Oklahoma is full of animal rescue centers, sanctuarys and rehabilitation centers. The Little River Zoo located here in my hometown is one of these places. Recently the owner has accumulated a lot of debt and the zoo is no longer available to the public- which is not only cruel to the animals but keeps our local boy scouts and schools from learning about our local wildlife. In addition to that, they are at risk of being shut down. What this means is that the land will be reclaimed and probably turned into a housing district and the animals- some of which are vulnerable or endangered- will be sent to potentially worse facilities and those that aren't in danger of extinction will probably be euthanized. Many of these animals have been in captivity for a while or have injuries that still need tending to so releasing them at the Witchita Mountains isn't exactly an option either.
In order to help them raise money I've started a few projects. I will be making sculptures, watercolors, badges, icons, etc. If I get a commission, 50% of what I charge will go towards the Little River Zoo fundraiser.
Current item list:
*Little River Zoo animal sculptures
*Watercolor of Little River Zoo animals
*Con Badges
*Icons
*Commissions
All are priced at $1 (+shipping if it needs to be shipped). If you wish to add a larger donation, PLEASE do. All of the proceeds will go towards the Little River Zoo in Norman, Oklahoma.
Please feel free to copypasta a link to this journal and feature it in your own. Also, if you want to make a direct donation to the Little River Zoo please do at www.littleriverzoo.com/
Thanks and Blessed Be.

An Update on the Little River Zoo
Posting this is going to be very, very hard. The Little River Zoo here in Norman, OK has officially been shut down. Many have lost their jobs and numerous animals are losing their homes. I have many regrets regarding this issue. I loved the Little River Zoo, yet I never made a single donation until they were in such dire need of help and it was essentially a lost cause. I feel horrible and the wound is only going to be healed with time.
However, there is some very good news I have concerning this situation. The Royal Gauntlet, a performance group and well known falconers that come to the Norman Medieval Faire heard about what was happening.
World's Greatest Shave
I checked my inbox today and saw that the group #AllTheUglyDeviants (https://www.deviantart.com/alltheuglydeviants) had a new journal post. one of the members had this posted and I thought I would pass it around since I don't have the means to donate right now:

Cleaning, Thor, and more Cleaning...
So after I cleared out my hundreds of messages and moved on to do other things I discovered that after only 10 or so minutes of being away from my computer that I had 500+ messages again..... :wtf:
So, regrettably, I've had to remove 30+ watches and while I was at it I cleaned out my favorites so that only my absolute favorites are in there.... In fact, I'm still rummaging through unwanted watches and favorited pieces that I'm not sure why I favorited. It's probably going to take a while to organize and will require a lot of coffee and wasted hours of my life.
Enough of that though. I found a contest you all should join if you're interested
Oops... guess I disappeared.
Sorry about that... I'm rarely on DA anymore and if I am its just to sort through all of my accumulated mail.
I've had a new resurgence though so you'll be seeing a lot more of me. I've joined a few new groups and have new motivations for creating my work.
I'll post more of my work up here soon. First I have to find the cord to my camera and a place with decent enough lighting to actually take them.
My friend ~tarqua (https://www.deviantart.com/tarqua) haven't talked much but I may hire him on again to help me with that.
Other than that I really don't have much else to say.
See you all around DA very soon ^-^
Blessed Be,

Oh, my darling, this is terrible. I read about it on PaganArts' blog and came straight here. You said you do animal sculptures - I've seen that lovely sculpture of Mae and I've decided that I like your style.
I'm not sure what animals you're on about, or even if it's possible, but I'll make you a deal: If you can sculpt a maned wolf (wiki: [link] ) in whatever pose you feel most comfortable with, and paint it according to Reine Kuro's colouration [link] I'll pay you ten dollars for it (plus P&P, obviously).
If, however, you cannot or will not make a maned wolf, I will select some other animal from a list of animals you feel comfortable making and pay you five dollars for it.
I'm copypasting this plea to my own journal and sending out emails to a few non-deviant friends I hope will help.
Blessed Be, and good luck with your cause.
