Monday would have marked Betty White’s 100th Birthday. We think that she would be very happy, even though she couldn’t make it to the celebrations.
White’s iconic look of pearls is being worn by dogs, who are posting pictures on social media. Betty White is even being given a new name for shelter dogs.
This poor shelter dog was given a complete makeover. According to the shelter, they received a lot of adoption requests and the new owners spoke with Inside Edition.
“It’s funny, because we felt like she probably could fit right in with the cast of ‘Golden Girls,’” they said.
It’s all part of the “Betty White Challenge,” which asks fans to donate to animal shelters in honor of the devoted animal lover.
“So many people have heard about the challenge and have asked how they can support. Anything helps. And if you can’t donate money, you can donate time. You can donate supplies,” a staff member at North Shore Animal League America told Inside Edition.
Betty White’s longtime friend and agent Jeff Witjas says Betty would be tickled.
“It is very cute, there’s no question about it, but knowing Betty’s sense of humor, she would say, humbly, ‘Oh those poor dogs have to dress like me,’” Witjas said.
Fans are also turning out to watch “Betty White: “A Celebration”, which will be in theaters one day only
“I think it will be a really great tribute. I am obviously devastated and sad that she is no longer with us,”One fan stated.
Moviegoers are especially eager to see Betty’s final message to fans, which was filmed just 10 days before her death.
“Betty always had a special place in her heart for her fans, and I think that reflects in this message in that Betty just wanted to express her gratitude to her fans, her love to her fans,”Steve Boettcher is the producer.
Inside Edition was told by Betty White’s agent that she died without having any pets. He claims she did not adopt any pets in her last years as she didn’t want to die before them.
