Did you know? Behavior issues are one of the top reasons for the relinquishment of pets to shelters. That's why we're very excited to be teaming up with The Louisiana SPCA to raise funds for their Training and Behavior department, which provides basic training for shelter dogs and low-cost training services for the public. These shelter training programs and classes address the shelter overpopulation crisis by getting animals into loving homes faster and increasing the likelihood that they stay there once adopted.
How can you help? When you commission a 12" x 12" or 11" x 14" custom pet portrait June 8th - September 1st and specify that you'd like LA-SPCA to benefit, we'll double our usual donation. That means 20% of proceeds from your commission will go directly to LA-SPCA's Training and Behavior department, providing resources for training shelter pets! Order here.
