Congratulations!
Debra and Willow have received the Charcoal portrait they won in support of NFSAW’s Calendar Contest! They join a long tradition of winners who are collecting quality traditionally hand drawn pet portraits by ShawnaLee in support of the New Fairfield/Sherman Animal Welfare Society's fundraiser to support the animals!

NFSAW contest: "Pet’s Story: “Willow comes to work Ridgefield Veterinary Center every day with her Mom. Helping the Head of reception is a big job. Willow is a greeter to all who come to the hospital. This is her photo from last Halloween at the hospital. Willow is an energetic, affectionate little girl who loves her dog brother and sister and always enjoys wrestling with the cats in her home after a long day at the office. She will always sit pretty for liver treat and is a constant companion for her human Mom.""

Every year the NFSAW has a calendar contest to raise needed funds in support of the shelter. Willow received 1433 votes landing her the top prize of a Pet Portrait by ShawnaLee!
