Stars Turn Out to Support Animal Causes

This year’s Best Friends Animal Society’s annual Strut Your Mutt fundraiser was the place to be! This walk for a cause is all about saving lives—every day more than 9,000 dogs and cats are killed in shelters simply because they don’t have a place to call home. Thanks to walk participants, this year’s Strut Your Mutt events raised a whopping $2,335,194 to help shelter animals, with the donations going to community and nationwide programs to help countless pets find their forever homes.

The stars were out in full force at the L.A. event, with Amanda Seyfried and her beloved rescue mutt Finn leading the charge. Also there with their adorable adopted dogs were actresses Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica!) and Natalie Morales (The Grinder), taking advantage of some super-cute photo ops.

Not to be outdone, Modern Family’s Sarah Hyland was recently honoured by the ASPCA, receiving their Voice for Animals Award in recognition of her work inspiring action on behalf of animals in crisis, star power, indeed.
