PAWSitively PETrageous Partners with TCWC & A-Pal
The owner/artist of PAWSitively PETrageous is now donating her time, talents and expertise to create products in the Zazzle Marketplace for the two Non-Profit Animal Rescue Organizations in her county. 100% of the proceeds on sales of items sold through this new store PawsNClaws will go directly to helping Tri County Wildlife Care (wildlife rescue & rehabilitation) and A-Pal Humane Society of Amador County.
"For the past several years, I've donated my time and talent to A-Pal's Whiskers & Wine fundraising dinner by creating the 'tear-jerking' DVD shown at the event to help open the attendees hearts and wallets. Prior to that, I spent six years as the Director of Public Relations and Ways & Means for Tri County Wildlife Care ... so both organizations have always been close to my heart.
This is an exciting venture and one that will help bring both organizations not only much needed funding, but will bring these organizations to the living rooms of animal lovers all over the world. We hope you may consider helping us by giving us permission to use your artwork, design, or photograph on apparel, gift items, stationery products and home decor in an effort to build a long-term fundraising income for these very deserving organizations." - Doreen Erhardt
PLEASE READ before submitting!
What We're Looking For ...
- To support A-Pal: Photographs, paintings, drawings in any medium, of pets. Dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, even
small critters such as bunnies, Guinea pigs/hamsters and ranch friends such as horses.
Please see image requirements below.
- To support TCWC: Photographs,
paintings, drawings in any medium of wildlife native to Northern California,
such as; songbirds, raptors and owls, coyotes, fox, squirrels,
deer, ducks, raccoons, mountain lions, bears and so on. Also, because we will be reaching a world-wide audience of general animal lovers, we will consider ALL types of wildlife, even that which is not native or not a native species of our neck of the woods. Please see image
requirements below.
Image Requirements ...
ALL imagery must come to us in high resolution digital format.
Here is what that means:
Photography Submissions
We prefer the originally captured image rather than one which has been modified digitally in any way, including resized, cropped or post-processed. These images are going to be sold on a variety of great products to benefit the animals, the larger the better and sizing will be done by a professional digital/photographic artist to ensure the highest quality standards are kept. Therefore, it's best for you to send us the file as it was taken and recorded by your digital camera.
Tips:
ALL imagery must come to us in high resolution digital format.
Here is what that means:
- We CAN NOT ACCEPT negatives, photographic prints, drawings, paintings, etc.; as we are not able to scan these for you.
- Submissions must be in a digital JPG, PNG, or TIFF format in order for us to use.
- If you scan your own material into digital format, please be sure to read below about size and quality needs.

Therefore, it's best for you to send us the file as it was taken and recorded by your digital camera.
Tips:
- If your digital camera captures at less than 3-MP (mega-pixels), we most likely can not use the images. More resolution (more pixels) will produce more detail in the digital image. More is better for image quality. Pixel images can be reduced in size, but lose quality when they are increased in size … we aren't being picky, it's just a requirement for us to ensure the quality of our printed products to the public marketplace. So for digital camera photographer's we need:
- MINIMUM of 3 Mega Pixel capture please.
- Send the files as they came off the camera if you are capturing in JPG or TIFF
- Please do not resize, crop or post-process in a digital darkroom, we will do all of that based on the determined end-use.
- If you shoot in a RAW format, please save your RAW files as PNG format before sending to us; as we can not read your camera's RAW format files. Why PNG, this is an uncompressed file format so there will be no loss of detail or quality as there is in a JPG which is a compressed file format.
Film-Based Photography and Scanned Artwork
If you still shoot with a film camera, or have images to contribute that were captured on film, you will need to provide us with hi-resolution digital file after scanning the negative, photo or transparency. The same applies for traditionally created artwork.
We can not scan your film, prints or artwork. Places like Staples will often scan these for you for a reasonable fee, if you choose to do that. Should you do your own scanning, please be aware of the following:
