Bender, sleeping with one of his new family members.
Bender is one of the rescued hiking dogs from the Grand Canyon Havasupai Falls area.
Bender got his name because the hikers that found him, put a 'Shaggy' Bender toy on his
collar and took pictures of him.
Benders are toys from HogWild Toys.

Please help us save the hiking dogs of Havasupai
July 9, 2008 Update
Our team will be headed back to the Canyon to assist with horses in August 2008.
We also have a team of Veterinarians and Vet Techs from Arizona Equine going in October 2008 to perform castrations, teeth floating, vet care and educational information for proper care of the equines in the village.
We will also continue to assist with any dog/cat related veterinary issues while we are in the Canyon on each of our trips.
We still need help with funding as the Canyon is a 5 hour drive from Gilbert, AZ and we must haul
people, equipment and supplies.

Approximately 30 to 50 good Grand Canyon hiking dogs need food and vet care. These friendly, obedient hiking companions live in the Grand Canyon and greet the human hikers each day. The Tribal Council has agreed to work with a team of dedicated hikers led by Tammy Taylor and Dany Schott to develop a care program for the Grand Canyon Hiking Dogs....aka the HavasuPups.
The objective is to spay/neuter the dogs and provide veterinary care and food on a regular basis.
We have created a separate account for the HavasuPups and all donations for the dogs will go to that account and be used for the objective outlined above.
June 16 and 17, 2008 we will be back at the Canyon to bring more dogs out, supply food for dogs we must leave behind and provide medical care to ill dogs/puppies.
We need your help in the form of donations for vet care/spay/neuter and foster and adoptive homes.
Here are the results of the June Trip:
Thank you for your help!!!
24 dogs were spayed/neutered
Horse Shade was delivered to the village
Over 600 lbs of dog food was flown in
Horses were tested for parasites
15 puppies were brought out
3 additional dogs were flown out along with 2 kittens
All dogs found homes except for Bender, who currently resides at Wildhorse Ranch Rescue
Bender has several people interested in him
June 25, 2008 - Bender found a wonderful home!
Future Clinics:
We will go back in late Summer to vaccinate horses
Large Animal vets are needed along with donations for expenses and vaccines
Another trip is planned for Feb/March of 2009 to castrate stallions and put up horse fencing so that horses do not have to be tied to fences all night long.
Education classes have been started to provide proper animal care to the village.
Children were witnessed abusing cats and dogs and the Principal of the school has agreed to incorporate training for compassionate animal handling to the students.
We need your help to continue our efforts to provide immediate care for the animals and to continue educating the village on compassionate and effective animal keeping.
