Today's extreme K9s are adored by Ellen DeGeneres!
"Ellen DeGeneres knows how to give back – and not just to human-related causes. DeGeneres has continually proven to be a voice for animals on her self-titled daytime television show, through her charity work and with the partnerships which she has formed and aligned herself. DeGeneres draws attention through posts on her website to several worthy animal-related charities and organizations. She has supported, donated, visited and/or volunteered with many of the organizations she mentions, including: Animal Tracks, Inc., The Gentle Barn, Halo (an organization she co-owns), and Farm Sanctuary.
More info about some of these charities:
The Gentle Barn "We provide a place for people and animals to be reminded that they matter," said founder Ellie Laks. Roughly 120 animals live at the Gentle Barn and once they've been rehabilitated, they are able to help children who've also suffered from abuse, who have special-needs or those on probation or in foster care. Watch Portia de Rossi's visit to the Gentle Barn.
Farm Sanctuary's mission is rescue, education and advocacy when it comes to farm animals which are treated according to its website as "unfeeling commodities" with "their basic needs completely ignored."
Halo Pet Foundation focuses on encouraging and promoting the relationship between pets and owners. Co-owned by Ellen herself, the foundation provides pet advice, recipes for dog food and animal adoption events."
