Ruff-ly Drawn Portraits!
Welcome to our third annual Ruff-ly Drawn Fundraiser! We’re so happy to again be bringing art and our beloved animals together in one fun opportunity.
Have you always wanted a custom piece of art that features your pet? Are you driven to support a local organization focused on helping animals? Do you enjoy a light hearted mystery and a little adventure? Would you love to know how all 3 of those questions come together into one opportunity? We have a delightful answer for you with this super exciting fundraiser.
For a donation of $25 (per animal) you will receive custom made artwork featuring your pet that is yours forever. The process is simple, You send in the donation and your favorite picture, and a volunteer artist will send back a portrait based on that picture.
Here’s where the mystery and adventure part comes in! Our artists range from highly talented to never drawn before in their lives… so you won’t know who is creating your portrait until you get the artwork back! Will it be a work of art for prominent display? Will it be a conversation starter for the refrigerator? Either way, it will be custom created just for you with a lot of love and effort.
The artwork may be a sculpture or hand drawn, Acrylics or digital, mixed media or paper and pencil; basically any format the artist feels best suits their skills and your animal. All art will be emailed back to you in a printable format for you to keep forever.
The submission window will be open from Saturday, March 1st, 9am PST to Monday, March 10th, 6pm PST. All final art will be delivered via email no later than March 31st, 2025.
The donation is $25 per animal, with no more than 2 animals per shared photo. Any additional animals must be submitted individually.
Any additional questions, or concerns with your submission can be directed to portraits@thevbas.org
The 2025 Ruffly Drawn Fundraiser is now closed. Thank you for the 550+ awesome photo submissions!
We look forward to doing Ruffly Drawn again in 2026!
