The Twitch streamer and political commentator said he donated $15,000 to Wags & Walks Adoption Center in Sawtelle, and was donating to every shelter he visited Sunday.
"We were overwhelmed by a generous donation he made," said Chloe Esperiquette from Wags & Walks.
While in the Twitter video, Piker said he was paying for the adoption fees for the animals, in the hopes that people could adopt the dogs for free, Esperiquette said that Piker actually sponsored the dogs' care. "We are accepting applications, but unable to adopt our animals out cost free in an effort to ensure they go to homes prepared for the costs associated with caring for a pet," she said. "We are reviewing applications and offering waived fees on a case by case basis."Piker's donation comes as it seems he himself is looking to adopt a dog, according to his Twitter page.
