GALTx eNews: GALT’s 2022 Help The Hounds Auction
Bidding is already open in GALT’s 2022 Help the Hounds Auction and runs through April 28, 2022, at 9:00 pm central time! Our wonderful volunteers, fosters, donors and auction bidders keep stepping up to the plate to help us meet the challenges that come our way. Recently, we incurred significant, unexpected medical expenses for our Injured Reserve (IR) hounds. This auction places the spotlight on three of these hounds: Poppy, Maggie, and Iris. Our fourth IR hound, Jill, is already the beneficiary of our Blazer’s Guardian Angels program.
Poppy, who arrived at GALT as an owner surrender, developed a host of medical issues. Earlier this year, she was diagnosed with an unidentified swelling on her left thorax that ruptured during an overnight vet stay, with the result of requiring several days of care at MedVet Dallas, an emergency clinic. Upon her discharge, she was diagnosed with a dislocated right hip. She had extensive surgery to put the hip back in place. Maggie has been receiving heartworm treatments for almost eight months and Iris will soon start her heartworm regimen. We just need to find a long term foster home for her first. In total, GALT has already spent over $30,000 on these three hounds and Iris’s treatments are expected to add another $2,000, for a grand total of about $32,000.
GALT is committed to covering all of the medical expenses for these three Injured Reserve hounds until they are healthy and ready for their loving, forever homes! With your continued help and generous bids, GALT can cover all of these medical costs. This auction includes an exciting and unique array of jewelry, art, gift card packages, and more! If you don’t want or need any “stuff” right now but want to help, consider a donation of $25 or more to Poppy, Iris, or Maggie’s Fan Clubs (Auction Lots 38 through 40)! Your continued support is “greytly” appreciated!
