FARRM ANIMAL ART
Started in 2010, the art initiative is one of Titan and Ellie's longest standing fundraising projects.
​
"We believe that art can save the world. So we put it into action."
​
Zero design experience and the lack of opposable thumbs hasn’t stopped Titan and Ellie’s fine art initiative from raising over $30,000.00 to help animals (and humans) in need. We are the PawCasso Art Program, an initiative of ‘Titan and Ellie to the Rescue’, a non-profit/charitable organization.
2010 - 2019
Titan and Ellie are two rescue dogs that were products of the canine overpopulation crisis. They were neglected, near death, and in dire need of help. They found rescue, were slowly rehabilitated, and became the only artists of their kind to ensure 100% of the proceeds from the sale of their art pieces is donated back to those who need it the most.
Creating art unlike any other in Canada, they’ve expanded their works to include artistic input from rescued chickens, goats, dogs, horses, sheep, reptiles, cats, pigs and various other animals. They create meaningful, metaphoric and truly expressive art using paws, ear prints, hooves, feet and tails.
The artistic process always ensures that the animals' safety and comfort is the top priority and it isn’t uncommon for our fine artists to fall asleep while working. Recently, we have also expanded to include collaboration with established local artists.
The program has since transformed into a multidimensional fundraiser, featuring canvas backgrounds from various local artists, a selection of holiday greeting cards, art with rescued farm animals, holiday ornaments, jewelry, plant pots, magnets and new creations on a regular basis.

Do you see a little something extra on your FARRM artwork?
That is a unique “signature” from one (or more) of our residents. Their “stamp of approval” you might say!​ Our residents are often the focus of, or inspiration for, the artwork we create for our FARRM events, so we want to make sure they get the recognition they deserve.
FARRM artwork that includes prints from our rescued goats, sheep, horses, donkeys, cows, pigs, dogs, and cats are created using a specialized stamp. Each stamp was created using a non-toxic material meant to provide an exact (as possible) replica of the hoof, paw, claw, or foot from those residents interested in participating in the process.​
100% of the proceeds from FARRM art supports the continued care of our residents. Take a little piece of FARRM home with you today!​
