Title: A Portrait of Gerald

Artist: Sheila Michael

Medium: Colored Pencil on Grafix

Dimensions: 16.5" x 13.5" (framed)

Animal Depicted: Gerald

Last year, this little beagle came to us sooo skinny. His paws were open and infected, he had gaping wounds, and bone was exposed. We will spare you the before photos. His wounds smelled horrible when he came in, so he went directly into emergency care.

Gerald went through a lot during his journey to recovery. He had to have a leg amputated and was diagnosed as fecally incontinent.

You would never know it, though. After recovery, he came to live upstairs in a staff member's office. He made so many furry friends and got to go to play groups daily, where he romped hard with the best of 'em.

Even though he was perfection, we knew finding a family willing to manage his special needs might be tough, but miracles happen here every day. Gerald was adopted by an incredible family that fell in love with him, unconditionally. Not a dry eye in the house that day.

Recently, Gerald crossed the rainbow bridge. Although this news saddened us deeply, we found the beauty in him being with his forever family, enveloped in love, and finally home.

Medium: Colored Pencil & Pastel

Dimensions: 16" x 20" (framed)

Animal Depicted: Epsom

Summer 2022: Epsom was saved from a shady motel. Another tiny, emaciated, mistreated soul finds her way into SR's arms. She was the third emaciated dog to join us in less than a week. This little baby just wanted to be held. We promised her she would NEVER be mistreated again.

Epsom has been adopted and based on the updated photos we've received; her old life is a million miles away now.

Title: The Cemetery Moonlight

Artist: Lily Bejarno

Medium: Alcohol Marker & Ink

Dimensions: 13.25" x 17.25" (framed)

Animal Depicted: Nickerson

We found this sweet boy running in a cemetery with what we thought was a broken leg. He was hanging out next to the Nickerson gravesite, so that's what we named him. Turns out his leg wasn't broken, he actually had brachial plexus avulsion (which means the nerves are stretched or torn leaving him with leg paralysis). He had to have that leg amputated. Although it took some time, Nickerson recovered beautifully and has officially been adopted. Way to go, Nickers!

Title: Princess Rosie #1

Artist: Rosemary Sturm

Medium: Colored Pencil

Dimensions: 10.5" x 12.5" (framed)

Animal Depicted: Princess Rosie

This is the lovely Princess Rosie. The name says it all! She came to us with one broken front leg and both legs shattered by bullets - and - to make matters worse, she was full of milk. Since she was brought in as an emergency, we didn't have the faintest idea where her puppies went. We were told that they had all been sold. It's horrible to think about.

Princess Rosie recovered in the clinic with BOTH front legs in casts for MONTHS. And she did so with grace. She became a fast favorite with our clinic staff. Once she was medically cleared, she joined the general population here at the shelter. That's when we got to see this girl's true personality...She loved the freedom and all the new faces.

A true happy beginning, Princess Rosie was adopted just days before Christmas. We are so happy our SURVIVOR got the ultimate gift - a forever family to call her own!

Title: Olaf Standing

Artist: Maltak

Medium: Charcoal & Graphite

Dimensions: 25" x 30" (framed)

Animal Depicted: Olaf

Meet Olaf! In December of last year, temperatures plummeted to 2 degrees. It was snowing like crazy. It actually hurt to be outside. Donna worked on getting this sweet young skittish little guy out of the cold for HOURS. After finally getting him to safety (and warmth!) at the shelter, we named him Olaf.

Naturally, this babe was adopted in a snap. Never to be cold or lonely again. Way to let it go, Olaf. Happy new life!
