ASPCA Henry Bergh Award: Emmylou Harris

A 14-time Grammy winner and Billboard Century Award recipient, Emmylou Harris’ contribution as a singer and songwriter spans 40 years. She has recorded more than 25 albums and has lent her talents to countless fellow artists’ recordings. In recognition of her remarkable career, Harris was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2008 and earned a Grammy Lifetime Achievement award in 2018.
Harris is one of the most admired and influential women in music. She has recorded with such diverse artists as Linda Ronstadt, Daniel Lanois, Bob Dylan, Mark Knopfler, Neil Young, Gram Parsons, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Roy Orbison, Ryan Adams, Beck, Elvis Costello, Johnny Cash, Lucinda Williams, Lyle Lovett and Rodney Crowell.
A longtime social activist, Harris has lent her voice to many causes, but most passionately to animal welfare. In 2004, she established Bonaparte's Retreat with the goal of rescuing shelter dogs and adopting them into loving homes. To this day, Bonaparte's Retreat continues to save dogs most in need at Metro Nashville Animal Care and Control and at municipal shelters in surrounding counties. Harris is also a board member of Crossroads Campus, a nonprofit that transforms lives by creating opportunities for individuals facing poverty and homelessness to care for homeless dogs and cats.

Way to go Emmylou…thank you for for all you do and for caring! You’re music and your spirit is angelic. 😇🐶

I didn’t know I could love Emmylou more, cats and dogs have always been a huge part of my life and my husband’s, our whole family loves them and my adult kids have them too. We are currently raising our beautiful Border Collie, and our two rescue cats. Our newest pet is one of our cats, he is all black, his breeder died of an aneurism a few months after we got our BC, my husband’s favorite cats are all black, our son rescued my cats brother, that’s how we got our precious black kitty, he is laying on my feet right now.
