‹ Dr. Pat’s Health Tips: Preventing MRSA • J.K. Rowling to Release Another Harry Potter Book for Charity ›
Be honest — when you think of David Spade, you picture him playing a snotty assistant-type character, or the immature, self-serving buddy, right? I used to, but I have a whole new perception of the actor now — he donated $10,000 to the animal shelter in his hometown of Lakeside, Arizona, to keep it in the business of saving innocent lives.
David’s mom still lives in the town, and apparently the shelter was falling apart and was going to be forced to shut down. The generous donation more than covered the cost of the necessary repairs. The facility focuses on rescuing animals abandoned in the woods and mountains surrounding it — some people assume that if they leave an animal in the wild, it will automatically be able to fend for itself, and that’s not at all the truth. It shelters and tries to find homes for approximately 3500 animals each year.
It should be noted that David made his donation under the radar — he didn’t have any photographers follow him, and he didn’t hold a press conference. He did it out of the goodness of his heart, and he should feel great knowing that this donation is saving the lives of thousands of animals.
