Shelter: Pets & People Humane Society
The Painting:
January 15, 2011
Emmi's painting is the fourth in the Shelter Painter project! She's also the first dog to be included. Pets & People was nominated by a visitor to the blog, and as I was browsing the extensive list of pets available for adoption I found this beautiful dog. Her profile describes her as a playful and smart two-year-old lab mix with beautiful golden eyes, which I tried to capture in the painting. :)
In her profile, her foster mom goes on to say:

I don't get many calls on Emmi. I would think with her being mostly Lab she would be considered more, but she is black, and black dogs have a hard time getting adopted. I know there is a perfect, forever home out there for sweet Em!As soon as I read that, I had to paint Miss Emmi. If I ever get a dog of my own, I'll definitely give the black dogs a second look. I wish I could give them all homes!
I'll check on her periodically and update this post when she's adopted.
