More than 100 animal lovers turned out in September for Best Friends’
Third Annual Poker Run and Adoption Event. Riders headed out on a
designated route through the Golden Circle of Southern Utah, making five
stops along the way, including a stop for lunch at Best Friends Animal
Sanctuary. Potbellied “hawgs” Harley and Sprocket (from Best Friends’
Piggy Paradise) were on hand to welcome the bikers.
Participants drew a card at each of five stops along the route, giving them
the equivalent of a poker hand by the time the ride wrapped up back at Zion
Harley Davidson in Hurricane, Utah. The person with the best
poker hand won $1,000 in Harley Davidson Gift Chips.
But the real winners Saturday were the five dogs and
one cat who found forever homes at the adoption event
at Zion Harley Davidson. Best Friends, Because
Animals Matter, Providing Animals With Support
and Sadie’s Safe Haven all brought animals to the
event in the hope that they would find families
to fall in love with them. The event also raised over $4,000 which was divided up to the groups participating in the Adoption Event at Zion Harley Davidson.
