in appreciation.

I don't care one whit that she gets positive PR for this - these animals now have shelter. Bless her for her generosity.

go to the spca.

I have a new found respect for her after this. Thank You Rachel!!

important mission.

is better than her pans. My wife bought them- I didn't know it was possible for bacon to stck in a non-stick pan

but she is doing a good thing.

Just sayin'

Though it would have been nice if she donated more.

I often wish that I had significant money so that I could give to the causes that matter to me.

I have edited the OP to make that clear.

Rachael Ray is donating to the ASPCA, not SPCA International. Please read this:

http://charitywatch.org/articles/SPCAInternational.html

...."While SPCAI is in no way connected to the better known American Society to Prevent Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), it is easy to see how its familiar sounding name might confuse donors into thinking it is somehow affiliated with this or other well-established charities with similar cruelty prevention causes...."

Once a terrier, always a terrier!

though it was edited after I posted my comment.

I was stuck at the auto dealership waiting for my car. We like Rachel Ray around here, since she's local, but that was hard to watch.

It is very good dog food with meat the first ingredient - there is no fillers or shit in it

Get it at Safeway, she has three kinds, my dogs love it, and a portion of the purchase price goes to animal welfare
