Anyway, I think she did the right thing doing something for man's best friend. If shelters can be improved and expanded, more spay/neuter programs sponsored, and adoption made more affordable, I think that is money well spent. Unfortunately, I'm a bit of a pessimist if it comes to people administering this much money... I worry it might get lost in administration fees and "other" dubious "expenses"!
