Hollywood’s Newest Trend: Pet Adoption

Photobucket

Some of the biggest celebs in Hollywood are saving lives … of the four-legged variety. No longer is it popular to walk around with a pet shop-purchased pedigree dog by your side. These days, stars are heading to their local animal shelters to find their furry best friend. Katherine Heigl's Hounds of Hope saves dogs from kill shelters. Sandra Bullock adopted a two-legged dog and a three-legged dog.

In the latest episode of "Celebrity Pet Project," one of pet adoption's biggest supporters, Mariel Hemingway, explains to host Theo Von how her mixed-breed cuties have changed her life. The actress is also featured in the new book, A Letter To My Dog, an ode to man's best friend that includes letters from owners including Oprah Winfrey and Hilary Duff.

I told her some of the issues with buying dogs at pet stores and how a lot of dogs get put down because they don't get adopted elsewhere and she was like noo stop making me sad. She hasn't gotten the dog yet so I'm gonna keep working on her until I can completely educate her on why she's wrong.

i seriously recommend the saddest possible youtube videos on puppy mills. i think the humane society of the us has a bunch from various regional mill busts. they make anyone feel like shit.

She's gonna hate me, I'm gonna do everything I can though. I have a feeling at the end she's just going to end up not getting any dog actually because that's how she is. May be for the best.
