Jon Stewart’s tearful farewell to his dog, Dipper, on The Daily Show Monday quickly had the New York City animal shelter the pup came from inundated with donations. Five days later, the money is still rolling in.

"We’re just shy of $50,000," Tiffany Lacey, Animal Haven’s executive director, told CBS News on Friday.

「我們（收到的捐款）逼近5萬美元」，動物收容所「動物天堂」的執行長蒂芬妮．雷西週五告訴哥倫比亞廣播公司新聞。

"This is in memory of Dipper, so the donations will be used for the dogs," notably vet care, training, food and treats, Lacey added.

雷西還說：「這（大量湧入的捐款）是緬懷『迪普』，所以捐款將用於狗的身上，」特別是看獸醫、接受訓練、採買狗食與零嘴。

The no-kill shelter, which is in Manhattan, has an operating budget of about $3 million and houses about 100 dogs and cats.

這家位於（紐約市）曼哈頓、主張不撲殺的動物收容所的營運預算約有300萬美元，目前收容約100隻犬貓。
