Adopt a Greyhound Atlanta Online Auction!
Adopt a Greyhound Atlanta is holding an online auction fundraiser at WWW.GREYTAUCTIONS.ORG from now until May 29th! Come check out the “grey” items that we have for you and for your pet! We have collars, t-shirts, statues, hats, artwork and more!!! Not all of the items are greyhound related (although we have plenty of those too!) so even if you don’t have greys, please come check out the auction! Some things up for auction include:
* A one-hour photo session for your pet and/or you with fabulous Atlanta photographer Pat Thomas of Photophetish!
* An original painting by local Atlanta artist Stephanie Miller of Seurat’s “Grande Jatte” with hounds!
* A set of five cute holiday collars by BigOrangeDog Designs!
* An amazing, one-of-a-kind handmade purse with a running dog!
And much more!
Adopt a Greyhound Atlanta has been finding loving homes for greyhounds for 24 years, and has placed 3400 dogs in the Atlanta area. We are a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization, dedicated to educating the public about greyhound adoption and uniting loving owners with loving pets.
AAGA has been hit with some very high medical expenses recently, and we are hoping that this auction will help offset these somewhat. For example, we just incurred a $1500 vet bill to set the leg of a little guy named Sebastian. AAGA typically takes only retired racing greyhounds, but occasionally we will take in a whippet or Italian greyhound that has been abandoned. This is Sebastian’s story. He is a sweet little 6-lb boy whose owner went off to college, and the owner’s parents decided they didn’t want to keep him. He had been with us a few weeks when he leapt out of the arms of the person holding him, landed off-balance, and broke 2 bones in one of his legs. We know we will find a loving home for our little Sebastian, but he will remain in our care until his leg heals.
We know that this online auction will be a huge success because of the generosity of people like you! We hope you see something that you love! We also welcome donations (info on where to send can be found on our website). Anything you can spare will help our adoption efforts, and every penny raised goes directly to caring for these sweet dogs.
We thank you so much! And the hounds thank you even more!
