This is Tiger, a pit bull who was rescued in California by two rescues working together. When his sad picture came across the internet, with the announcement that he would be killed on Monday, they knew they had to act. This beautiful painting captures the image they saw that day. He spent his entire life on the end of that heavy chain, outside, on cement. They thought he deserved a second chance, and maybe even some love, after his owners broke the law by moving away and abandoning him. Even after all those years on the chain, he turned out to be a loving and gentle soul. He got his second chance, and he found love.
This limited edition “Art with Heart” measures 24"x36", and is shipped rolled. Each piece is individually hand-signed and dated by the artist, and comes with a paper telling Tiger’s story written by comedian/writer/animal activist Elayne Boosler, and his happy “after” picture. The card can be personalized to you, your dogs, or whomever might cherish it as a gift. The poster fits in a standard 24"x36" frame.

Christine J. Head’s sought-after, limited edition
prints and posters have helped numerous rescues raise much needed funds.
Initially, Christine did "hands-on" rescue work, housing several foster dogs and going through the painstaking process of finding the right permanent home for each of these dogs who already found a permanent place in her heart. Eventually, her interests in the creative arts and canine needs combined and she discovered the best way to
apply her talents to raise money and awareness
for animal rescue.
Christine started The Puppy Sketches in 1999 and has been contributing to rescue organizations ever since by creating original and limited edition
posters. Originally, her beautiful portraits of dogs
in need of urgent medical care and adoption accompanied by the dog’s poignant story, raised thousands of dollars for individual rescues.
Currently, Christine’s focus is on highly stylized vintage/Art Nouveau-style posters prints that raise money for multiple breed rescues. These posters
are sold almost exclusively through rescue organizations.
Some notable animal lovers and celebrities who collect her work include actresses Jorja Fox and
Mary Steenburgen, and Comedienne Elayne Boosler.
