Grammy and Academy Award-winning singer-songwriter Billie Eilish spent a day in an animal rescue ahead of her “Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour” shows in Denver.
Brighter Days Dog Rescue, a Boulder-based non-profit animal rescue, revealed the singer-songwriter’s surprise visit on Tuesday, November 20.
“Today our pups got to spend the day showered with love from Billie Eilish and her wonderful team,” the animal rescue wrote.
The animal rescue also shared that they all needed the surprise visit after a tough week of losing a dog and having another one hospitalized.
“It’s so great to see an artist with such a large platform use it for good and to help the animals and the world. Keep up the good work,” the animal rescue added.
During her visit, Eilish also met a rescued pony, named Samson, from the Broken Shovels Farm Sanctuary.
“We had a beautiful afternoon with @billieeilish and her tour family, alongside @brighterdays_rescue and the world’s sweetest puppies and kittens, who were snuggled to their heart’s content by both a perfomer and a true animal advocate,” the Broken Shovels Farm Sanctuary wrote in an Instagram post.
