At long last, an auction for people who aren’t on facebook!! Mieke van Erp is raising funds for a half dozen rescue associations and Dutch Galgo Lobby. This is the link to the auction website – some beautiful items.
Here are the details of how the auction works. The homepage in is Belgian, this is an English translation.
There’s an auction running this week on Facebook organised by Slovenia Sighthound World to raise funds in response to the Scooby appeal. Whilst the information is not in English, you can quite clearly see the beautiful items on offer. Larisa of SSW says
‘If people from abroad want to bid and need more information about the auction or the items offered, in English language, if they contact us on galgo@hrtjisvet.org and we will gladly assist them. Information about the payment and delivery will be discussed individually, after they place an offer. Payment for the items will be via paypal and the items will be sent via DHL or other post services, but the postal charges must be paid by the people to successfully bid the item. If you need some other information, please email us.’
Sighthounds for Life are now running a mini-auction in aid of Galgos del Sol. There are lots of wonderful items, including some beautiful leather collars made by Toni Collard, paintings, jewellery. Please take a look and BID!
Just a word, you need to register with Sighthounds for Life before you can access the auction, but it only takes a minute.
The Villa del Rio shelter in Cordoba is again suffering floods after the river burst its banks. To raise funds for the shelter, Baas Galgo in association with Ginn are organising an auction of artwork by Pam Emmerick. Click here to see the artwork and bid
Sandra and Leticia do marvellous work at this shelter, I can’t praise them enough for what they do. But the thing I can’t get my head round is that it is owned by a hunter who also breeds galgos and sells them to the galgueros; a rich man! I visited it in June 2009.
