PORTRAITS FOR
PREVENTION

A digital fundraiser for Local Spay and Neuter Support

Helping never felt — or looked — so good.

For the month of October, I'm putting my love of dogs and art to work for the Coshocton County Animal Shelter's Coshocton City Pittie Spay and Neuter Program.

​

Donate at least $5 directly to the shelter's PayPal account, send me proof of the donation, along with at least one good photo of your dog, and I'll create a digital portrait for you.

​

Your donation goes directly to the shelter. I don't receive any portion of it.

 

Let’s make something beautiful — and put that beauty to work for dogs who need us.

A framed custom pet portrait.

How It Works

Custom art shouldn’t be complicated. Here’s exactly how it works.

Make a donation.

 

Scan the code above or visit PayPal and make a donation of at least $5 directly to hataofccas@yahoo.com for each portrait you request.

Choose Your Style.

 

Select from one of the design styles below, or throw caution to the wind and choose Artist's Choice. Either way, you get a one-of-a-kind portrait — and a dog gets some help.

Upload Your Photos.

 

Use the direct upload tool on the product page to attach at least one clear, well-lit photo of your pet and a copy of your donation receipt.

Art arrives.

 

Your high-resolution digital file will be emailed straight to your inbox, ready to print at home, frame, or use as a phone background!

Artist's Choice

You provide the photo. I make the creative decisions. I choose the style, colors, composition, and overall vibe.

Your Choice

You provide the photo. You choose the style. Choose from the available portrait styles and provide any special instructions.

Every portrait is delivered as a high‑resolution digital file you can print, frame, or share. No shipping, no package tracking, no waiting for the mail —  just art that does good.*

​

*Your digital file will arrive via email within 5–7 business days.

Campaign Terms and Guidelines

  • One Donation = One Portrait: Please make a donation of at least $5 directly to the shelter for each portrait you request. Each portrait is limited to one pet. Want portraits of two pets? Absolutely! Just make two separate donations and submit two separate portrait requests, with an individual photo for each pet.

​

  • Photo Quality Matters:  Because your portrait is created digitally from the photo you provide, the quality of your finished portrait depends on the quality of your photo. Please choose a high-resolution, sharply focused, well-lit image whenever possible. If your photo is too blurry, dark, or otherwise difficult to work with, I'll contact you by email and ask for an alternative.
     

  • About Your Portrait:  Artist's Choice portraits are created according to the artist's interpretation of your submitted photo. Your Choice portraits will follow the style you select and may include minor adjustments based on the photo you provide. Because these portraits are created as part of a limited-time fundraiser, extensive revisions or entirely new portraits are not included.
     

  • Personal Use Only: Portraits are delivered as high-resolution digital files for personal use only (printing for your home, gifts, or social media). The artwork may not be resold, commercialized, or used for business branding.

What exactly do I get?

One custom 8 × 10 digital portrait of your pet.
 

High-resolution digital file • Delivered by email • No physical product or shipping • Personal-use rights • Ready to print, frame, gift, or use as a phone background • Delivered within 5–7 business days

A few things to know

Portraits are available October 1–31, 2026.

​

A minimum donation of $5 is requested for each portrait.

One donation = one digital portrait.

​

Please don't donate more than you can comfortably afford. There's no prize for giving the most — we're here to help the dogs, not empty your wallet.

​

Portraits are digital only. No physical prints will be mailed.

​

I'll work through requests in the order they are received, and I'll send your finished portrait to the email address provided with your submission.

Thank you for helping me turn a little creativity into something that can help dogs in our community. That's active impact!

​

And to recognize your contribution, every campaign supporter will have their portrait appear on the MBL Facebook page. 

​

Whether you’ve been wanting a portrait of your current pup, a tribute to a childhood pet, a unique gift for a friend, or a rendering of that rescue dog you follow obsessively on social media ... this is your moment.
