FCAR Horse Rescue


FCAR Rescue Adopted by Priscilla Presley & Elvis Presley Enterprises

In April 2008 FCAR rescued 17 horses from a situation of extreme cruelty and neglect in Williston, TN. The owner was ultimately convicted of animal cruelty and all of the animals were released to the care of Fayette County Animal Rescue. Well one of those horses has just found a little piece of heaven and was adopted by Priscilla Presley and Elvis Presley Enterprises. The official announcement and welcoming for Bandit will be on January 8, 2009. Media and fans from around the world will focus on Graceland for Elvis' birthday celebration which will include Bandit's introduction as the newest addition to the Graceland family.

Recently quoted in the Commercial Appeal: "Unfortunately several didn't make it," said Presley, who says she is grateful to Fayette County Animal Rescue and the state for rescuing most of the horses.
