Dolly Parton’s life was full of philanthropy, especially when it came to animal conservation and rescue efforts. Dolly loved animals; her impact and legacy will remain through these programs she so loved.
The Eagle Mountain Sanctuary at Dollywood was a project with the American Eagle Foundation to oversee and educate people on bald eagle conservation. This project has helped the many efforts to recover bald eagle populations and get them removed from the endangered species list.
The Doggy Parton clothing and accessory brand donates portions of its funds to Willa B. Farms, a non-profit rescue from Old Hickory, Tennessee.
She also wrote several children’s books about her god-dog, Billy The Kid.
Dolly Parton will be deeply missed by her community, and all other communities she touched with her outreach efforts to help both people and animals alike.
Rest in peace, Dolly. 🕊️❤️
