We created a line of pet food called Nutrish that's made to human standards, and 100 percent of the proceeds go to animal rescue. One of our top-tier donors is the ASPCA, and they help us challenge animal shelters all across the country to get more animals placed in homes. Rachael Ray animalaspcacall share on social

It only looks like I get to eat a lot of food on TV. I really just get the one bite and the crew and guests eat everything else. Rachael Ray bitecroweat Change image and share on social
