KarlaLook! Karla's eBay auctions

Every once in a while I see a greyhound who really touches my heart. On one of my trips out to a farm, I found a little black girl by the name of Karla who is 8 years old. She had either broken a hock or ruptured her achilles tendon years ago when she was on the track.

It was never treated and for years now, this dog has walked with her hock on the ground. This has limited her activity and has not allowed her to run and play the way all greyhounds love to do.

KarlaOver the years we have taken dogs from the track with this sort of injury and fixed each of them well. We have found some dogs with this injury that had healed like this and again, even with years passing, we have been able to get up to a 95% correction which has given the dog back it's mobility. For Christmas, I would like to do this for Karla. She's been waiting a long, long time...

Thanks to our good friend Carla Myers, there are now several wonderful greyhound items up for auction on eBay. Just follow the link and start placing your bids!

Let's all join together and give Karla back the ability to enjoy life again. Of course, then you can come back in about three months and offer her that special home, too!

Thank you Carla, for taking the time to offer us these wonderful auctions ... and thank you all for starting off the Holiday season in the best way possible ... giving another greyhound a chance for a future!

Hugs to all,

Marilyn and, of course, Karla!

Karla is "home" now, getting used to being part of the Grey Haven kids. I am not sure how thrilled she is with all the canine attention she is getting at the moment! I also found out that Karla is also a brood, having given birth to 8 pups!

We are all hoping that we can raise enough $$$ to help this pretty little girl. She will have some time to settle in before her first trip into Orlando. One step at a time.....

Karla goes to visit the specialty clinic in Orlando on Tuesday, Nov 18.
If all goes well, she will have surgery the same day!
We could use some good wishes to take with us.....

Karla is out of surgery and walking around already! It appears it went extremely well and the surgeon felt he got more of a correction than he thought he would.
She will spend another full day at the hospital and should be coming home on Thursday.
We are all just tickled that this is over......now we go through weeks and weeks of crate rest and leash walks! I hope she doesn't get bored!
Thanks for all the good wishes!!
