David Dupuie, with Killer Aisle 7 Promotions, also a local musician with the band “Ingray” was inspired after he adopted his dog Drifter from a local shelter and later learning his new floppy eared buddy was severely epileptic; to help raise money for the numerous unwanted animals that are temporarily housed in shelters. With his love of music, his love of animals and his Detroit music scene connections, he came up with the idea to pull together some of his favorite bands and friends from the area to come together in support of homeless animals all across our state through the Michigan Humane Society and performances from some of Detroit’s best bands.
