Project Pawcaso: A Visual Display of Human/Animal Connection Community Art Contest Activity due Mar 31st

 

The project requests individuals to make a visual art piece to display the bond between pets and their owners or the bond between animals and people. Individuals may create a drawing, paint a picture, take a photograph, create a collage, or create their representation through any other creative visual means.

Interpretation of the bond between pets and their owners is up to you!

For example, some may choose to focus their art piece on a positive emotion that their pet brings out in them (ex: comfort, joy, amusement, etc.), while others may choose to capture a favorite moment of connection with their pet or an animal (ex: playing fetch, cuddling, etc.) The sky is the limit!

Ultimately, the goal of the project is to highlight that pets are family, and they are valued within a family. For those without a pet, they may feel a connection to animals that they value.


The art will be displayed at the Gardner City Hall and best art will be awarded in April, 2025.

Please submit art by March 31st.

COMMUNITY ACTIVITY FOR THE CHILDREN

 



WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT

Mark your calendars – 

April 26, 2025    9:30 am-NOON


Paws up to help domestic violence survivors and their pets secure safer futures!

Did you know…? According to the largest national survey on pets and domestic violence:


· 97% of survivors reported keeping their pet with them is a critical factor in deciding whether or not to seek shelter

· 50% of respondents went so far as to say they would not consider shelter at all if it meant leaving their pet behind

· Almost 50% reported they feared their abusive partner would harm or kill their pet


The results are clear – supporting survivors’ safety means supporting their furry loved ones too! That’s why we started the Purple Paws Caregiver Program last year. Check us out in The Gardner News!    


In collaboration with other agencies our aim is to bridge this gap in safety support services for survivors residing in Gardner, Ashburnham, Hubbardston, and Westminster. Inspired by other successful pet fostering programs such as Berkshire Humane Society's PetSafe Program, we hope to expand the options for survivors seeking shelter or other exit strategies, but we need your help!!


Join us on Saturday April 26th, 2025, at the Pulaski Dog Park for a day filled with dogs, free goodies, live music, local vendors, resources, raffles and more! Your FREE Paw Walk around the dog park to support this cause will help us to provide the necessary care to keep abused pets safe and healthy until they’re able to be reunited with their owners. If you’d like to donate, please consider becoming a sponsor!


See below to pre-register for the Vendors and donate a raffle basket valued at $25 or more. Pet groomers, veterinarians, pet sitters, pet stores & resources.  Now is the time to show what you have to offer. Say it here.
