Prince Harry has been touring the U.S., and what better way to cap off his tour than by doing something he loves.

While finishing up his U.S. tour in Greenwich, Connecticut, he played a charity polo game!

This isn't the first charity polo match he's ever played, as we've previously mentioned.

Prince Harry said:

A Texas non-profit organization has a unconventional way of bringing abandoned animals to new homes!

They enlist the help of truck drivers!

Which makes a lot of sense when you think about it!

They're always on the road anyway, why not bring a furry companion along the way to keep them both company!

Here's what the founder said:

Ever seen Animal Planet's hit series Pit Boss??

It's a docudrama that follows Shorty Rossi, owner of Shorty's Rescue.

They're an organization devoted to pit bull rescue.

Well, Sebastian Saraceno and Ronald Clark from the show have collaborated with indie rock band Post Trauma to release a song!

It's called Risen and not only is it pretty rockin', a portion of the proceeds from its release will go to SoCal dog charities and rescues!!

So they got to put a little more music out there into the world and they get to help doggies!!

Sounds perfect to us.

Check out the video (above) to see the music video for their new track!

Also, if you like the track, the single is available on iTunes and Amazon and the full EP, also titled "RISEN," is available on June 1st!!

Boston is currently still recovering after the awful bombing that happened during the city's marathon on Monday.

People from all over are pitching in to help, though some non-people are helping out too.

That's right, comfort dogs trained by the Lutheran Church Charities are now in the city, helping those affected by the awful tragedy.

The stars were really out last night in El Lay!!

Pia Toscano, Christian Serratos, Fivel Stewart, Brett Lockett and more were all at the event.

They're all looking so so so great!

PETA2 is all about young teens, and these young celebs gave up their time and precious young lives to help the animals.

All these stars were at PETA2's star-studded (duh) blankets for shelters drive.

Believe it or not, a blanket goes a long way in a shelter.

It can provide warmth and a sense of comfortable a poor animal who has no home and may not ever have the chance to be adopted.

Thank goodness for groups like PETA!!

Check out some more pics (below) from the big event!dd

How CRAY!

Sea urchin may not be the tastiest creature to eat, but considering that Kristin Chenoweth was trying to rack up some dough for her charity, Maddie's Corner, which is named after her pooch, she ate a spiny little critter on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Considering that the Hit and Run actress cannot stand seafood, she only agreed to eat it because she had a bet with the host. Leno told the starlet that as long as she took a bite of sea urchin, he would donate $$$ to her foundation that helps rescue and shelter doggies.

Luckily for Kristin, Jay had only promised to write a check for $500, but after she actually ate the urchin, he doubled the amount to $1,000.

And even though Miz Chenoweth was happy that she left the show with monies for her charity, she took to her Twitter to write:

This is so ahmayzing!!

A farmer in western Kentucky, Bland Hardison, had an interesting part of his will.

When he died, a whopping $225,000 was to be distributed evenly to every government run animal shelter in the state!!
