Poorly Drawn Pets

What is Poorly Drawn Pets?

There’s an age-old saying “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Forget that saying, because when you buy art from this fundraiser, the creation you’ll be holding probably won’t be beautiful.

For $25, one of our volunteer “artists” will draw your pet. All proceeds will benefit shelter pets, and our artists will receive some much-needed practice.

We won’t lie to you, some of our artists are actually very talented. But for 90% of them, the last time their art was complimented was by their mother in the third grade (and even she struggled to speak the words “it’s lovely, honey”).

Will you receive a Louvre-worthy painting of your beloved Snugglemuffin, or will you open your email to a nightmare-inducing, well-intentioned scribble? We are only offering a limited amount of pet portraits, so get yours today!

How it Works

  • This year, Poorly Drawn Pets submissions will only be open from June 2 through June 9, so if you want one of your pet, get it quickly!
    • After purchasing your Poorly Drawn Pet, you’ll receive an email with instructions about how to submit your pet photo. Remember, one pet per submission.
  • On June 10, we will assign your pet’s portrait to one of our volunteer artists.
  • Our artists will have two weeks to finish their masterpiece. We’ll post all portraits as we receive them from our artists, so you can keep checking this page to see if yours is done!
  • All portraits will be completed and uploaded to this webpage by June 23.
