Doris Day is one of the world's most-loved and most-honored women. Although it has been decades since she last starred in a motion picture, her name continues to top the “most-admired” lists and polls, and her movies are among the most-popular on television and DVD.
Today, Doris Day's full-time career is her work with animals, and her non-profit organizations, the Doris Day Animal Foundation (established in 1998) and the Doris Day Animal League (which recently merged with The Humane Society of the United States).
The Doris Day Animal Foundation, which pioneered such landmark projects as “Spay Day USA” – responsible for more than one-million spays and neuters -- is returning to its roots to “help animals and the people who love them.” The organization will be helping to fund other non-profit, public service projects not aimed at goals like passing legislation, but at helping groups (or even individuals) who need help in their work caring for and protecting animals.
