🎨🐾 Calling All Local Mural Artists & Creative Hearts! 🐾🎨

The Humane Society of Sumner County could use your talent!

As many of you know, our small building has needed a little extra help with space, so we added a trailer to better support the animals in our care. It has been incredibly helpful, but right now it’s looking a little plain and doesn’t quite blend with the warmth and beauty of our shelter.

We would LOVE to find a volunteer muralist or artist who would be willing to transform the outside of the trailer into something beautiful that coordinates with our building and reflects the heart of our mission 🐶🐱💛

This could become such a special piece for our shelter, something welcoming, cheerful, and full of hope for the pets and families who visit us.

If you are an artist, know an artist, or would love to donate your time and talent to make a lasting difference, please comment below or send us a message. Please also share this post so we can reach the perfect creative person in Sumner County!

Let’s turn this little extra storage space into something beautiful for the animals and our community. 🐾✨

🐾 Meet Tiger 🐾

Tiger is a beautiful 19-year-old sweetheart who recently lost the only home she’s ever known. Her owner who had her since she was just a tiny kitten has passed away, so this has been a big change for her.

Despite everything, Tiger is still very affectionate and loves her food (treats are definitely the way to her heart!). She’s hoping to spend her golden years in a quiet, loving home where she can feel safe and cherished again.

If you have room in your heart for a gentle senior kitty, Tiger would love to meet you and become part of your family. ❤️🐱
