Celebrate Betty White's Birthday
January 17 is Betty White’s birthday. As we celebrate her life, many remember her exceptional acting, warm personality, and deep love for animals.
Join the #BettyWhiteChallenge and express your appreciation for Betty’s contributions. Help carry on her legacy by showing love to animals in need.
We would be honored if you choose to donate $5 to Salt Lake County Animal Services to help the homeless pets at Utah’s largest, no-kill municipal shelter.
To make a donation please visit slcoasdonations.cbo.io. Be sure to include Betty White in the “notes” section.
Donations will be used to maintain the cattery and extend the Pet Crew Pet Pantry to the end of 2023 with the combined generosity of Huck Liam McWoods & Family. We have a goal of $5,000! Can you help us?
