Lerner and Rowe Gives Back visited three Las Vegas animal shelters on May 24, 2012, to donate approximately 600 bags of dog treats. Animal shelters have had a recent increase of animals to care for partly due to unwanted litters from animals who have not been spayed or neutered and an increase of abandoned pets left behind in foreclosed homes or rentals.
