Stormy & Shanon - Commissioned Portraits

Stormy is a female American Bulldog. My Client adopted Stormy from her previous owner several years ago. He could no longer keep her for numerous reasons, none of which were Stormy's fault. Her huge head and 90 lbs of pure muscles makes you think twice about approaching her - but make no mistake, Stormy is has sweet and cuddly as a puppy. A few of her favourite things are belly rubs, Grandma's treats, her daily walks and Shannon, her little BFF Schnauzer companion.

Shannon is a senior Miniature Schnauzer. Like Stormy, she was surrendered by her owners. They were moving into a seniors residence and could no longer keep her. She would have been at risk of being put to death because of her advanced age. Since then, she has become blind, but is still very healthy and full of spirit. With the help and companionship of Stormy, she manages very well. Aside from her human mom's affection, Shannon's favorite thing is eating.
