🎨🐾The 5th Annual Biting Back NYC Art Show Fundraiser was a hit! The room was filled with creativity, compassion, and a community that truly believes animals deserve a second chance. A very special thank you to @bitingbacknyc for organizing such a powerful event and bringing together an extraordinary group of artists. To every artist who donated their time, talent, and artwork to support animals in need - we are so deeply grateful. Your creativity helped turn compassion into action, and your generosity will directly help save lives. We’re also incredibly thankful to the amazing @wagboneclub and @rockawaybrewco , along with all of the wonderful sponsors who helped make the evening possible. And of course, thank you to our incredible volunteers, fosters, and staff, who continue to show up day after day for the animals who need us most. Finally, thank you to our community for coming out, supporting the artists, and standing with rescue. Nights like this remind us just how powerful compassion can be when people come together.... #BecauseTheyMatter

Photos from this year’s Biting Back Animal Fundraiser Art Show. I was invited to participate and created a small interactive piece for the event — 50 custom dog tags with my logo, each available to “adopt” for $5 to support @bitingbacknyc . One tag had WINNER on the back, and whoever found it took home a signed print. Great crowd, great dogs, and a lot of support for rescue work. Always a good night when the room is full of people who love dogs. 📍 Wag + Bone Club — Long Island City 🎧 Music by DJ Brad Scott @bitingbacknyc @wagboneclub @nycscr

Oh hello! I’m Amber Lorraine and I’ve been living my best life in sunny Florida with 4 cat siblings, 2 cat cousins and my new family since 2023 🐶🩷 💖 I was invited along with other pup influencers to attend a fundraiser in NYC given by @bitingbacknyc back in February, but unfortunately I was unable to travel due to a scheduling conflict. Instead I donated yummy pup cup treats for all the attending guests to enjoy🍦I heard they were a hit! ✨ A generous sponsor donated hand-picked pet fashion accessories from their beautiful collection for each of the influencers and their adoring mom, and my mom and I were also given a lovely set. We’ve been wearing our Pawsbury Lane accessories everywhere we go and get so many compliments on the pretty Daisy Blush pattern 🌼 Mom commented on how sturdy and well-made the leash is compared to any she’s had before, so no chance I’ll be getting away! 💛 Sending huge fluffy hugs and deepest thanks to Christine @pawsburylane for the lovely gesture. We were very touched to be included and are really enjoying wearing the scrunchie and leash. Dad took the bandana 😁 #malteseofinstagram #influencer #adoptdontshop #pawsburylane #petfashion
