You are welcome to bring any other donations for the pets at the animal shelter should you wish to, food, blankets, toys, etc. and they will be collected and given to the animal shelter after the event.
You will need to provide a picture of your pet no later than 7days in advance to the class so Amber will have time to sketch it for you.
