A white van parked in a parking lot with a graphic design promoting a dog rescue organization called Paws it Forward. The van features a large image of a happy, black and tan dog with its tongue out, and multiple smaller images of different dog breeds. The van displays logos of sponsors and partners, including Edward Jones, Fountain Tire, and Okanagan Veterinary Hospital. The sky is overcast, and the background shows a building and some trees.
