Meatball the Boxer

Auction items have closed! Thank you so much for your support!

***We are so grateful to all of our donors. We are close to reaching our goal and so we are not accepting any more item donations at this time. We hope that those willing to contribute to Meaty's auction will instead consider donating the item to another auction for the benefit of another dog or cat in need.***

Thank you to all that donated an item to this auction, bid on an item or made a private donation, you have made a difference in this boxer's life! Thanks to ALL of you, Meaty was able to have his surgery on June 17th, 2009.

Limited Edition Power of the Paw Ornament

Limited Edition, only 100 will be made!

From Flecken's Flea Market, an exclusive Power of the Paw (POTP) ornament made especially for Meatball's Surgery Fund. The ornaments are handpainted on both sides (the picture shows the front and back of the same ornament....sorry, but the incredibly handsome doxie is not included! BOL!). One of the pawprints on each ornament will be the actual pawprint of a member of my Gang. Background fabrics and paint colors may vary. They are about 4" across and slightly padded. You can also order them in sets of four, in four different colors, with each ornament featuring the pawprint of a different Gang member, shipped to one US address.

$6.00 each (includes shipping)

Know a pal that needs POTP? Order one and ship it directly to them!

Who is Meatball?

Meatball aka "Meaty" is a 7 year old purebred Boxer from Buffalo, NY. He has just been diagnosed with a cancerous bone tumor, just beneath the surface on his face, close to his eye. Meaty is in otherwise great health and is a good candidate for surgery. The estimates for his care and surgery are close to $5000, and so this site was created to help raise the funds needed to provide Meaty's family with much needed support as they start their journey to help him.

The auction items have been donated by wonderful friends, and all money raised will go directly to Meaty's family for his veterinary expenses and surgery. We are so grateful to our donors, bidders and site visitors and appreciate your love and support. Messages, POTP (Power of the Paw) and prayers for Meaty and his family can be left in our guestbook.

Die Cancer, Die!
