Television game show host, Bob Barker isn’t the only celebrity encouraging pet owners to have their animals spayed or neutered - add Mississippi native LeAnn Rimes to the chorus.

Rimes is donating about $25 worth of pet supplies to the first 400 people who bring their animals to be fixed at the Humane Society of South Mississippi in Gulfport. Online auction company eBay is funding the project…

Rimes won’t actually present the items, instead she donated her time by shopping on eBay. The company provided $10,000 to celebrities to shop on the auction site as part of the campaign “Give Hope for the Holidays.”

HSSM spokesman Joe Elmore said Rimes chose to benefit animal welfare in her home state - specially at the shelter in Gulfport.

When members of Rimes’ staff contacted the society to find out the best use of the shopping opportunity, they were asked for something that would further the shelter’s spay/neuter efforts.
