Too Big, Too Old, Too Damaged: The Art of Amber Fossey, aka Zepplinmoon

By amin.hameed / April 17, 2026

This heartstring-tugging, adoption-inspiring diptych recently hit a note on social media, so perfectly capturing the plight of unwanted dogs waiting in shelters everywhere.

‘Waiting’ and ‘Chosen’ are a kind of diptych, shares UK-based artist Amber Fossey, better known as Zeppelinmoon. “I first drew ‘Waiting’ to raise awareness that Greyhounds and black dogs were the most likely to be rejected at animal shelters and hence wait the longest,” she says. “I had a huge response with people asking for a happy ending to the story, so that is why I made ‘Chosen.’ Since then, so many kind people have shared their stories with me of their rescue dogs and of how often, in fact, the dogs saved them.”
