The surprise comes when the portraits are unveiled! You never know if you matched with a professional artist or an artist wannabe? Your volunteer artist could be an aspiring graphic designer, or an elementary school child who did their best crayon rendition. You never know what you’ll get, but every portrait is made with love, and helps fund the Greater Androscoggin Humane Society.

How do I get my awesome pet in a portrait?

It's only a $25 donation that covers a portrait with one pet randomly assigned to a volunteer artist. Your final portrait will come to you either in a digital or physical form, depending on the artist’s medium. This is such a loving way of honoring your furry best friend and helping such a great cause. Just order your portrait here.
