Red Rose helps pet owners spay and neuter animal companions for free, provides emergency medical services for homeless felines and canines and often assists pet owners on a fixed income to get their animal the veterinary care they desperately need. In addition to a variety of other programs this group is one of the few organizations in the Verde Valley providing TNR (trap, neuter and return) of feral felines helping to trap, spay/neuter, vaccinate, and provide necessary medical treatment for them. The focus of the organization is reducing the over pet population; preventing felines and canines from potentially being injured, abused or neglected.
Red Rose has upcoming shows September 30th and October 1st weekend and then again October 14 and 15th and returns in the Spring 2018.
