David Spade, star of the CBS hit Rules of Engagement, is supporting the Humane Society of the White Mountains in Lakeside, Arizona, by donating a much-needed $10,000 to the shelter where his mother is an active volunteer.

The donation, which arrived last week and follows the actor’s visit there last month, will go towards building a new puppy yard and bigger dog park.

The Humane Society of the White Mountains shelter director Anna-Marie Rea addressed reports on websites that the shelter is falling apart and on the verge of closing. “The roof is not falling down,” Rea said. “We just got a fresh paint job outside … and a nice new fence around the perimeter.”

Services currently offered by the shelter include free pet ID Tags, lost and found services, pet adoptions, spay and neutering, animal rescue, as well as discount rabies clinics – you can find more information and view pets for adoption at the White Mountains Humane Society website www.hswm.org.

Spade is known for helping his home state of Arizona in the past. Last year he donated $25,000 to the family of a slain Arizona police officer, as well as donating $15,000 to his alma mater, Saguro High School.

Miranda Lambert Gives Cause For The Paws

In the last four years, Miranda Lambert has gone from a reality show star to a Grammy-nominated country superstar, but she hasn’t let the success go to her head – in fact, its gone straight to the animals!

On April 20, Lambert hosted her first ever charity event, the ‘Cause for the Paws’ Wine Tasting Festival to benefit the struggling East Texas Humane Society. For years, Lambert has been a huge supporter of the shelter, often encouraging her fans to make donations rather than give gifts to her.

According to Humane Society officials, the organization will actually lose revenue in 2008. Helping to offset the loss, Lambert – joined by country stars Blake Shelton and Kacey Musgraves – appealed to the public to help raise funds during the event, which included silent/live auctions, food and wine tasting, a Meet and Mingle VIP cocktail party, and a concert featuring all three entertainers.

The event also featured a few special VIP guests – adoptable shelter dogs looking for a home, and Delilah, a dog Lambert adopted in 2007.

“Cause for the Paws” was also supported online by Lambert, who kicked off an eBay auction on April 7. More than 40 items were auctioned off to raise money for the Humane Society of East Texas, including items from Lambert, Taylor Swift, Alan Jackson, Martina McBride, Jason Aldean, Little Big Town, George Strait, Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley Ray Cyrus, and Merle Haggard among others.

All proceeds from Lambert’s eBay auction and the “Cause for the Paws” event will help care for abused, abandoned and unwanted animals, and for that we thank you Miranda Lambert.
