Cesar Millan & Friends Celebrity Online Auction Underway

When it comes to celebrity online auctions, Cesar Millan & Friends leads the pack. The auction, which runs through November 5, 2010, was established to raise funds for The Millan Foundation’s continued efforts to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home dogs in dire need. Pet lovers can bid on a bevy of items ranging from exotic destination vacations and VIP experiences (including tours with The Dog Whisperer) to pet products, gift baskets, a multitude of sports memorabilia and an array of celebrity collectibles.

Following are just a few of the donated items:

• Dig up inside scoop on a private set tour of the FOX crime drama Bones, hosted by the executive producer of the series, Barry Josephson.

• Marley & Me star Owen Wilson autographed an action shot with his own Spot. The 13 X19 b&w image can also be seen in the David Woo book “Top Dogs and Their Pets.”

• A high winning bid would be music to the ears of the singers who signed their names to their donated items. Country crooner Pat Green cuddles his canine companion in an autographed photo, while Steve Miller and B.J. Thomas posed with a plethora of pets for their signed pix.

• An autographed picture of heroic pilot Chelsey “Sully” Sullenberger and a four-pawed pal will have spirits soaring.

• Sports stars love Spots, a evidenced by the photo of football great Roger Stauback with his Fido. Tom Brady added his John Hancock to a New England Patriots jersey, while baseball stars Toby Hall of the Texas Rangers and MBA player Gabe Gross donated signed baseballs, Andrew Bynum of the Los Angeles Lakers autographed a basketball and teammate Pau Gasol signed a Lakers jersey.

• Pro rodeo enthusiasts can bid on an autographed photo of king of the Cowboys (and former Dancing with the Stars contestant) Ty Murray atop a horse.

• For fans of felines, former Olympic gymnastics champion Carly Patterson‘s autographed picture with a purring pal is the cat’s meow.
