The Large Animal Shelter and Emergency Readiness Group has been recognized by the state government for its contributions to disaster relief. Several members of LASER were at the state capitol last week accepting the Governor’s 2024 Volunteer Award for Disaster Response. The award is given to individuals, groups, businesses, or organizations that help prepare for and respond to disasters in their communities. LASER Vice President Abby Harbicht said, “Our dedicated LASER volunteers have made this possible. We could not provide this service without the support of the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors, the Office of Emergency Management, and our grantors and community donors. We are grateful for the recognition.”
Governor Katie Hobbs presented the LASER volunteers with the award.
