4. Pet Meet & Greet:

Take a break from painting to meet some of the adorable adoptable animals at our shelter. Get up close and personal with some of our furry residents, learn about their stories, and maybe even fall in love with a new friend. This meet & greet is the perfect way to connect with the animals your participation supports.

5. Shelter Tour:

Curious about the work we do? Join us for a guided tour of our shelter facilities. Learn about our mission, meet our dedicated staff and volunteers, and discover how we’re making a difference in the lives of animals every day. This behind-the-scenes look will give you a deeper appreciation for the impact of your participation.

6. Your Take-Home Masterpiece:

At the end of the session, you’ll have a beautiful, personalized piece of art to take home. Display it proudly as a reminder of your pet and your artistic achievement, and let it be a conversation starter for sharing your experience with others.
