In Honor Of Jon Stewart’s Late Dog Dipper Fans Donate Nearly $50k To Animal Rescue

Jon Stewart shared heartbreaking news on The Daily Show last week—his beloved dog Dipper passed away after 13 years together. Dipper, adopted from the no-kill shelter Animal Haven in New York, left a lasting impact on Stewart’s family. In response to Stewart’s emotional farewell, fans worldwide have donated nearly $50,000 to Animal Haven in Dipper’s honor. This unexpected support is a significant boost for the shelter, which operates on a $3 million budget to care for around 100 dogs and cats. The funds will be dedicated to helping the dogs, particularly important as many New York shelters are struggling with an influx of abandoned animals. The gesture beautifully reflects the love and connection between Stewart, Dipper, and their shared commitment to Animal Haven.
