And the Winner is.......

Patience of Michigan!!! Congratulations Patience! We can't wait to see your Iconic Dog portrait!

There was quite a bit of excitement leading up to the raffle drawing in San Juan today, and I first want to thank all of the people that purchased tickets - we are so grateful for your contributions to Save a Sato!

Of course, none of this would have been possible without Gwen Rosewater of Iconic Dog, she is a talented artist that has a big place in her heart for street dogs all over the world. Thank you Gwen for your generous donation of the portrait to Save a Sato!

Thanks to our wonderful volunteer Ursula, who had to cut out 579 raffle tickets - with a little help from Puppy the gato!

And here is the raffle drawing in action - thanks again to our photographer Ursula!

Thank you to all that participated! If you did not win and are interested in ordering a portrait from Gwen you can do so by visiting her website - www.iconicdog.com. She will donate 25% of the proceeds from your commissioned portrait to Save a Sato!
