a bit about Change Unleashed!
Twin Cities Caricatures has made giving back to organizations and communities a priority. The Caricatures for a Cause program was developed in the fall of 2018. We are proud to expand it by having an ongoing presence at Downtown Dogs and Dog's Day Out and lending a paw to their Change Unleashed! initiative.
These two sister businesses partner with a different, nonprofit animal organization to raise awareness and funds for their work in our community. From September 8th to December 31st, 2025, Downtown Dogs and Dog’s Day Out invites its customers to join their Change Unleashed! initiative in supporting The North Minneapolis Pet Resource Center (NMPRC).
Located less than three miles from Downtown Dogs and Dog’s Day Out in a new location, 2825 N 2nd Street in North Minneapolis, NMPRC is a community-based hub that provides free pet food, supplies, and support to families in need.
The nonprofit was created in 2019 to remove barriers to pet ownership and help keep pets with the people who love them most. NMPRC distributes 20,000-30,000 pounds of pet food and cat litter each month while also connecting families to veterinary care, spay/neuter services, and crisis resources.
NMPRC meets people where they are, strengthening both human and animal well-being in North Minneapolis and beyond.

TRADITIONAL
Traditional caricatures are drawn by hand on paper and are a combination of black marker outlines and simplified color using colored pencils. This is the best format for those that love handmade art, and love the texture of a hand drawn picture.
DIGITAL
Digital caricatures are hand drawn on an iPad. The look of this style is similar to a traditional drawing, usually with black outlines and simplified color. This is a great format for those looking for a more modern or sleek image, or need a print-ready image.
"RUFF" sketch
Ruff Sketches are an even sillier way to capture you or your pet. These sketches are done in less than half the time of our traditional drawings and are meant to be as silly as possible!
We donate the same portion of these drawings to the quarterly Change Unleashed! partner as well! Ruff Sketches are $10 per face.
COLORING FOR A CAUSE
Our Coloring for a Cause coloring book contains 20 different dog breeds, an accompanying “accessory” for you to color, and some facts about each breed as well! For $10 you can order a physical copy or a digital download.
We can also customize the back cover with a black and white line drawing of you or your pet! Limit 1 face per coloring book and it is an additional $10.
Don't forget to add this fun coloring book to your order!
