Painting event raising funds for ‘Dogs on Deployment’

CARMEL, Ind. (WISH) — Painting and pets might seem like an unlikely pair, but this Tuesday Painting with a Twist will host an event to help pets in need of a home away from home.

Painting with a Twist located in Carmel will host Painting with a Purpose to support the non-profit organization Dogs on Deployment.

Proceeds will go toward the organization, who’s mission is to help pets find a home while their owners are deployed in the armed services. The organization says their mission is to give military members a peace of mind about their pets while they are serving our county.

Volunteers will board their pets while they are deployed. The organization promotes life-long pet ownership for military members.

The event starts at 7 p.m. Supplies are included with the $35 fee. All you need to do is bring a friend and create a unique piece of art to take home.

A portion of the proceeds will go to Dogs on Deployment. To register for the class click here or for more information on Dogs on Deployment click here.
