As some of you may know, my dog Yukon passed away in early October.
He was my sidekick and always came with me to the studio when I
painted. He passed away very suddenly and left my boyfriend and I
shocked and missing our friend.
Yukon was a rescue dog. We got him from WAGs (Whistler's animal
shelter). He had been very mistreated in the past and was a very shy
dog because of this. Thanks to WAGs though he was rescued from an
abusive situation where he was found with mange, missing teath,
malnutrition, and a bullet in his side. WAGs took him back to their
shelter, treated and loved him, and found him a new home (ours).
Because of the area where WAGs is located, Yukon's story is not
unique. They get a lot of dogs that have had abuse, and who without
them would most likely not live very long.

Since Yukon's death, I have decided that I need to turn this
situation around. SO, I am raising money for WAGs as a memorial for
Yukon, and to help out dogs like him. 100 % of the funds will go to
WAGs. See my facebook page for info on perks of donating (there are
some, so check it out!) www.facebook.com/emilyzimmerman.art
Thanks you everyone for your support! Lets show the the dogs (and
cats!) at WAG that there are people looking out for them!
