and gives you that look that says, "I love you already."

She's easy to fall in love with. Whether you're an active person who enjoys outdoor adventures or someone who just wants a loyal friend to share the couch with, Sharky is ready to be by your side. If you're looking for a dog who will bring warmth, laughter, and unconditional love into your life, Sharky might just be your perfect match.
