Memorialize a pet you've loved and lost, or honor one that is now in your family (or, pay tribute to the pet of an animal lover you know!). 

Win a Custom Pet Portrait:  Make a suggested donation of $5 (or any other amount), and your name will be entered to win a pet portrait. Several artists from the "Art for Animals" exhibit have donated their time to create a beautiful portrait of the pet of your choosing in their own personal artistic style.
