THANK YOU SO MUCH to all who have contributed, either with donations or bids, to this auction. Carl Viener and AAGA are dear to my heart. For those who may not know, Carl has adopted out over 5300 greyhounds since 1980. I adopted my first greyhound from Carl in 2001; his name was Palu (Tuff Desire), a broken-leg Florida racer. I began volunteering for AAGA and went on to adopt 5 more hounds from Carl before we moved to MN in 2005. In 2006, I founded Minnesota Greyhound Rescue, and every hound that I have placed through MNGR, I credit to the mentorship of Carl. I told him once that I wanted to be him when I grew up, and he laughed. But I only hope that I can do half as much good in my life as Carl has done in his. He gave me my first soul mate dog, and when I look around at the 25 hounds (family, adoptables and boarders) who are in my home today, I feel that I can never repay Carl for what he has given me. Imagine losing your house and everything inside it. I dont have after photos from Carl yet (he still does not have internet), but these photos pulled from news articles begin to tell the story. The roof of the house caved in, and everything that is not burned black is flooded with water from the firefighters. There will be little, if anything, salvageable from the house. The 2nd photo shows a side room that was used as a kennel in the main house. Through the window you can get a glimpse of the damage inside. The last photo is of Carl, with one of the dogs who was there that day. He pulled the 8 dogs out before the firefighters came, and had them safely in his van . Thank you for helping Carl continue his work. Please share this auction far and wide, so he can rebuild and keep AAGA alive.
