The first no-kill dog shelter in Detroit is now constructing a new facility
and has several ways in mind to remember the late Betty White.
On the occasion of the animal rights activist's 100th birthday, Detroit Dog
Rescue (DDR) expressed gratitude to its kind supporters for participating in
the #BettyWhiteChallenge and helping them raise over $10,000.
The adoption center said, "As promised, we'll be dedicating our whole
adoption hallway after the iconic Betty White! The Betty White Adoption
Avenue hallway will be located in our new Detroit Dog Rescue, which will
open this spring.
That's not all, though.
The "Golden Girls" theme tune will play gently as the dog departs the
facility each time a dog is adopted from the shelter.
According to Kristina Rinaldi, executive director of Detroit Dog Rescue,
"when you hear the 'Golden Girls' theme, you know that a dog is leaving
Detroit Dog Rescue, similar to when you're in a hospital, you hear a
lullaby, someone has just given birth." "Thank you for being their friend,
and best wishes to them."
Many followers were moved to tears by the tender homage. Someone said,
"Just thinking of the song playing as a dog leaves for its new home brings
tears to my eyes!!"
Another person remarked, "That is a great idea and a great way to pay
tribute to someone who even in her death, made a great impact on
America."
The animal sanctuary expressed gratitude to everyone for their
contributions and said, "We're pleased to permanently commemorate Betty
White, the animal world's golden girl!
DDR has been saving stray dogs that the majority consider to be
"unadoptable" for the past ten years. The caring team takes the time to
teach and rehabilitate the dogs before placing them up for adoption, giving
the canines a second opportunity.
