Gallery Pups
Ambassadors of Joy

From left to right: Millie, Stella, and Zeke.

 

Millie was rescued by Hilary four years ago from an abusive caged breeding situation, and they’ve been inseparable ever since. Now that Millie is free and healthy, she loves sunbathing, finding interesting smells on her walks, taking long naps on the bed behind the front desk of the gallery, watching animal documentaries, indulging in treats, and hitting the road with Mom. 

 

Stella was rescued by Paul when she was two. She had been kept in a cage as a breeder then dumped in the country, severly underweight. Love and proper diet changed everything. She likes going for walks, talking naps in the gallery, and going to design meetings with Paul. Stella's also quite knowledgeable about contemporary art. 

 

Zeke was adopted by Josh at a young age and has been spoiled his entire life. He enjoys eating, stealing treats from the other gallery pups, going on walks and runs, and greeting everyone that comes to the gallery. His favorite painter is Wayne Thiebaud, but we’re pretty sure he only likes the dessert paintings.
