"Rescue takes a special kind of person. I've had Border Collies most of my adult life, and it's no wonder these intelligent but intense dogs often find themselves in less-than-ideal situations with people who didn't know what they were getting themselves into. My first Border, Maggie, I raised from a puppy and competed with in obedience, all the way through to our OTCh (Obedience Trial Champion). When the CKC dropped the Border as a recognized breed, rather than look to another breed for a competition dog, I decided it was more important to give a home to a hard-to-place young male I'd been training and fostering. Finn is ten now, and still inspiring paintings like this. When Maggie died two years ago, almost seventeen, I didn't intend on getting another dog - but Finn convinced me otherwise. Through Border Collie Rescue Ontario I took on Swish, who is the epitome of that intelligence and intensity. I haven't done a painting of her yet, but rest assured I will! "

This is a painting of Brady. Brady is a dog up for adoption at the HSKC. I adopted my dog at this shelter and he is just a doll, as they all are, with love and attention. I want to be able to help the dogs that I have had to leave behind and the future dogs to come into this shelter. They all need our help.

"Bongo was dragging a thick chain and trying to cross a busy intersection when I rescued him from almost certain death. A lady then came over to see if the dog was all right. She was a homeless lady who had kept him for the last three months. She told me that her husband was very ill and she could no longer care for the dog. Bong ended up going home with me that day. He has since been neutered and updated on all his shots. I am fostering him until we can locate a forever, loving home for him. To learn more about CARE, go to their website at: www.careshelter.org"

"Theresa is a pit bull currently housed at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. She is always seen carrying her favorite accessory - a rubber ball. When I was asked to paint her, I couldn't choose just one color ball, so I did 8. Selected 8" original paintings of Theresa are also available, titled by ball color (i.e, "Pink," "Red," etc), at $300 each, with 20% of the original's purchase price going to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary.
