It’s Baaack… and Worse Than Ever!
Animal Samaritans proudly presents the 2nd Annual POORLY DRAWN PETS fundraiser — because what better way to celebrate DOGust than with some hilariously questionable artwork?

Our goal: Raise $10,000 for the adorable dogs and puppies at our No Kill Shelter!

Our method: Let volunteer “artists” (yes, we’re using that word loosely — including some brave local celebrities!) create one-of-a-kind, delightfully awful portrait of your beloved pet.

We’re way better at saving animals than drawing them... but the results? Absolutely unforgettable. Whether it’s oddly shaped ears or Picasso-level proportions, your portrait is guaranteed to make you smile and support a great cause.

HOW IT WORKS:

  1. Pick Your Pet Pic: Choose your favorite photo of your pet.

  2. Make a Donation:
    👉 Click here to donate $20 per artwork.
    Got more than one pet in the photo? Add just $10 for each extra furry (or scaly) face!

  3. Send Your Pet's Photo:
    👉 Click here to email us your pet’s picture.
