Remember … Jon said he got Dipper from Animal Haven about 12 years ago when his kids were raising money for the shelter … adopting the dog on the spot after being introduced. The pup was missing a leg after being hit by a car in Brooklyn.
Tiffany tells us the wave of donations is coming at just the right time for Animal Haven … she says the shelter is at full capacity with more than 100 rescue animals in their care, including 3 dog moms who recently gave birth to 20 puppies.
Tiffany says Animal Haven’s reached out to Jon too, thanking him and offering their sympathies and condolences as he grieves his beloved companion.
