John Mayer’s $25,000 challenge benefits dogs
Two animal rescue organizations are each $12,500 richer after the television show TMZ took singer-songwriter John Mayer up on his challenge to track down his mug shot.
After Mayer made the $25,000 challenge on Twitter, Harvey Levin and company tracked down a 2001 mugshot, taken in Atlanta after Mayer’s arrest for driving with a suspended license. The case was dismissed one month later.
Mayer wrote checks to two charities selected by TMZ, Ace of Hearts and Pet Orphans of Southern California.
Ace of Hearts is an organization dedicated to rescuing dogs on the day they are to be euthanized from various Los Angeles shelters and placing them in loving homes.
Pet Orphans of Southern California is a 30-year-old non-profit that also rescues and finds home for dogs and cats and works to educate the public on responsible pet ownership.
