Who are the pets featured in the event invitation and website?The artistic drawings featured in the "Raise the Woof" 2024 logo are drawings of pets who were especially meaningful to two of our supporters. Trudie belongs to Marlys Badzin and her family. Marlys understand the value of pets in a family, and Trudie truly is part of her family. Scooter is one of three cats that make their home with Susan Rohde. Scooter has had his own medical situations, and underwent abdominal surgery where the surgeon replaces the tubes between his bladder and each kidney. His mom and two sister cats are grateful he was able to get the care he needed. Mission Animal Hospital commissioned Argentinian-American illustrator and artist Violeta Rotstein to create Trudie and Scooter's portraits. See more of her work at: www.violetarotstein.com
