(edited press release)

A Breyer Ruffian model created by Faye Cohen is being auctioned on eBay to raise money for Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue, Inc., in Glenville, Pa., and ultimately advance the adoption of rescued Thoroughbreds.

The Breyer Ruffian model is just one of the unsolicited items offered for sale on eBay by private individuals who support the organization’s cause. Angel Acres Horse Rescue (www.saveahorsenow.org) is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit rescue dedicated to saving slaughter-bound horses. Angel Acres also assists in cases of neglect and abuse.

“We are thrilled that people feel so strongly about our cause that, without being asked, they raise money for us by placing items on eBay,” says Jo Deibel, president of Angel Acres
