I'm so glad to be able to sponsor another shelter animal this month. I plan on continuing to sponsor a shelter animal in need every month with some of the profits I make from my art. I sponsor these animals through the Petfinder.com Sponsorship program. This month, I chose an American Staffordshire Terrier mix named Nikita. She (and many others!) are available for adoption through the Southern Ontario Animal Rescue. Here's what they have to say about Nikita:

I'm an 8 year old gal and real sweet! My parents have found themselves in a situation where they cannot keep me after 8 years so I need a place to relax in my golden years.


She loves to play with a ball and chase a laser pointer.

She comes when she's called.

She's clean in the house.

She's not destructive in any way (except with the odd stuffed animal).

She loves to go for walks but is also content to curl up
beside you on the couch while you watch TV.

She gets so excited to see you when you come home from being away but NEVER EVER jumps up on you all she does is wag her whole body.

She takes treats so gently from your hand that a child can safely give her small cookies and she would never grab anything that is not offered to her.

She really doesn't require a lot of exercise but if you are an active person, she'll be more than willing to go for a nice long walk with you.


If you are able to open up your home to Nikita, she is available for adoption through the Southern Ontario Animal Rescue. If you are looking for a new pet, please check your local shelter and rescue listings - there are so many wonderful animals desperately seeking their forever home.
