Silent Auction

The First Annual Barkitecture was a howling success! The doghouses alone raised over $20,000, and with the sponsors, ticket sales and silent auction bids, we raised a grand total of $30,595. All of us at Hull Seaside Animal Rescue are astounded at this first-year event's success, but it's no surprise these stunning abodes caught the attention of bonefide bidders! Take a look!

We'd like to thank everyone who generously supported Barkitecture. You will help Hull Seaside Animal Rescue continue its work to provide shelter to homeless animals in Cohasset, Hingham and Hull, and continue with our catch and release spay program for ferals. But, before we go any further, there were a few stars of the day who simply cannot go unmentioned.

• Rich McKee of McKee's Moving & Storage, not only provided HSAR with a place to store the doghouses and have a photo shoot, but he and his crew donated countless hours moving these designer digs to and from the event. They then stayed around to help "show" the doghouses during the auction. They still continue to work, helping all the happy new owners of the doghouses load and move the doghouses.
  
• Roberts Dinion Architects, Inc. and Ken Vona Construction whose "Doghouse-Birdhouse-Lighthouse" was such a hit with the audience that they offered to construct three more of these beauties, and donate each $2,000 winning bid to HSAR!
  
• Strekalovsky Hoit Raymond's Roger and Nancy Hoit who not only designed and built 'Residence Built for Mr. Harley Davidson," but bought it back for a whopping $1,600, and then went on to offer to build another, reaping yet a second bid of $1,600.
  
• David Lamb of David Lamb Photography, for not only traveling from New York and photographing the doghouses before the event, but also buying one and with his wife Mary, also placing numerous winning bids on silent auction items.
  
• Winning bidders such as Deborah Leggat and Lindsey Cyr each of whom bought TWO doghouses, and then there's Stephanie Lewis, who bought three! Hats off to these generous animal lovers!
