Mary and James have been running a small animal shelter in New York for thirty years. Sixty dogs and cats that no one else wanted—too old, too sick, too damaged for anyone to take them in. But shelters don't run on love. They run on money. And right now, they're running out.

Why we make them

When donations dried up, Mary and James began handcrafting lamps and animal figurines. Each piece sold means another day of food, another dose of medicine, another chance at survival for a rescued animal. This is not a side activity. This is how the shelter stays open. When you buy a piece, you are not just acquiring a work of art—you are directly financing the shelter. You are saving animals.
