Actress Betty White, 100, has supported animals through her TV show 'Betty White's Pet Set' and helping many causes, from Guide Dogs to the Blind to the LA Zoo.
Betty White served on the board of trustees at the nonprofit Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association since 1974, and as a commissioner of the Los Angeles Zoo for eight years.The zoo is renowned for offering quality habitats and enrichment to animals, and White is a big reason for that, according to Tom Jacobson, president of GLAZA.
She once arrived with the trunk of her car filled with empty toilet paper tubes she'd been saving, since she knew the zoo needed them to stuff with food for enrichment games for the animals. Betty White spent many Saturday mornings walking throughout the L.A. Zoo with a zookeeper and an elephant named Gita before the public arrived. “She has a really great rapport with our keepers and she’s always aware of the animals’ needs,” Tom Jacobson, president of the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association, told TODAY.Morris Animal Foundation
