"I just wanted to thank you again. I got the portrait today and you brought her back to life for me. I feel like I could just kiss and hug and pet The picture and I could feel her spirit through it. I can’t thank you enough."

Your orders help local animal shelters and rescues in the Central Valley of California and help to foster/adopt abused/neglected animals.

I donate a percentage of my revenue to local animal rescues and shelters.  I also adopt and foster livestock in need.  

Dumbledore ("Dumble") is a sorrel Thoroughbred gelding who came to us from Fresno Humane Animal Services in Fresno County.  He was emaciated, abused and abandoned.  He is the friendliest horse we have ever met. We cannot imagine our life without him.  Although he remains incontinent, he has otherwise recovered fully and is thriving. 

After Dumble, we received generous donations for a new stall system from many kind hearted souls, which allowed us again to answer the call from Fresno Humane Animal Services and we took in an abandoned, underweight bay Quarter Horse mare we named Otter who had an extremely large degloving wound on her hip/leg. Otter is now fully recovered from her wounds. 

We also recently brought in from Fresno Humane an emaciated goat with an eye injury (for which he had removal surgery) we named Huggy Bear as our other two goats are Starsky & Hutch (IYKYK).  Huggy Bear even has his own instagram account courtesy of my sister Becky.

Otter, Dumble, and Huggy Bear are now thriving in an environment they desperately needed. We are very grateful for all of our blessings.

Some of the rescues in our Valley doing amazing work are Fresno Bully Rescue (bully breed dog rescue) www.fresnobullyrescue.org and Rawhide Rescues (horse rescue) https://www.facebook.com/p/RawHyde-Rescues-100088557799778/.  Give them a look and consider helping if you can.  They are really making a difference for our area that is in much need of their services.  

 *Correction to the news story - we are located in Madera Ranchos and the donations were not for food but for additional stalls to house Dumbledore and other large animals in need.
