Isabel Hebert may only be six years old, but her artwork has already earned over $1,000.

Not that she's keeping the money.

B.C.'s Hebert draws pet portraits to raise money for the Small Animal Rescue Society of BC (SARS), according to her Facebook fan page.

When people donate $10 to SARS, they can email Isabel a portrait of their pet, which she will then draw a portrait of and mail back to the owner (with the help of her mother). Hebert herself has a foster rabbit named River from SARS, and was raising money to help the organization pay for her pet's vet bills.

SARS rescues small animals in need and then adopts them out for anywhere between $5 to $90, depending on the animal.

While the fundraiser is currently closed, fans are encouraged to like Isabel's Facebook page to keep up-to-date on when she'll be back in business (which, according to Global News, will be this summer).

SARS volunteer executive director Lisa Hutcheon told The Province that Isabel is "a beacon of light."

"This little girl whips out her crayons and she's changing the world."
