Tacoma animal shelter hosts 'Poorly Drawn Pets' fundraiser

Humane society offers poorly drawn pet portrait for $20 donation

A local animal shelter will draw your pet for a donation.

TACOMA, Wash. - The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County offered poorly drawn pet portraits for $20, raising $30,000 in just two days.

The shelter hosted their virtual ‘Poorly Drawn Pets’ fundraising event on Facebook on April 6. Anyone who donated $20 got personal hand-drawn version of their favorite pet photo from one of the shelter volunteers. 

"Our artists can't promise perfection, but you'll definitely get a one-of-a-kind portrait that's sure to be memorable," says Ashley Taulbee, Chief Philanthropy Officer at the shelter.

Drawings come in a variety of quality and hilarity, the shelter says.

The fundraiser event is closed and the humane society raised $30,000. RELATED: Pierce County humane society looking for donations after 26 sick, injured kittens were brought in
