When cats and dogs arrive at The Animal League, we can never be quite sure how they will respond, how their life experiences have affected them or what hidden talents they may possess. From depressed to aggressive and introverted to extroverted, we’ve seen it all. Only after giving each of them the love, care, medical treatment and stability that they need, can they really start to shine and show their true selves.
Art has longtime been an outlet for self-expression, so we thought, “Why not let our dogs have the opportunity to do some painting?”, and what do you know? Some of our pups seem to be talented artists! We applied paint to canvases, sealed them in plastic, and our creative furry friends couldn’t wait to lick, nose and paw their designs into existence. Their unique masterpieces capture their playful natures, and are delightful reminders of the joy they bring into our lives.
Now you can share in the joy and perhaps become the proud owner of a piece of very unique art. Along with gift baskets, gift cards, and tickets for unforgettable experiences around Florida, each of these puppy paintings are available for you to bid on in our online silent auction. Head over to 32auctions to view all the items and place your bids, or simply enjoy browsing the gallery below. Hover over or tap each image to read about the personality of the artist.

We are having a rather crazy time here at The Animal League, where busy is an understatement, but seeing dogs and cats successfully rescued, nursed back to health and finding their happy places again makes every minute of it worthwhile. Your belief and support in our mission makes a difference every day, and strengthens our resolve to do more.
