So come show some love to your animal companion\, and share it with all of the fur babies who are looking for new homes! It’s a win-win for animal lovers all around. \nThis is a non-alcoholic\, bring your own drinks and snacks event. \nFirst\, Grab your tickets before the cutoff date! Follow the photo submission instructions\, and then come meet us in Dover on the day of the event to paint your pet! (P.S. You can paint any pet you have\, it doesn’t have to be a dog or cat!) \nWe’ll have a pre-sketched canvas waiting for you\, and a mix of general and one-on-one instruction to help you bring your fur-baby to life on the canvas! \nBe sure to choose a photo that features your pet filling most of the frame. (We won’t be painting complex backgrounds for this event!) Please submit a photo with only one pet. \nTip: \nIf you are painting a pet with mostly black OR white fur\, consider using a photo with an interesting light source. It is easier to paint their fur if you can see some color reflected on it. (And prettier\, too!) \nSimple objects\, like doggy santa hats and tennis balls can be a great feature to have in your photo! They also take some of the pressure off of the portrait itself. \nYou are welcome to use realistic colors\, or take a more creative approach to Paint Your Pet! \n*Only one pet per canvas/ticket. \n\nShow up early to grab drinks & a bite to eat–and give your week something to shout about. \nTotal Price of this experience includes an Experience Fee. \n\n\n \n Sign Up Here!

DESCRIPTION:Are you ready for a pet portrait with some serious paw power? \n\n\n\n\nPaint Your Pet: Capture your beastie’s best side\n\n\nA portion of each ticket sold will be donated directly to PMHS-CV! So come show some love to your animal companion\, and share it with all of the fur babies who are looking for new homes! It’s a win-win for animal lovers all around. \nThis is a non-alcoholic\, bring your own drinks and snacks event. \nFirst\, Grab your tickets before the cutoff date! Follow the photo submission instructions\, and then come meet us in Dover on the day of the event to paint your pet! (P.S. You can paint any pet you have\, it doesn’t have to be a dog or cat!) \n We’ll have a pre-sketched canvas waiting for you\, and a mix of general and one-on-one instruction to help you bring your fur-baby to life on the canvas! \nBe sure to choose a photo that features your pet filling most of the frame. (We won’t be painting complex backgrounds for this event!) Please submit a photo with only one pet. \nTip: \nIf you are painting a pet with mostly black OR white fur\, consider using a photo with an interesting light source. It is easier to paint their fur if you can see some color reflected on it. (And prettier\, too!) \nSimple objects\, like doggy santa hats and tennis balls can be a great feature to have in your photo! They also take some of the pressure off of the portrait itself. \nYou are welcome to use realistic colors\, or take a more creative approach to Paint Your Pet! \n*Only one pet per canvas/ticket.  \n\nShow up early to grab drinks & a bite to eat–and give your week something to shout about. \nTotal Price of this experience includes an Experience Fee. \n\n\n \n Purchase Tickets URL:https://popememorialcvhs.org/event/paint-your-pet/ LOCATION:Pope Memorial Cocheco Valley Humane Society\, 221 County Farm Road\, Dover\, NH\, 03820\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://popememorialcvhs.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/October-13.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Pope Memorial Humane Society":MAILTO:events@popememorialcvhs.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20241013T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20241013T160000 DTSTAMP:20260420T102354 CREATED:20240912T151632Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240926T201723Z UID:20196-1728813600-1728835200@popememorialcvhs.org SUMMARY:Howl for the Animals DESCRIPTION:Howl for the Animals is back!! \n\n \n\nThrow on your costume and help us celebrate the Halloween season at Haunted Overload for our annual Howl for the Animals! \nThis is a family-friendly event (no scary monsters!) appropriate for kids of all ages.
