5K raised to name a BC and Alberta guide dog puppy after my dad – Friday, November 9, 2018.

Cherry Lane Canines and cats has been a labour of love. The love of the dog, and the cat. I am the artist Margaret Halsey. this is the second fence project. ( I do still paint on canvas and paper scenery and dogs and cats).

there are over 100 faces on the two fences. it has been for the love of the dog and cat and to promote awareness to their importance. ( the mission of Citizen Canine Companion). it is doing that every day people walk by.

Also it has raised money for BC and Alberta Guide dogs and Autism support dogs ( my cause of choice) and I have been able to name a puppy after my dad Bert. puppy is Bertie.

Thanks for visiting!

I am a self-taught artist. I followed a business career with art always being my passion. I will be sharing updates about my work and stories in this place, so visit often.
