I think I can speak for everyone when I say this has definitely been a busy, interesting summer, for myself included. In addition to COVID-19 disrupting any sense of normalcy we've ever had, I've been:
Co-founding an upcoming nonprofit organization The Reflection Zone with other amazing activists
Helping to organize (socially distanced) Black Lives Matter protests in my hometown
Collaborating with my peers to create a new student-led organization
Finishing up my grad school summer semester
Helping my boyfriend pack up & move out of his house
Relaxing before the next semester begins!
Even through all of this activity, I feel that August invites a sense of slowing down, wrapping up projects, and preparing for the transition into fall. Settling in to the end of summer can be bittersweet, but also comforting knowing that a time of renewal is just around the corner. Even though I'm always sad to see summer go, I still love August because...
August brings my birthday, which is ALSO National Dog Dayđ This year, in celebration (if you didn't already know!), for every custom portrait ordered during August, 10% of the profits will be donated to CPR Dogs in Southbury, CT. Additionally, on August 26th (Birthday/Nat'l Dog Day!), 50% of all print sales will be donated to CPR Dogs, as well.
I first chose this organization to donate to during last year's holiday season, and since then I have developed such a fondness for the team and their organization. Every time I post about them, I discover more people I know who have adopted from them and had the best experience. Consider them if you're looking to adopt! And if you've been thinking of ordering a custom portrait and love dogs just as much as I do, this is the perfect time. đ¶

For portraits ordered August 1st - August 31st. Cannot be combined with any other offer.
