Artist Mark Barone is an accomplished artists who with his partner Marina started the “Act of Dog” project. It is both sad & beautiful. Every day in the United States alone 5,500 dogs are euthanized in shelters. Barone wanted to raise awareness of this horrendous statistic so he has set himself the task of doing 5,500 portraits of condemned shelter dogs.

 

 

He & his partner have created the first memorial museum of its kind in the world, designed to illuminate, educate & lift animal welfare consciousness.

 

 

The museum will allow a stable forever fund, that will distribute 100% of donations towards the salvation of shelter animals.

 

Below is a short that speaks about this project in it’s early conception.

 

 

The charity is committed to the salvation of all healthy & adoptable animals. The fund will support all shelter animal needs, shelter reform, rescue groups, fosters, transporters, groups fighting BSL & all the other people & organizations, who work selflessly on the front lines everyday.

 

 

Olivia came from a shelter, & she could have been one of those dogs if not for huMom. Infact, all of huMom’s furmily once lived at a shelter or sanctuary & some where found on street.  This is why we always pawmote, adopt, don’t shop.  Please visit their website to learn more.  An Act of Dog.

 

 

Have a purrfect week!

Remember to be gnawsome, be kind & stay safe.
