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.

How convenient - I was gonna make a comment about the dog in the Britney Petco post but decided not to. Anyway, specialty hyper-tiny breed dogs just depress the shit out of me. All I can think of when I see them is how like generally unfit for a healthy life they are because someone wanted a dog they could fit in their pocket.
And by "they" no, of course I don't mean one single individual person who purchased the dog. Obvs if you can find a teacup yorkihuahua ultra-mini whatever, it's because someone came along much earlier and decided to breed it.

I'm all for adoption - and mutts in general :)
