Little Animal Shelter Spokesman
-L Munoz, ©Daily News, L.P. - Jan 9, 2006
AS THE SARCASTIC Detective John Munch on NBC's cop drama "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit," Richard Belzer tracks down demented sexual predators. But in real life he's doing cuddlier work, signing on to be the first spokesman for a public service announcement campaign for the
Little Shelter Animal Adoption Center
, a no-kill center in Huntington.
.
"A lot of pets were abandoned in Hurricane Katrina," he said. "Plus, there's always a need to adopt so they won't be euthanized. "After seeing reports of the homeless pets, Belzer said, he had wanted to help out.
.
So last week he spent a day posing with Munch, an adorable Shepherd mix puppy, and Tater Tot, a 6-month-old male cat. "I had the greatest time. It was wonderful," Belzer said. "Whenever a dog comes into a room your blood pressure goes down."
.
The PSAs will appear on more than 2,000 city taxis and in the Daily News, Ladies Home Journal and Entertainment Weekly.
.
Founded in 1927, Little Shelter
finds homes for about 2,000 pets each year, regardless of their age or injuries.As a kid, Belzer had pet turtles. At one point as an adult he had seven cats.At 61, he's now a first-time dog owner with a 10-month-old border collie-Beauceron mix, rescued in France and named Django after jazz great Django Reinhardt.

Author's Note:
Under the link to Richard Belzer in the News is an organization called Safe Horizons
, a non-profit organization that helps move victims of violence from crisis to confidence. The link is to their 2005 November benefit called "No Laughing Matter." Many comedians and other actors helped make this benefit possible, including Richard Belzer and his wife, Harlee McBride.
Although the Laughter Safety Valve Comission™ is a place for satirical humor, silly fun and just plain ding battiness... understand that the LSVC is actually a gift to one dear soul who helped this writer, artist & comic relief find more than just her sense of humor again...
and to thank him for giving me a Safe Horizons once more. Simply by listening when I corresponded, by praying, by leaving three beautiful words ...and by watching from afar.
Richard and his family will always be in my prayers.
(Amazing what a pat on the back will do...helps save lives sometimes.)
Attitude is Everything.
Love y'all,
