Look at all these sweet babies that found their forever home in 2025 through Foothills Canine Rescue, Inc. Thank you for all your hard work.

As this year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Because of your support, my first year in business with Artistic Paws USA has been truly wonderful. Your purchases didn’t just bring joy through cards and gifts, but they made a real difference. Together, we were able to help Foothills Canine Rescue when they needed it most, from building their shelter to caring for more animals in need.

None of this would have been possible without you. Your kindness, encouragement, and love for animals mean more than words can express.

Wishing you all a wonderful New Year.

Paws & Wags,
Cynthia

Today, I pause to honor and thank all who have served our country.

Veterans Day holds special meaning for me, as my husband and several family members have proudly served. Their courage, sacrifice, and love of country remind me every day of the freedoms we’re blessed to enjoy.

To all the men and women who have worn the uniform, thank you for your bravery, your service, and your dedication.
