Rescue Dogs Model For Portraits In Hopes Of Finding Forever Homes
A California shelter is teaming up with local artists to help some adorable rescues meet their forever families.
Oakland Animal Services hopes the eye-catching pieces, which will be on display at the shelter and in a cafe downtown, will get the attention of potential pet parents.
The shelter is calling the campaign "Home Is Where The HeART Is," and anyone who takes home one of the painted pups gets to take home their new pet's portrait, too.
The shelter matched the artists to their adoptable pet muses with the help of Oakland ad agency Arson.
In addition to this special campaign, Oakland Animal Services will also be waiving adoption fees for all of their animals during Valentine's weekend. So if you're near Oakland and you're ready to open your heart and your home to an animal, now's really the time.
This isn't the only shelter coming up with clever plans to help their pets find homes. The staff at the San Francisco Animal Care and Control found a home for Neeners the pit bull by photographing him wearing a bunch of hilarious hats.
Not only are the lucky families who take home these dogs going to have the awesome feeling that comes with adopting a rescue animal, but they'll also get some super cool art. Now what would make for a better Valentine's Day than that?
