Dallas Strip Clubs: Topless bar money Gingrich spurned goes to dogs
Topless bar money Gingrich spurned goes to dogs
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Dawn Rizos could have been bitter when former U.S. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich returned her $5,000 donation and rescinded an entrepreneurship award offered to her Dallas strip club.
But Rizos found a new way to honor her favorite conservative statesman.
She used the donation returned from Gingrich’s political think tank, American Solutions, to build a recovery shelter for injured pit bulls at an animal shelter outside Dallas.
“Newt’s Nook,” a climate-controlled facility at Dallas’ Animal Guardians sanctuary, was opened in Gingrich’s name to provide a safe, healthy place where the injured rescue can recuperate until they’re adopted.
“We’re thrilled to help such a worthy project,” said Rizos, who owns The Lodge gentlemen’s club. “I wish Newt were here to see these wonderful dogs and know that we’re giving them a chance for happier lives.”
