The return of American political comedian/commentator Jon Stewart to The Daily Show enriched many lives across the country, but even more so for a special NYC animal shelter.
On an episode of his show, Stewart stole a bit of air time to eulogize “the best” dog, his three-legged Dipper, after he died at the age of 12. Calling out the no-kill Manhattan-based Animal Haven shelterby name, donations began to flood in after the show aired.
“We are at $60,000 now and they are still dripping in,” Tiffany Lacey, Animal Haven’s executive director, told CBS News last Friday.
Stewart implored his audience to adopt—not specifically from Animal Haven—although he did mention he and his family had found several lovable beasties there.
“It’s good news for the cats, as kitten and cat adoptions are way up,” Lacey said, echoing Stewart’s urging for people to “donate, adopt, volunteer—always adopt, don’t shop.”
