He’s built a career playing snotty little know-it-all guys. He dates Playboy bunnies. But actor David Spade also has a humanitarian side, which he recently showed with a $10,000 donation to an animal shelter located in his hometown of Lakeside, Arizona, where Spade’s mother still lives.
David Spade has donated $10,000 to save the Humane Society of the White Mountains in his mother’s town of Lakeside, Arizona, a source tells Usmagazine.com.
“The shelter was falling apart, and they were going to shut it down, so he stepped in,” says the source. “It was far and above what they needed and ever received.”
According to the shelter’s web site, the facility specializes in rescuing animals who have been abandoned in the surrounding mountains. The shelter neuters, immunizes and cares for more than 3,500 animals a year until they can be adopted. Usually, I think David Spade is a snarky little jerk, but he gets points from this animal lover. I especially like that he did it under the radar without issuing a press statement or inviting a bunch of photographers along. Yes, I’m looking at you, Paris.

Awww so sweet. What a wonderful thing to do.
Didn’t he do something like this a couple months ago to? But not for an animal shelter?

Awwww…I’ve always liked this guy, but this just put him over the top, in my opinion. Sweet, David, very sweet.

I’ve always thought he was a little weasel of a guy, but this does bring him up in my estimation. Good karma for him!

Thank you David Spade. That’s great the shelter didn’t close. Now other celebrities should step in and contribute so it can “stay” open.

Well done David! I have the utmost respect also for those that support, or work in these facilities.

Hey Dave! why don’t you sell the photos of your bastard kid that you have on the way and you can donate to the shelter without hurting your pocketbook. I have heard of others that have done this and they get nothing but praise. Since it’s going to charity who could say anything negative…(sorry just had to throw a match on this pile of leaves..my bad)

Minor clarification, David’s hometown is Scottsdale, Arizona. His mom moved up to the White Mountains from Scottsdale.

To look at him is to want to give him a good whack upside his pointy little head
Yes, it’s very nice that he donated $10,000 to save the animal shelter. (Maybe he’s trying to atone for the abandoned bunny)
