Katherine Heigl recently pledged $1 million to spay and neuter programs in Los Angeles. Although I can see this is a good idea, I feel sorry for all of those pets losing their balls.
She is kicking off a pet initiative to increase awareness and help curb the pet population crisis. Each year 500,000 animals without homes are sheltered and euthanized in California, costing the state $250 million.
"What's happening is not only inhumane and morally reprehensible, it's economically irresponsible," Heigl said. "Killing is not a solution."
The project is in association with the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, which was named after her brother who was killed in a car accident 24 years ago.
But the foundation isn't just focused on sterilizing your best friends, the JDHF will continue to support Learn to be a Best Friend (a training and education obedience program); transport programs moving animals from local shelters where they would be euthanized to humane societies, rescue organizations and "no kill" shelters; and continue to promote pet adoption.
Katherine Heigl - what a weird looking sweetheart!
