Texas artists unite to create dog and cat art to be auctioned off to benefit animal welfare

DALLAS, Oct. 7, 2014 — (PRNewswire) — The Texas Humane Legislation Network (THLN), a non-profit organization dedicated to the passage of animal welfare legislation in Texas, announces its 2014 'Paws for PURRpose' online art exhibition which  is open for bidding. 

The 27 art works are fiberglass life size dogs and cats that have been painted or decorated by artists from across the state.  Animal welfare supporters and art enthusiasts may browse and bid on the art online through October 17th by linking to the site from the THLN website ( www.thln.org).
