As this is out 101st Shelter Sketch, I couldn’t resist picking a Dalmatian mix.
Meet Rosie
Rosie is a sweet, loving nine year old female. As you can see she’s a Dalmatian mix and has an adorable smile! There isn’t much information on her Petfinder page, but you can contact the shelter and ask about #DWL121508 if you have any questions. Rosie deserves a great forever home!

I hope everyone who hasn’t already will take time to celebrate Earth Hour tonight. 
Meet Snowy
Snowy is a young female bull terrier/dalmatian mix. As sometimes happens with all-white dogs and cats, she is deaf. She certainly isn’t hindered by that, though. She knows a number of hand signals and is responsive to the expressions and body language of the people around her. Like many other young dogs, Snowy loves to play and go for walks, and gets along well with other dogs and children. She even shares toys and food with other dogs and is housebroken. Curious and intelligent, Snowy sounds to me like the perfect dog. Anyone who adopts her will be very, very lucky!

I came across this girl on Facebook a couple weeks ago, and I knew I had to sketch her portrait.
Meet Grace
I don’t know much about Grace’s past. The coordinator at TN Death Row Dogs, which is the group taking care of Grace, said that she was left at a shelter after being beaten. Apparently she had blood on her forehead and near one ear, and both eyes were swollen shut. Grace also has a bad case of Entropion, a condition in which one or both eyelids fold inward and the eyelashes rub against the eye. She has been vaccinated and found to be heart worm negative, and underwent surgery on her eyelids a few days ago. The vets aren’t sure yet if a second surgery will be necessary, but Grace is doing well aside from some swelling.
She’s a bit cautious around people, but is very calm and gentle. She’ll be ready to go into a foster or forever home soon, where she can finally get the love she deserves. Can you give her a home, or perhaps donate toward her medical expenses?

Apologies for the very late post this week! I’m waiting on some information for the next featured animal, so in the meantime I’ll post Shelter Sketches’ first bird.
Meet Amiga
Amiga is a ten year old female Blue and Gold Macaw. As these birds can live so long, Amiga is still a frisky kid! She is inquisitive and loves to explore and play. She was rescued from a hoarder, but you would never know what she’s been through because of her sweet disposition. Do you have experience with large birds? Can you give this girl a home?

When I was a kid I had this book about all different breeds of cats. I always used to skip the page about Sphynx cats because I thought they were really creepy and scary. Years later, when I was living in Japan, I had the opportunity to actually meet a Sphynx named Moody. She was one of the sweetest cat I’ve ever met, and ever since then I’ve thought that Sphynxes are awesome cats, despite looking like evil aliens. 
Meet Ajel
Ajel is a small adult female Sphynx mix in Tampa, FL. Can you give her a forever home, and maybe a couple kitty sweaters?
