The competition is HOT for a spot…

in our Tiny Dog Calendar for 2020. We’re raising votes ($1 at a time!) for the homeless pets in north Texas. Every dollar counts!

25 beautiful dogs were photographed for this year’s contest, but only 13 earn a space in the calendar, so as voting continues during the month of August we are inching towards our goal of $20,000 for Artists for Animals community grants for 2019.  100% of your voting dollars go to the fund and animal rescue groups from the north Texas area apply for grants with a simple one page form.

SADIE VOTE

Our mission is simple. To help raise funds for a variety of hard-working nonprofit groups in our area. Volunteers who give up their free time and energy pulling dogs off the streets, healing sick and wounded pets, vetting and re-homing and offering spay and neuter services to break the cycle of homelessness.  Many of these groups are small and dedicated, but lack the time and funds to hold their own fundraising events –and they need our support.

Here is today’s tally:

Murphy! By a nose.  And the hundreds of homeless pets that will benefit from the $9771 raised with your votes.

This handsome guy will not only appear on the cover of our 2018 Tiny Dog Calendar, but his family receives a gift certificate for a photo session and a 16×20 gallery wrapped canvas print from Teresa Berg Photography.  Congratulations, Murphy!  And since it was SO CLOSE, our runner up, Morgan will receive a $250 gift certificate.

Congratulations go out to all of our calendar dogs, with our thanks.  If you’d like to pre-order a calendar, visit Teresa Berg’s Etsy shop. We’ll ship you a signed copy as soon as they’re out of production.

Many thanks!

Our 2014 Artists for Animals concert was a hit! Combining ticket sales, donations and auction sales, our event raised $14,600 for Operation Kindness on March 14th. THANKS TO YOU!  We’ve even been contacted by orchestras in other cities that are interested in doing their own versions of our concert. So stay tuned for more news about money raised and animals saved.

Announcing the Artists for Animals Concert: March 14, 2014

Welcome! We have a new name, a new website and a new mission for the new year. We are an organization of artists founded by Erin Hannigan, Principal Oboe of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and Teresa Berg, Dallas photographer and animal activist, in 2011. Our previous concerts (called An Evening for Dog Lovers) were held to benefit a 501(c)3 named Paws in the City.

This year’s live multi-media event is sponsored in part by DSO (Dallas Symphony Orchestra) and reaches out further in to the community, drawing student artists in for a poster contest and local artisans displaying one-of-a-kind pet beds — all available in the silent auction.

All proceeds from this year’s event benefit Operation Kindness, the oldest and largest no-kill shelter in Texas. Live classical music from some of DSO’s finest musicians paired with 9 x 12′ projected photographic images leave attendees with a multi-layered appreciation for the beauty and spirit of the homeless dogs and cats that are featured. This year’s event will be held at the Addison Conference Center, in Addison Texas. Tickets will be on sale shortly!
