Betty White Was Brought to the Forefront Because of Timing

When her namesake passed away, there was a challenge that was put out to donate to local animal shelters. But the Saratoga County Animal Shelter put one of their favorites in the spotlight. The Betty White challenge was created locally to get this pit bull mix adopted, again.
