In Boston, the Newhouse Wildlife Rescue in Chelmsford said it was "blown away" after $17,000 was donated on White's birthday. The group, which helps rehabilitate orphaned or injured local wildlife, now has the funds needed "to prepare for the coming baby season and the orphans that will flood through our doors," they wrote on Facebook.
Another animal group in Boston, MSPCA-Angell, set a goal of donating 100,000 pet meals to those in need of assistance during January. Thanks to donations, the veterinary and advocacy group has already distributed 101,172 pet meals and counting.
Pawfect Life Rescue, another local animal rescue in Massachusetts, set a goal of raising $3,000 and raised more than $8,000. Several other groups in the state also helped raise thousands of dollars in White's honor, according to CBS Boston.
And it wasn't just Massachusetts shelters and animal groups that reported an influx of donations on January 17. Dog Days Rescue in Kennesaw, Georgia, said they received more than $4,000 in Betty White's name, founder Tina Lee told CBS affiliate WGCL.
