Support the fundraiser for Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Center (BARCS) and receive a “poorly drawn portrait” of your pet! Make sure to share your silly pet portraits with us so we can all share in the laughs. 😹
🎨 Poorly Drawn Pets is BACK, and your pet deserves to be immortalized in all their gloriously questionable artistic glory. Keep reading, you’ll want to “paws” and learn how to participate!
✨ PARTICIPATE: To get a digital portrait of your pet, you must use this form: https://pci.jotform.com/form/261206455690154 . The form allows you to upload your pet’s photo and pay with a credit card. If you prefer PayPal, you can donate through Facebook—but your photo must still be submitted through the form so we can track your entry. It’s $20 per pet’s face, and each pet must be submitted separately. *TL;DR: If you don’t fill out the form, you won’t get a drawing. 😛*
🔹THURSDAY BONUS: After submitting through the form, you’re welcome to post your pet’s photo in this post's comments. (Please note: this should be the SAME photo that you submitted on the form). Some of our artists will be doing live drawings throughout the day and MAY select pets from the comments. This is just for fun and visibility—not all Facebook comments will be drawn. Only form submissions are guaranteed a portrait.
🖌️ Portraits will be emailed to you from [email protected] as they’re completed. Please be patient—our artists will be working through the summer to finish thousands of drawings. All portraits are digital; we cannot provide physical copies.
Whether your pet ends up looking like a masterpiece or a muttsterpiece (yeah, we’re stretching the puns), your donation helps care for the 12,000 animals who come through BARCS each year. Thank you for supporting this ridiculous, beloved, and totally Baltimore tradition.
