The Houston rescue was called upon to take in 3 dogs at the end of August. Apparently, the owner had passed away in early April and the dogs were living in deplorable conditions outside. We now have 3 older Afghan Hounds currently being boarded and treated at the vet hospital. They are all heartworm positive, were matted to the skin, have ear and eye infections and all 3 had maggots in their fur from their living situation. None are strong enough at this time to withstand treatment for the heartworms and the vet bills are mounting. Additionally, all will need to be spayed & neutered prior to being placed in a new forever home. We expect their final bill to be approximately $3000 and we are short of funds.
The deceased person's estate has generously donated his vast collection of art, trophies, photos and memorabilia in order to help us meet the bills of the dogs left behind at his passing. I will be listing statues, sculptures, signed original art, prints, trophies, back issues of the Afghan Hound Review, a signed and numbered Afghan Hound bronze from an internationally known canine artist and much more in the next few days and am asking all of you out here on ebay to be generous with your bids. You may also make donations directly to us, please email me for details.
This auction is for an original piece of wood burn art. It is an Afghan Hound with a mountain ridge in the background. Item retains a slight musty odour as the previous owner must have had a smoker in the home. Signed Pat on the lower front of the image. The back is marked as shown in the second picture. Measures 10.5" x 8". Please see my other listings for more rescue donations as I am happy to combine multiple wins for reduced shipping. Please note that I am starting many of the auctions at $9.99 to help save on listing fees, so we are relying upon all of you to bid appropriately and help us to help these dogs.
