PHOENIX – Wildhorse Ranch Rescue Inc., Gilbert, a 501(c)(3)
organization dedicated to saving horses and mules from
abuse, neglect, slaughter and premature death, will host
the HavasuPup Music Festival, Saturday, May 10, April 27,
2008.
The festival, to help the Grand Canyon hiking dogs, is
possible due to the joint effort of WHRR; Flagstaff-based
Second Chance Center for Animals; Kanab, Utah-based Best
Friends Animal Society; and the Havasupai Tribal Council.
Havasu `Baaja, more comonly known as the Havasupai Tribe,
are the traditional guardians of the Grand Canyon.
The friendly dogs that live in the Grand Canyon typically
greet hikers and accompany them on their journeys. They
have touched the hearts of all the hikers. However, many of
the dogs need homes, veterinary care and a spay/neuter
program. By working with the Havasupai Tribal Council,
WHRR, Second Chance and Best Friends have put into place a
plan by which this can happen. Funds are needed to
accomplish the goal, as well as a need for permanent homes
and/or foster homes for some of the dogs and puppies.
The HavasuPup Music Festival will bring together six bands
(rock, jazz and blues) to help these amazing Grand Canyon
hiking dogs. The event will include food and an outdoor
bar. Everyone is welcome. The event is dog friendly, so
guests can bring their pooches on a leash. Guests also can
meet the WHRR resident rescue horses.
The music festival promises to be exciting and an entire
night of fun. Guests can camp out at the ranch in their
truck or tents.
“Although we are a horse rescue, we believe all animals
should have the best possible chance in life,” said Rhona
Melsky, secretary, WHRR board of directors. “The Grand
Canyon hiking dogs are amazing dogs and the hikers have
come to adore them. Through vet care, a spay/neuter program
and finding homes for the ones who need them we’re just
doing our part.”
So come on down to Wildhorse Ranch Rescue to help the
HavasuPups. WHRR brings out the best in us all and helps us
all to do our best to protect animals.
Wildhorse Ranch Rescue Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization dedicated to saving horses and mules from
abuse, neglect, slaughter and premature death. All
donations to WHRR are tax deductible as allowed by the IRS.
