Some celebs are stepping up.
Miley Cyrus $.5 million
Rachael Ray $1 million to animal shelter
I missed some other big donors.
Looks like some are stepping up. I'd like to see a full list of big donors. Maybe Trump is leading in a way that is positive after all.

Lots of people will appreciate the furry family members being cared for that may have slipped away. I got no beef with that as you say it is her money.
gotta say. the million to the animal shelter doesn't impress me much. could be used for people. should be used for people. but its her money
Lotta folks worry about their pets and it can cause a lot of stress. Helping with the critters will reduce a lot of problems for the displaced folks and the first responders who are trying to help.
Dogs are people too. [^]
gotta agree with that, I woke up a few time in the service and looked over to see I had been sleeping with a real dog, a real bitc... after she woke up.......[:0]
Kardashians $.5 million Red Cross and Salvation Army
Houston Rockets basketball team owner donated $4,000,000
They got to eat and be housed too,,everyone thinks of the people,,not many think of the Animals,,If I had it,,mine would go to an Animal shelter also
Texas Rangers baseball (Dallas) donated $1,000,000
Houston Rockets basketball team owner donated $4,000,000
Any word on any of the NFL owners stepping up? If the NFL could cough up $50 million or so, I might start watching again.

Yep. The shelter's won't allow pets, so a lot of people would not go to shelters to try to stay and help their pets. So it's a good thing that somebody is helping out the People by helping their pets. I know I couldn't go sleep in a nice dry place not knowing if my dog is okay
So really it is helping people, by helping their pets

I appreciate her focus on pets, these people have lost everything else saving their pet may be the only part of this event that keeps them sane. Some folks just don't see any value in companion animals, their loss.

Well it impresses me a Hell of a lot [;)], I tip my hat to her for specifying where her donation is going. She's A-1 in my opinion by doing so. [:)]

Looks like everyone is doing what they can during this time of need in Texas.
From what I've seen and heard, it will be years (If ever) that Houston is rebuilt and back to the way it was once was.
Amazon $1million
Walmart $1 million
Home Depot $1 million and truckloads to retailers
I have liked Rachael Rays cooking show. I have watched her turn into the plump little cute thing over the years. Her food looks so good, and it shows.
More about dogs getting relief, but I suppose some of the money will rescue cats and other critters. I applaud her for this donation, she stepped up above and beyond.
And considering many of the humans who receive help will be ungrateful, I am glad that the furry friends who would give their lives for their people, are getting some respect and recognition.
And not to minimize some celebs for donating what to me would be $5, they still give. I just think that these folks, dancing monkeys, who give, rise to a little better status in my eyes. Those who give in this larger sum, get my attention for sure.
I had just watched a Sandra movie the day before, She's a good little dancing monkey. [:D]
I have some serious issues with the likes of Ellen Degeneris donating $25k and grabbing the spotlight like she saved the world. But she did give, so Kudos.
Miley Cyrus giving $500,000 was very nice, her interview was a bit strange. Maybe she is trying to buy her way back to America, since she was supposed to leave.
But... They did give, motivations aside, they stepped up.
But Rachael Ray donating really did impress me. She did it out of her heart. She did it for the people who lost animals, and the animals themselves who are in trouble.

I agree with you! I love animals, but this is pure BS!!![:(!] Any one who puts animal life/needs ahead of human life/needs are IDIOTS!!![V]

Remain clam, Jim.
It is better to give to an animal shelter than to not give at all, right?
There are 10s of millions of dollars going to the relief effort, most of it through the Red Cross, Salvation Army, and other efforts for people. The $ 1 million is a small percentage of the total being donated, and to suggest that Ms. Ray is putting puppies ahead of people is just unfair.

they all sure donated against trump without hesitation

Yes please remain clam, she's not giving the money to save shell fish. [;)]

Children who will never grow up. Pets are family. You take care of family.
My dog will (and has) done his best for me.
I'll be damned if I will not do the same for him.
(And) Thanks mag00.
You would (by far,) get the better deal.
* and moan about what we are feeding them or where we are housing them or why weren't we there BEFORE the storm hit (be it hurricane or tornado)
Then you find the animals and give them some food and water and a soft hand to help them out. They don't growl or snap at you or turn their noses up at what is offered. They are genuinely happy to be saved.
I am one of those sickos I suppose that 204 thinks needs to seek help. My dogs have always been and always will be members of my family.

Yes- and they have stepped up generously. The Dallas Cowboys have donated and raised over $2,000,000 and many other teams are stepping up as well.

Having been on these relief missions in both the US and Caribbean, I have seen the response when we give to people.

Rachel Ray would probably spit on me because she HATES conservatives, so I have little use for the plump, little witch. But, I hope the critters get some relief because of her generosity.
Let the idiot humans look elsewhere for help.
