We’re back! Awkward Pet Portraits is here again, ready to immortalize your pet in all their weird and wonderful glory. Ever wondered what your pet would look like in a “masterpiece” that’s as quirky as they are? Our team of volunteer “artists” will capture your pet’s personality in a delightfully offbeat, hand-drawn portrait. Perfect? Not a chance. Hilarious? You bet.

Here’s how it goes:

Send Us a Pic – Show us your pet’s sass, grump, or anything in between.

Donate – $20 per portrait, but feel free to throw in a little extra to support more animals.

Prepare for Awkward Greatness – Pick up your “art” at the event or get it sent to you for a full-on surprise.

Each masterpiece is as unique as your pet and 100% in support of helping animals find real homes. So bring on the awkwardness—it’s all for a great cause!
