KEY POINTS:
More than 40 celebrities, including Reese Witherspoon and Orlando Bloom, have signed wooden "dog bones" for an online auction to benefit the Mississippi Animal Rescue League.
The auction is being held on the Charity Folks website on April 12. Lauren Bacall, Doris Day, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Donald Trump, Alec Baldwin, B.B. King, Morgan Freeman, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Betty White have also signed bones.
Proceeds from the auction and this year's Fur Ball in August, will go to the new shelter's operating expenses.
