Rock And Rescue, a charity concert benefiting the Erie Humane Society’s Shelter to Service program, returns this August with country music star Tyler Farr headlining the event. Joining Farr are special guests Tyler Braden and Lewis Brice, who will open the show. This annual event raises crucial funds to train shelter puppies as service dogs for local veterans.
Rock and Rescue: Supporting Veterans Through Music
The Erie Humane Society’s Shelter to Service program, established in 2018, provides qualified local veterans with trained service dogs free of charge. These dogs offer invaluable comfort and support to veterans in need.

The 2024 concert promises an unforgettable night of music and community support.
