The Story of Zev Valentine
The "Zev Fund" project was started in February of 2008 and has since been completed. In February of 2008 I rescued a pit bull mix from Lake County Animal Care & Control who was scheduled to be euthanized. He was plagued with heart worms and internal parasites, which were unable to be treated in the shelter.
In order to save him, I raised over $1,500 by painting pet portraits and selling prints. Today, Zev is a happy and healthy pit bull who is also a therapy dog. He visits schools, hospitals, and various organizations where he acts as an ambassador for his breed.
Since his adoption he has earned the title of "All Around Wonder Dog", has been featured in the news, become really good at fly ball and now has a little sister named Mooshie. I plan on working on a children's book featuring this fine fellow shortly.
