2013 Arizona Humane Society 5th Annual Puttin’ for Pooches Fundraiser

Gear up and save the date for AHS’ 5th annual Puttin’ for Pooches motorcycle ride Friday, April 12, 2013. This unique ride attracts animal lovers and motorcycle enthusiasts alike to benefit the homeless pets whocome through our doors. Each year, AHS welcomes the opportunity to partner with key business leaders to develop unique involvement and sponsorship opportunities.

We are thrilled to announce that this year’s ride will again align with Arizona Bike Week’s 2013 festivities. Chandler Harley Davidson will be home to the start of the ride, arming riders with a hearty complimentary breakfast, one-on-one store help and the opportunity to mingle with other motorcycle buffs. AHS will be onsite to share information about our many programs and services while showcasing a few of our very own adoptable pets!

The ride will take participants from Chandler, down to our 20 acre Campus for Compassion at South Mountain where they will be given an exclusive behind the scenes tour of the shelter and all of the lifesaving programs the ride will benefit. From there, bikers will enjoy the open road as they cruise to a catered lunch at Cave Creek’s Harold’s Corral and then finally ending at Arizona Bike Week’s Cyclefest at West World for free admission into the day’s activities.

Each $40 rider registration includes one admission into Cyclefest, (4) complimentary raffle tickets for a lunch time prize drawing and a limited addition Puttin’ for Pooches 2013 branded t-shirt and patch.

For 56 years, the Arizona Humane Society (AHS) has fostered the belief that every pet deserves a good life. More than an adoption center, AHS cares for more than 44,000 animals annually, responding to nearly 27,000 calls for help through the EAMT program and treating more than 11,000 homeless pets in our Second Chance Animal Hospital. AHS also houses a public clinic at each of our shelters, in addition to a mobile clinic, providing low-cost spay/neuter, wellness and reduced-cost veterinary services to all pet owners, regardless of income.

With a yearly operating budget of just over $14 million, AHS is proud that an astonishing 86 cents from every dollar received goes directly to our programs and services for homeless animals.

Whether it’s a rescue by our Emergency Animal Medical Technicians™ (EAMT™), a treatment in our Second Chance Animal Hospital™ or time to heal in one of our foster homes before adoption, AHS counts on the support of our generous corporate partners to make these programs a possibility.

It is with great pride that AHS invites Lerner & Rowe to take part in advocating for Arizona’s companion animals as a premier sponsor of the 2013 Puttin’ for Pooches motorcycle ride!
