(Talent Not Guaranteed)

UPDATE March 16: Submissions are now closed.

There are some incredible artists among the amazing volunteers who make the day-to-day operations of OAS possible. And there are many more who, let’s face it, should probably keep their day jobs. This erratic team has joined forces for a fabulous new fundraiser for the Friends of Oakland Animal Services.

For a donation of just $25, you’ll get an original portrait of your pet by a possibly-talented OAS volunteer. So set your bar nice and low, and support FOAS with a gift of $25 or more today! There is no limit to the number you can purchase.

To get your, ah, unique pet portrait:

UPDATE March 16: Submissions are now closed.

Make an online gift of $25 (or more). Your gift must be made between Tuesday, March 10 and Monday, March 16, 2020. Forward your donation receipt to [email redacted], along with a photo of your pet (one photo per donation). By March 31, you will receive your one-of-a-kind pet portrait — and prepare to tell your friends that they just don’t understand modern art. Art will be delivered electronically; for a gift of $50 or more, we’ll mail you a hard copy of your pet portrait (please provide your mailing address).

Our marginally-talented OAS artists are standing by! Make your gift to FOAS today!

Special thanks to the Wisconsin Humane Society and BARCS for the inspiration!
