Dog Knose Art

#happyvalentinesday to my sweet boy! Not sure if he’s more annoyed with the toupee or hearing me sing my original song...I love you Garrick. Garrick, I love you. over and over. #greyhoundsofinstagram #greyhound #greyhoundrescue #dogknoseart

Before and after...this amazing nose art was created by Andy. He LOVED to ride in the car and stick his head out the window. Sadly, Andy lost his battle with osteosarcoma recently. However, not before he could leave this treasure behind for his family. @megan_helsel

Before and after....this piece was created by a sweet pup named Tobey. Sadly, he passed away recently but left several masterpieces behind. I took several of his window creations and created a compilation on canvas. The color scheme was based on the color of his coat and used his paw print in the signature. I hope this special piece always brings comfort to his family. #dogknoseart

Mandy’s new year is definitely starting off happy! She is joining her new family today! Will miss this sweet girl! #greyhoundsofinstagram #greyhound #greyhoundrescue #dogknoseart

Happy New Year from these two party animals! #greyhoundsofinstagram #greyhound #greyhoundrescue #dogknoseart #happynewyear

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Tree art provided by the noses of Garrick and Mandy! #greyhoundrescue #greyhoundsofinstagram #greyhound #dogknoseart #merrychristmas

#happynationalblackdogday to my most handsome, regal boy, Garrick! #dogknoseart

Before and after...this framed print was commissioned by Alis McDonald in remembrance of their family pet, Jet. I also received a note card with Jet's design on the front with a sweet photo and message inside. #dogknoseart

Our foster (not-so) Angry Housewife, Wifey (left), found her forever home today! Garrick will miss his cuddle buddy so I will happily oblige! #greyhound #greyhoundsofinstagram #greyhoundrescue #dogknoseart

I’ve been telling Garrick all week that I was getting him a Wifey today. Meet new foster, Angry Housewife, a.k.a Wifey (right)! So far, the courtship is going well. She is a sweetheart and already been giving him kisses!#greyhound #greyhoundsofinstagram #greyhoundrescue #dogknoseart

Our sweet Rizzo was adopted today! She wasn’t with us long but she made a lasting impression. Will miss my bedtime snuggle buddy! #dogknoseart #greyhoundsofinstagram #greyhound #greyhoundrescue

Rizzo has decided this place isn’t so bad....making herself at home. She’s decided the queen bed is a better fit! #dogknoseart #greyhoundsofinstagram #greyhound #greyhoundrescue

Happy National Dog Day! The excitement is too much for Garrick and Rizzo. #happynationaldogday #greyhoundsofinstagram #greyhound #greyhoundrescue #dogknoseart

New foster, Rizzo! This pink lady had her last race a little over a month ago. Time to retire and hang with the gang at The Frosty Palace! #movie #greyhound #greyhoundsofinstagram #greyhoundrescue #dogknoseart

Garrick, aka, Turd Ferguson (when he’s in trouble) got out the door with his pillow before I could grab it out of his mouth! #greyhound #greyhoundrescue #greyhoundsofinstagram #dogknoseart

Our sweet foster, Nerfetta was adopted today! Hopefully, her new greyhound sister will give her some pointers on how to lay on her bed! We’ll miss her but happy she’s found her forever home! #greyhound #greyhoundsofinstagram #greyhoundrescue #dogknoseart

Before and after...this piece was created by BG (Baby Girl). Sadly, she lost her battle with lymphoma in May. She was a foster fail two weeks before her passing. How lucky she was to have a wonderful, caring home at the end of her life. @kristafereal #dogknoseart

New foster Mega Nerfetta, otherwise known as Garrick's half-sister! They share the same Sire, Trent Lee. Trent has 4,458 offspring, 636 which have run in major/feature races. Mega Nerfetta is his 2nd top performer! (Garrick is ranked 144). Nerfetta had 182 races which included winning some prestigious titles such as the 2014 Derby Lane Holiday Distance Stake, 2015 Derby Lane Distance Classic, & 2015 Southland Festival of Stakes Female Sprint. In addition to racing, she found the time to have 14 offspring! I'd say this girl is long overdue for retirement! I'm also giving her a first place prize for most unusual name! Here's a video of Nerfetta at the Distance Classic Final at Derby Lane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvQzbr41kv8

Tomorrow is adoption day for Goodie! He’s heading to Texas where he’ll have a new sister to chase! Will miss this sweet pup. We’ve endured a lot together the past 4 1/2 months and he’ll always have the distinction of being my quarantine foster! #greyhoundsofinstagram #greyhound #greyhoundrescue #dogknoseart

Before and after...quarantine + trips to the park = nose art! Garrick and Goodie have been collaborating....and of course, napping! #greyhound #greyhoundrescue #greyhoundsofinstagram #dogknoseart
