Carrie Underwood Donates $10K To Manhattan Animal Shelter

Country star Carrie Underwood cuddled up to some canines from the Bideawee Manhattan Animal Shelter at the 6th Annual Pedigree Adoption Drive in NYC on Tuesday.

The former American Idol grew up on a farm in Oklahoma and is a lifelong friend to animals. Underwood donated $10,000 to help homeless animals at the shelter during yesterday’s event — much to the excitement of fellow animal rights activists. Underwood has her own pup at home, a Chihuahua named Ace, who she recently said would be a ring bearer in her upcoming wedding!
