Why KeithOlbermann pivoted from politics to rescue pups
, Keith Olbermann said he "was born again" when he got a dog a few years earlier. "I realized that dogs explain enough of the meaning of life that you don't need to know any of the other possible meanings of life," he added. — and decided to formally retire from political analysis and commentary . These days, he is still active on social media — but now he's using his platform to encourage his followers to rescue at-risk dogs in New York's shelters and beyond.
Olbermann has also put his money where his mouth is, helping to defray the costs of adoptions and medical assessments or procedures. "I try to keep myself to a budget of no more than $1,000 a week in dog charity," he said in an email. "Happily, I often fail." "Having dogs for the first time at such an advanced age, I can appreciate them in ways that people who've had them all their lives might not be able to," he said. "Just how much of a positive, clarifying influence they can have on your life. So, every dog I help is really a way to say thank you to my dogs for the improvements they've made to my existence."
"We don't have a humongous advertising budget, so he helps tremendously," said Katy Hansen, the ACC's director of marketing and communications. "We are so grateful."
