Helping Paws IV: All Creatures Big and Small

the 13th in a series of virtual Art Shows by the members of the Canine Art Guild

Welcome to the 4th Annual Canine Art Guild Helping Paws Online Exhibition, a unique event in which CAG member artists have partnered with their local animal shelters & rescue groups to raise awareness and funds for animal welfare. Furthermore, each of the artists in this show have pledged a percentage of their artwork's sale to a particular non-profit animal related group.

For the first time in our history, the CAG opened the Helping Paws exhibition up to include other animals that benefit from rescue and shelter efforts. Our world is sadly full of homeless animals and it is our hope that we are able to raise awareness and funds to help a handful of them. It might only be a handful, but it's a start!

We invite you to browse the art, choose a favorite, and then tell a friend about the show.
