HavasuPups!
This project has expanded into helping all of the animals in Supai.
May 9, 2010 we made another trip to the Grand Canyon to save dogs and cats
This puppy is another little guy we brought out. He has beautiful blue eyes.
The condition of the animals is improving in the Grand Canyon Havasupai area.
We thank all of you for your continued support as we make progress to help the quality of the lives of the animals that live and work in the Grand Canyon. We cannot do it without your help!

Timeline of this project is listed below (not all of our trips are listed)
We go into the Havasupai Village roughly every 3 months to take food for the dogs, cats, livestock and horses along with providing medical care to the animals and spay and neuter services. We bring out as many unwanted animals as we can and find them homes.

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
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.
We need your help in the form of donations for vet care/spay/neuter and foster and adoptive homes.
Future Clinics:
March/April 2009 - The Equine Team will go back in.
Large Animal vets are needed along with donations for expenses and vaccines
We will 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.
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.

August 2008 Equine Team Update
Earlier this year, Wildhorse Ranch Rescue contacted Arizona Equine, asking for help with veterinary care for the horses and livestock in Supai. The response from the Veterinary Team was overwhelming! In Aug 2008 - Dr. Gayle Leith, Dr. Obermiller and a team of vet techs from Arizona Equine Surgical Centre from Gilbert, Arizona went into the canyon with gear and medical supplies that were donated by many companies. They met with Dr. Cathy Larned, who has been tirelessly assisting the village to improve the lives of the animals that reside in the canyon.
The team castrated 5 stallions.
Floated teeth for 12 horses.
Performed some neuters on dogs/cats.
Provided many services, such as vaccines and exams.
One pony had to be put down on the trail due to a tragic fall.
It was found that many of the horses were eating sand and colic was prolific.
This is due to lack of enough horse food in the canyon.
Dr. Leith brought out a 12 week old puppy that was infested with tics and fleas.
The pup found a new home here in the valley.
Oct 2008 update
Ebony and Red were brought out along with a litter of kittens.
Several hundred pounds of dog food was flown in for the dogs in the village.
