I was inspired to sketch another barnyard animal after finding out that Ash and Nikki will be adopting chickens this year!

Meet Thor the Chicken of Thunder

Thor is a large, friendly rooster who was picked up as a stray in Chicago (roaming the streets and calling down lightning on people eating chicken nuggets, perhaps?). He was de-beaked at some point in his life, but that doesn’t detract from his good looks! He was rescued from animal control and is looking for a loving home.

This week’s sketch has one kissable little nose, if you ask me.

Meet Daphne

Daphne is a young female farm pig – not a pot-bellied pig – so she will get big some day! She loves playing with her blue bouncy ball, soaking in the pool, walking on leash, and getting belly rubs. She’s a real goofball around meal times, running and jumping all over the place in excitement! Daphne needs a loving forever home with some room to accommodate her adult size. Do you know anyone who could use a sweet piggy in his or her life?

My quick sketch doesn’t do this pretty girl justice. She has such striking eyes!

Meet Fawn

Fawn is a twelve year-old female in Texas. I don’t know anything else about her except that she was pulled from a kill shelter by Austin Pets Alive! and is being privately fostered. Can you help this lovely lady?

Today’s featured pup was brought to the shelter where I lived until a few months ago. I wish I could be there to somehow help this baby or find those responsible for his condition, but this is all I can do from here. Please help him if you can.

Meet Malachi

Little Malachi is a male pit bull, between 6 and 8 months old. He was found on the side of the road after having been dragged behind a vehicle until the chain around his neck broke. He lost 30-50% of the skin on his body, as well as a lot of blood. Malachi is being cared for at Greystone Pet Hospital, where the doctors have cleaned and bandaged his extensive wounds and have him on fluids, pain killers, and antibiotics. It’s still uncertain if Malachi will even make it, but you can go to Greystone’s Facebook page see a video of him and keep up on his condition.

Malachi is obviously not available for adoption at this time, but please help him and other abused animals in any way you can. Share Malachi’s story, donate to his Chip-In, volunteer at your local shelter to walk and socialize the animals there,  teach your children empathy towards others, call law-makers to demand stronger legal punishment for those who abuse animals. Every one of us must act to show that our society values the well-being of animals and will not tolerate their mistreatment.

Sorry for the lateness of this week’s sketch! I had a busy weekend.

Meet James Bond

The only information I could find on this striking kitty is that he is an adult male domestic short hair mix. But with a name like James Bond he’s sure to be a lady killer! Can you give him a home?
