IT'S TIME FOR OUR NEXT
EBAY AUCTION!
GPA/Greater Orlando has
recently taken in
several Greyhounds who
broke their legs while
racing. Some Pups
require extensive
surgery, while others
are splinted for at
least eight weeks.
We have also taken in
very ill dogs and
provided them with life
saving veterinary care.
To help offset these
medical expenses we are
auctioning a large
Greyhound and Tiger
print.

IT IS 47" WIDE X 53"
TALL!
The picture is located
at the GPA Adoption
Office/Kennel, and due
to its size, will be for
local pickup only.
To place a bid, please

The auction will start

This greyhound statue/urn can be used in your interior home decor or outside in your garden or yard. It's a decorative piece whether or not you use it as an urn. It has a stone look and is cast in weather resistant resin with a compartment in the base to place your hound's cremated remains if you desire. The statue comes with its own brass dog tag that can be personalized with your greyhound's name or a thought. This attaches to a collar that is carved in the stone, or one could hang the dog's own tags to remember them by.
The beautiful "Gentle Spirits" poem is inscribed on the column below the bust.
"There
is a special place in our hearts
for those we have loved, for
those who have loved us without
question,
without a word or promise....
There is a special place where
there is no pain or fear, where
love flows freely...
There is a special place to rest
in our hearts forever."
