7 Celebrities Who Have Given Back by Starting Their Own Charities

Restaurateur and Beverly Hills socialite Lisa Vanderpump has always had a passion for dogs. Whether it's leading the march to end the Yulin Dog Meat Festival or showcasing her love for animals on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, it should come as no surprise that she created her own charity, The Vanderpump Dog Foundation, in 2016. The foundation fights the international abuse of dogs and even has a rescue and adoption center in West Hollywood.
