The art encompasses a variety of subjects including animals, florals, landscapes, abstract visions and local landmarks.

The online auction begins on Saturday, March 31 and will continue through Saturday, April 21 until 9pm at: https://www.bitdo.artforthepaws2018  Bids start at just $25 for each piece of art and 100% of the proceeds benefits the animals at Helping Paws.
