Auction for Sally. We are auctioning off this racing muzzle modeled by Belle (picture below) to the highest bidder. The money will be sent to Dr. Erick Egger at Veterinary Teaching Hospital Colorado State University to help with the costs of Sally's left hind limb surgery and recovery.





We are also looking for members to put up items to bid and we may add more items as well.

The auction will last 10 days, starting today. The auction will end on July 12, 2007 at midnight.

Put your bids in this thread and Beryl and I will keep a tally on the bid leaders and the highest bid.

Happy bidding - I will pay for shipping and it is possible if this is a success I will put up another one.

If anyone here has a Jams Greyhound or had a Jams Greyhound then your baby may of worn this muzzle. It was given to me by J & M Kennel by Martha who was the breeder/owner of the Jams greys

I will start the bidding at $10.00 Best Wishes for Sally's recovery. You go girl and show em you can do it!!!!!! This is what you can do with a Jams muzzle.

Love you Peg

Thanks Peg.

It was so much fun getting the flowers and doing them up. This is such a greyt cause, just imagine what it will be like for her to finally walk on 4 feet. If that was me, my hip would be killing me, and my knee and of course I would probably have corns on every toe, that is IF I was a greyhound named Sally. I just can't imagine what her life has been like so far. God Bless her, and thank you for Blessing her by bringing her here for the help that she needs.

Thanks Peg. It is a great cause. That's a great idea of what to do with them, very cool.

Yes Peg told me that she is going to do them for the seasons. I will donate another muzzle just let me know when.

Ok, I like the flowers and it gave me an idea so I'll up the bid to $20.

I bet Sally would be giving you quite a few kisses and you know you are helping an animal in need. Thank you for your bid.


Then God sent the Greyhound to live among man and remember.
And when the Day comes, God will call the Greyhound to give
Testament, and God will pass judgement on man.

SALLY UPDATE - Please feel free to cross post anywhere - Just received from her vet
Hello Beryl
Thank you for your interest and potential support of our trying to help out Sally.
I assume you are familiar with the story so I'll get right to your questions:
1) When is surgery
A guess would be we have 2 to 3 months of accurate model making (based on the CT that was done last week), planning, design, custom manufacturing of the implant and the instruments for insertion before the final implant surgery. We may also perform a stump revision surgery to remove excessive bony reaction and provide a better soft tissue cuff to integrate into the prosthesis. Also we'll start Sally on some underwater treadmill work to encourage her muscle strength, (joint range of motion is great!) Following the implant insertion, we will protect and minimize loading of the limb (perhaps more under water treadmill /swimming) until bone grows into the device and teh soft tissue cuff stabilizes. All of this based on how other custom joint replacements go and the human experience.
2) Where is she staying
3) Where will she go after her surgery
4) Will she be put up for adoption
The Kuwiati shelter that contacted me requested I personally adopt Sally, which I was happy to do and she lives with me with special attention provided by my wife Sue and if causing great dissention among my other 4 adopted children. An old Golden Retriveor, a St. Poodle with cleft palate (still lisps instead of barks, but doing well) a hip dysplasic bulldog (with custom made 3 wheel jogging buggy), and a femur fracture adopted lab from Idaho, now my wife's running partner Sally's become a part of our daily lives, and will remain so on threat of my divorce.

Where can I find Sally's story? I am new here and find it so confusing. I saw her photo on the home page, and, oh my, what a sweet face, and I can't imagine her story? I would like to help as well and I can donate a custom slate. I'm afraid I don't know how to post it though? Can someone help? My site is www.crittergallery.com
