Silky Green Chemise by TheAzryllianStar

Since anything goes this month, I'd like to show a little love to this celadon green chemise by TheAzryllianStar.

I donate a portion of my profits to a couple different animal charities, mostly the local spay/neuter program that I have been working with to get our feral cat population under control. And as part of that work, I became a rescue mom to my sweet kitty Liz, and I'm also fostering a sweet old soul, Butterscotch, whom I recently rescued with the help of a local spay/neuter organization.

Violet Days Print by JenniferLynnProducts

 This print by JenniferLynnProducts fits the theme, because it's "anything goes!"

Jennifer no longer takes in animals, but she still helps out when and as she can by donating funds or items to various rescues, helping to spread the word via social media, and helping with on-the-ground rescue efforts when she can. Additionally, a portion of Jennifer's sales goes to the Team EFA Charity of the Month, as well as other animal causes.

Owl Headband and Dog Collar Set by jessicalynneart

This owl headband and collar set will surely get a few glances and giggles on your daily walks with your pet. I made James Dean the collar and envied his adorableness so much that I just had to make myself a human-sized version of the accessory. When it comes to our fashion senses, it is true that "anything goes," making this a fun fit for the August challenge.

At least $1 from every sale by jessicalynneart is donated to the Pug Rescue of New England or the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA). I also enjoy donating card sets and collars to auctions that raise money for rescues. My current project is to raise money for the MSPCA's 2012 Walk for Animals. Anyone in the New England area is welcome to join the All You Need is Pug team and walk with us on Sept. 9 and all are invited to sponsor our team and helps us to assist animals in need. The money raised by the walk is used to fund the MSPCA's shelters, animal protection advocacy work, and medical facilities.

OOAK 2D Boxer Portrait by sunnypines

This one of a kind 2D wood picture of boxer dogs is one of my absolute favorite pet portraits. This picture was done by sunnypines for a very dear friend of mine. These 2 dogs are so adorable, I loved painting them. Although this is a custom portrait of 2 Boxers, I would love to do a custom portrait of your precious babe just for YOU. I always try to capture the personality of the pets in all my pictures. My passion and devotion for animals is put into each of my pictures, making them a truly one of a kind. These are unique, 2D pictures made entirely of wood (pine lathe on plywood).

I donate 10% of my sales to a local rescue/shelter, COTM, or give my custom order clients the opportunity to select a charity of their choice.

Coral Fossil Pendant by TashinkaBeadingHeart

This necklace by TashinkaBeadingHeart fits the theme of "Anything Goes" and it is one of my favorite necklaces. I believe it falls so gracefully and the colors are so perfectly suited to one another. It has a big, bold look but is, I believe, very classy.

I have volunteered at a no-kill cat rescue shelter in previous years, enjoying it vastly, including fostering of kittens. It's amazing I didn't end up taking half the cats home with me - very tempting, there are so many worthy cats and dogs at shelters! I currently have at home three rescued cats.

Currently, I belong to many organizations that benefit animals, such as PETA, North Shore Animal League, Defenders of Wildlife, and many more and post many petitions on social media - as so many of us do - for the protection of animals, wild and domestic, the world over. I also am sure to visit and click on theanimalrescuesite.org every single day to contribute to "free (to you) donations" to animal shelters in need. And, of course, I am a member of Team EFA - looking forward to making some sales with EFA tagged items!

Marmite Jewelry Trinket Box by LuniqueUK

Marmite (a.k.a. Vegemite) is supposedly a love/hate food but as this month 'Anything goes' I'm making this one of a kind trinket box my contribution to the challenge!

I donate 10% off all Etsy sales from LuniqueUK to the Born Free Foundation and also support local animal charities with donations whenever I can.

Vintage Suitcase Pet Bed by ShortcakeDesigns

This one of a kind pet bed by ShortcakeDesigns is created from a gray vintage American Tourister suitcase and is fitted with a custom cushion providing 4 inches of comfy! A zipper is included in the cushion so that the filling can be changed, decreased, or increased. We just think its Purrrrr-fect!

10% of the sale of this bed will be donated to an animal rescue foundation. Either my local animal center via www.facf.org, or the Etsy for Animals charity of the month. So while you give your furry pal a super chic place to rest, remember you will also be helping numerous shelter animals find their furever homes. Thank you for looking!

Elk Photograph 8x10 by KneeDeepOriginals

This is one of my favorite pieces. This photograph by KneeDeepOriginals is full of soft light and features kinship with and respect for the natural world, and of course, it is ripe with the importance of companionship, even among the elk. It speaks to my desire to help people understand the beauty of these animals and all wildlife, to respect the world around us, and to be aware of our individual actions in regard to the outcome and consequences of human behaviors throughout the animal kingdom and our planet. It is a reminder to "walk in harmony with the universe." This is often my intent with my art, and it is why I donate a percentage of my artwork featuring animals, and often other nature pieces, to a variety of animal charities.

Blue Boy Cat Painting by LolaLynn

50% of the purchase price of LolaLynn's brush paintings goes to support Courageous Cats of Long Island. Maria and her team rescue and do TNR on ferals. We have adopted from Courageous Cats twice now with the recent addition of Pippa, our polydactyl. My shop also participates in EFA's Charity of the Month program.

Saluki Dog Art Mouse Pad by terikor

As our August Monthly Challenge Theme is "Anything Goes", I decided to share my breed of dog, the Saluki. Not only am I sharing the Saluki breed but also I am featuring an item that depicts one of my own Salukis. I chose to share a mouse pad of my Saluki, Zoe. Zoe was lure coursing when this picture was taken. I was so enamored by the photo that I decided to create a drawing based on the image. One can see by the smile on her face that she loves to run. This drawing is so special to me that I have used it to create many artsy products including this mouse pad. Actually I use this particular mouse pad at my desk so that I know Zoe is always with me.

The Saluki is the oldest recognized breed. Salukis come in many different colors but I prefer the Grizzle color because the mask around the face gives Salukis so much character. Salukis go back to the time of the Pharaohs. They were bred to hunt rabbits and gazelle. They are born to run but at the same time are very much the couch potato. Watch out they love to hog the bed.

A percentage of all my sight hound and Saluki items from terikor go to the benefit of Stola, Saluki Tree of Life. This is the national rescue organization for Salukis. Besides donating to Stola, I have fostered Salukis for them. Stola also calls on me to do home checks on potential homes in the Los Angeles area. Salukis have become such an integral part of my life giving me pleasure and unconditional love that I feel it is so important in my small way to give back to those Salukis in need.

Run With The Big Dogs Bandana and Collar Set by AstridNicoleEtcetera

The item is a sampling of our collars and bandanas that are made by AstridNicoleEtcetera for dogs, fitting the 'anything goes' theme for August.

Having a desire to give back to the shelter that took such good care of our dog Astrid while she was a guest of theirs, every item we create benefits them.

Love Blooms Print by kellywarrenphotoart

This lovely print was submitted by kellywarrenphotoart for our Anything Goes challenge.

My animal charity work: I'm one of two lead volunteer photographers for the city of Jacksonville's Animal Care & Protective Services. I photograph the animals in the shelter for the website and Facebook page. You can take a look at some of my more recent shots here.

Maine Motif Hat by knitbyvalerie

I made this hat for my shop after I made a version for myself and loved how it turned out! This hat by knitbyvalerie is striped and features a subtle motif of my home state of Maine. It's made from sport-weight sock yarn, so it's soft and squishy and perfect for fall.

I am the daily main blog promoter for our fine team as well as supporting local shelters with my shop. A minimum of 10% of all sales (both on Etsy and "in real life") is donated to a trio of local rescues, all of whom I have adopted from.

Incognito Rabbit with a Mustache by thebluewindmill

This is an original mixed media art piece by thebluewindmill of a rabbit hiding amongst the cacti in the Arizona desert. This fits the them because "anything goes".

I serve as the EFA challenge leader, perform service work for animals through petitions, house my own rescue, and help feed the stray animals and wild birds in the neighborhood.

8x10 Cat Watercolor Painting by ThimbleSparrow
