Washington, September 4 (ANI): Actress Hilary Swank has urged people to support a new scheme to rehouse unwanted pets.
The ‘Million Dollar Baby’ star became an ambassador for the Home 4 the IAMS Holidays Pet Adoption Campaign, which helps animals in shelters find new owners.
“I’m so proud to be working to help raise awareness about the importance of pet adoption,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.
“Last year, the program’s adoption goal was to get one million pets adopted in just three months, but this year the goal is even bigger.
“We’re on a mission to find loving homes for 1.5 million orphaned pets between October 1st and January 4th,” she added.
The animal loving Oscar-winner has previously adopted many pets, most recent being her two dogs, Karoo and Rumi. (ANI)
