Please Help These Two Dogs!

On July 1 two little Chihuahua mix dogs were dumped in mom's Bakersfield California backyard. My sister was there caring for mom that week, and did her very best to find their owners. Now, weeks later its clear they were in fact abandoned! It seems to be a mom and baby, super sweet, cute as can be, and in desperate need of a home! My mom is quite elderly and bedridden. My siblings and I take turns caring for mom which means we are flying in and out from all over the country, so keeping these two at mom's house in Bakersfield is not possible. We have arranged for them to be spayed and have their shots with the help of the local Humane Society. My sister has even offered to fly them across country if the right adopter steps forward. Can you help?

"Bailey," Australian Cattle Dog Painting in Oil by Lara Harris

"Bailey," 5"x7" oil on canvas panel
10% will go to Heeling Hearts ACD Rescue (SOLD, thank you!)

This is a gorgeous Australian Cattle Dog named Bailey...I absolutely LOVE the colors in a Cattle Dog's fur...it's one of God's masterpieces for sure!

Here is a little bit about Bailey:

We got Bailey 12 years ago from East Texas. She had been under a house that caught on fire. The mama dog pulled her out along with the rest of the pups too. She is well behaved, playful and makes us smile as she always has a smile on her face. She loves to cool her paws in the pool on hot Texas days. She is also the peacekeeper among our dogs (we have 3). She is very loyal and keeps a constant eye on our 9 year old twins whenever they play outside.
She is our Bailey aka Bay Bay and we love her very much!

If you are interested in having your dog's portrait done, feel free to contact me!
