A Bucks County animal shelter was overwhelmed by the generosity of the public honoring Betty White, during the Betty White Challenge.
White was a staunch advocate for animals and one"When we put out the word of the Betty White Challenge and joined other animal organizations across the country, the outpouring of generosity, in terms of donations has been incredible!" exclaimed Karen Lash, with, in Bensalem. "I opened my email and the donations, the $100 in honor of the 100th birthday – thank you for all you do. Betty would be proud.
After White died on New Year’s Eve, a social media campaign to donate to animal shelters went viral and it was a big dig day for the country’s oldest animal shelter. Shelters, like Women’s Animal Shelter, rely on donations and volunteers to care for abandoned animals and, hopefully, see them all adopted.
"When I say bye to this guy, I say I hope I don’t see you next week. I hope he’s in a home. You know, it’s bittersweet. If I come in next week, he’s not here, but I know he’s in a home," volunteer Lauren Ciemnoloski remarked.
