The Humane Society of the United States Honors Musician Emmylou Harris' Work on Behalf of Animals with a Special Birthday Celebration
WASHINGTON (March 6, 2007) - Her music has brought joy to millions around the world for more than 30 years, but what gives 12-time Grammy winner Emmylou Harris great joy and satisfaction these days is her work on behalf of animals. "That's what my passion is about these days," the Nashville-based musician says. "Ending their suffering and educating people about animal issues."
To celebrate this compassionate singer and her upcoming 60th birthday on April 2, The HSUS is joining with Emmylou's friends and fans by encouraging contributions to The Keeta Fund set up in her honor and named for her rescued mixed-breed dog Keeta. All donations will assist The HSUS' disaster programs for dislocated animals including search and rescue operations, care at temporary shelters or - when needed - the relocations of animals for adoption into new homes. Contributions to The Keeta Fund can be made at the website www.hsus.org/keetafund from now until the end of April.
During Hurricane Katrina, Emmylou, a longtime friend and contributor to HSUS, displayed her passion for animals by supporting HSUS' rescue and relief work with a substantial donation. Today, her work for animals has taken a hands-on approach: She operates her own fostering operation for hard to place dogs; volunteers with her local Nashville shelter; and conceived, planned and headlined a Nashville benefit concert on behalf of the local Humane Association.
"Animals can teach us how to be better human beings," says Emmylou. "They've certainly taught me that."
The HSUS is accepting donations through April 30. As of March 30, more than $10,000 has been raised.
The last Ebay auction for The Keeta Fund is going to end on April 9. A pair of custom made boots made for Emmylou by the Cowgirls Hall of Fame are up for auction.

Friends and fans of Emmylou Harris have found a way to honor her in
a meaningful way – through donations to The HSUS's Disaster Services
program. Your support will help in the rescue, care and placement of
animals displaced by disaster. This may include search and rescue
operations, care for animals at temporary shelters, and, when
necessary, the relocation of animals for adoption.
They'll accept donations to the Keeta Fund through Emmylou's birthday
on April 2, 2007. Help make Emmylou's 60th birthday a truly special
occasion – for her, and for the animals! Thank you so much.
