Colorful artwork adorns the walls of the Puppy Pavilion at McKamey Animal Care and Adoption Center.Local artist Mike Holsomback has gone public with his love of animals.
Holsomback, a Chattanooga State Community College assistant professor, along with some of his students, painted murals of man’s best friend on the walls of a room at McKamey Animal Care and Adoption Center.
According to Tricia Sebes, McKamey spokeswoman, staff members approached Holsomback about sprucing up the Puppy Pavilion that houses the youngest dogs available for adoption. The drab room wasn’t inviting, she said.
But thanks to Holsomback and his students, more than a dozen colorful murals of puppies now decorate the pavilion walls.
McKamey Animal Center also displays original artwork of local artists Dana Shavin and Sylvia McCollum, Sebes said.
