‘Town & Country’: Nine Pet Projects

Nine women whose philanthropic interests run to sheltering cats, dogs, and grizzly bears are profiled in a cover story in Town & Country magazine (June).

Among those singled out as “animal angels” are Elizabeth R. Cooke, president of the board of Bide-A-Wee Home Association, a New York-area provider of animal shelters and other pet services; Clea Newman, the daughter of actor Paul Newman and director of development for Pegasus Therapeutic Riding, a Connecticut non-profit organization that provides horse rides to disabled children and adults; and the actress Tippi Hedren, who created Shambala Preserve, a California shelter for lions, tigers, leopards, and other big cats.
