In Need - 7" x 5" oil on hardboard/masonite
This blog post is somewhat different from usual - the painting is for sale as normal and has a donation to charity - also as normal but what is different is that this girl needs a home. She was rescued in the nick of time from being destroyed and is in safety being fostered. However, she needs a loving home of her own. It is because of this that the painting was created and although I am based in the UK, I will be listing it on ebay US in the hope of as much publicity as possible in the country where she lives. If anyone reading this can think of additional ways of publicising her status and need for a home, please do all you can. I think I can do no better than quote what the photographer of this reference photo has written about her.
"This girl was once loved and lived in a home with a couple, even sleeping with them in their bed at night. The woman discovered she was pregnant and they dumped the dog at the pound, stating they did not care what happened to her. This pup would have been put to sleep tomorrow morning had a man named Ryan from Denver not made the trip all the way to Burns Flat, Oklahoma to pick her up today. She is now safe in Colorado Springs, CO. where she will be fostered until a forever home can be found.
This beautiful girl's name is Bryndelyn. She is scared, timid, and shy, and likely really confused; first at an outdoor shelter - not understanding why, a long trip by car (fearfully ducking when passing bridges), and now a new home that's just temporary (note from me: she is now coming out of her shell). Add to this, she has recently had a litter of puppies. She didn't do anything wrong, except to have irresponsible selfish owners. She is about 41 pounds, still needing to gain some weight. 50 pounds should be ideal for her. She has been spayed, so there will be no more puppies for this beautiful girl. Can you find it in your heart to love her and give her the real love and security she deserves? Please share this with anyone who may need a best friend and all the loving they could ever ask for! "

Hi, this is Ryan from Denver. I am the guy who drove to get Bryndelyn. I wanted to let readers know that she is an absolute sweetheart. After being dumped by her family and thrown into caos, she was picked up by some stranger and driven 11hrs to a new city. I knew she was scared and confused, but she was a trooper :) she curled up in the seat next to me and gave lots of kisses. She would duck under all the bridges we went under. After only 11hrs she was my buddy. My current circumstances do not allow me to give her a forever home but I would urge anyone who wants a sweetheart with lots of love to give a forever home.
Thanks so much for taking the time to write about Bryndelyn Ryan. Let's hope that maybe with the extra exposure here and on ebay that there is a chance this sweet girl can find true love at last :)

Love your blog, Anne. The paintings are truly wonderful and the happy endings are heart warming. I'm sure the organizations you donate to are very pleased to be associated with you.
Thanks so much Bobbi. As far as happy endings, I'm so keeping my fingers crossed that this poor dog, who must have been so totally bewildered and lost when discarded by the people she loved, and thought loved her, finds someone to give her the permanent home she deserves.
Anne
