Michael Jackson's Kids Raise Money for Two-Legged Dog

As they move on with their lives, Michael Jackson's children are trying to give back.

According to TMZ, Prince Michael and Paris Jackson saw a TV news story about Scooby-Roo, a two-legged puppy recently rescued from beneath a car in a rough L.A. neighborhood. The six-month-old Rottweiler needs a $2,000 mechanized cart to accommodate his birth defect of no front legs (similar to famed bipedal pup, Faith). The eldest Jackson kids decided to start raising money for the pup's new "legs" -- apparently unaware that they are multi-millionaires.

The children also seem unaware of their celeb status and how much good they're doing merely showing interest in the dog. Since the news hit about the kids' philanthropy, Scooby-Roo and the nonprofit organization that rescued him have received a lot of attention and help.

Sheila Choi, the executive director of Fuzzy Dog and Cat Rescue, Inc., a nonprofit, no-kill shelter in Santa Monica, tells Paw Nation, "We are ecstatic about the support we have been getting from animal lovers all over the world, including Paris and Prince Jackson. In fact, word has it that Demi Moore has been Tweeting about Scooby-Roo, too!"

Choi explains, "Scooby-Roo has been measured for his first set of wheels, but of course we are still raising the funds for his physical therapy and additional carts as he is a growing puppy. We hope that Scooby-Roo's message will encourage others to be a voice for these helpless, sentient beings. Scooby-Roo was part of an unwanted litter of puppies -- we want to stress the importance of spaying and neutering all pets to stop this pet overpopulation problem."

Once Scooby-Roo has completed his physical therapy and has his new wheels built, he'll be adopted out to a lucky family, and any additional money raised will be poured back into Fuzzy Rescue's important work. You can make a contribution to Fuzzy Rescue via their website.
