JACK
SENIOR SURVIVOR A BVSPCA hurricane rescue at ten years old, Storm’s foster mom quickly “failed” in the most successful way. Storm loves riding in the car to get ice cream and enjoys having toast with her grammy in the morning. She loves attention from the neighborhood kids, which gives her the opportunity to educate about the misconceptions of “pitbull-type” dogs.

SOUL SISTERS Saki and Saya are adoptive sisters from BVSPCA. They have completely accepted each other as family and will regularly play and cuddle the day away. Saki lost an eye to infection while she was at the shelter, but that doesn't stop her from being one of the happiest and friendliest cats ever. Saya pretends to be more dignified, but she still gets into all kinds of mischief with her sister.

SUPER SNUGGLER Pearl was adopted from the BVSPCA, and she adores her forever family. As soon as her dad gets up to shower in the morning, Pearl jumps into bed with mom, where she stays leaning against her legs until she gets up. A smart girl, she can also “give paw” for a treat.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, AND LAST Jack was rescued in Florida in 2013 when his owners saw him as an adoptable at a pet parade. As soon as they laid eyes on him, they knew they wanted to make him part of their family. After many wonderful years, Jack sadly passed late last summer four days before his eleventh birthday.

About the Artist
About Brandywine Valley SPCA
Claudia Langmaid generously donated her time and talents to paint the 13 pets shown in this calendar. Claudia lives with her husband and three children in West Chester, PA with their two dogs and three cats. She has a BA in Visual Arts from Rutgers University, and for as long as she can remember, her passions have been creating art and working with animals. Claudia began drawing as soon as she was old enough to hold a crayon and never looked back. Claudia enjoys painting in a vibrant, colorful style which is playful and fun yet still realistic. Her extensive knowledge and background with animals allows her to capture their spirit and personality.
The Brandywine Valley SPCA cares for more than 14,000 animals each year across the entire state of Delaware and Chester County and Delaware County in Pennsylvania. That’s more than 40 incoming animals daily — cruelty victims, lost pets, owner surrenders, and transfers from overcrowded shelters.
Checkout Claudia’s work at claudialangmaidstudio.com. To have Claudia paint your furry friend, contact her at uniqueclaudia@aol.com or by calling 484-678-6972.
The BVSPCA is the first open admission, no-kill shelter in Pennsylvania and Delaware, and the organization led Delaware to becoming the first no-kill state in the country. The BVSPCA also helps pet families with low-cost, full-service veterinary services. Dover · Georgetown · New Castle · West Chester W W W. B V S P C A . O R G
