[Dailydrool] Babygirl - Tri-State Basset Hound Rescue

[D M]

Tri-State Basset Hound Rescue has a 5 month old little girl with a serious eye issue (rogue cells growing fur IN her eye) that will need surgery in the near future.  It is painful for her as well as unsightly.  She is recovering from pneumonia after being thrown away by some heartless people and found wandering.   I am fostering her and she is home and doing much better, active (too much so) and eating and enjoying life as much as she is able to with hair growing out of her eyes.  Plus, she already has a forever home waiting for her.
 
The surgery will be a long and delicate procedure and she’ll need to be intubated and under anesthesia for a long period, all of which is expensive.  She should be well enough for the surgery in a few weeks, but it will put a serious strain on our funds and we need to come up with ways to relieve that.  We've had some generous people donate towards her surgery through her “ChipIn” page (http://tristatebassets.chipin.com/babygirl), but we have a long way to go.  Therefore, I’m selling pet portraits & 100% of the money from the portraits will go to Babygirl's vet bill.  The portraits will be matted and ready to go into a 20x24 frame.  The subject can be any pet and multiples in one portrait are fine at a slightly increased price, although the resulting images would necessarily be smaller than one larger single image.  They will be in color, using mixed media – acrylics and pen & ink, on archival acid-free paper, backing  and
 matting, in plastic protective sleeves.   The price is $200 per 16x20 portrait (which fits in a 20x24 frame), with an additional $50 for each added pet.  This is well below the average cost of a professional pet portrait, and the cost to Tri-State is $0.  The only thing you need to provide (other than $200 J) is a good clear photo of the pet(s) in the pose you prefer.
 
So please, if you can, help us raise some funds for this sweet little girl who has her whole life ahead of her.  You can get a portrait of your own pet or maybe a gift for someone special (the holidays are coming!).   If you are interested you can email me at irescue2 at comcast.net  and I can also send you samples of my work.  You can also see pictures of this sweet little girl on Tri-State's Facebook page.  
 
Thanks so much for all your support!!
