A year before I moved to Alabama my “Baby Girlfriend” Cookie contracted Canine Lymphoma. Not long after her diagnosis the decision was made to euthanize her as she had started suffering.<\/strong><\/p>\n I was still grieving for her when I met a neighbor in my new location that was involved with fostering dogs and cats from the local animal shelter. She introduced me to a lady, who along with her husband, had started a non-profit called Chloe’s Fund. The fund was named after a beloved pet who had passed on and all money raised or donated went towards medical costs for life saving treatments and surgeries for shelter animals.<\/strong><\/p>\n It wasn’t long before the fund’s founder, Debby, lovingly convinced me to foster a dog….and then another….and another and….well, we ended up with a foster fail. A foster fail is when you start out fostering an animal but decide to adopt that animal instead of sending it on to a rescue or another adopter.<\/strong><\/p>\n More than one of my foster dogs received medical care paid for out of Chloe’s fund. After seeing how important that fund was in saving the lives of shelter animals I decided to devote an entire collection of images on KeppenArt for raising money for Chloe’s Fund. That collection was titled Going To The Dogs.<\/strong><\/p>\n ALL<\/em> of my markup (profit) from sales of prints and products in the Going To The Dogs collection goes to Chloe’s Fund. One hundred percent.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n If you are an animal lover and want to help you can:<\/strong><\/p>\n (1) Donate directly to their PayPal account:<\/strong>
