KookieSista18 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I was watching some 'hollywood style' type show last week and they had a segment on about top 5 celebrity pets and who owns them. Of course I sat down to watch and ridicule the program for promoting these dogs (I can't help it Im a cynic :oops: ) Anyway,the first 4 dogs were the maltese,Chihuahua,yorkie and toy poodle.And the whole time I was whinging to my sister about people buying these dogs on a whim after seeing this show and wanting to be like celebrity's. But then I was plesently surprised when the number 1 dog was.........rescue dogs!It was really good,actually because the show ended up promoting saving a dog from a rescue :D . It shut me up for a little bit :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cairn6 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Yeah well because of the popularity of maltese, chihuahua, yorkie, and toy poodle ect. they will probably soon be one of the largest groups of dogs needing to be rescued.

between the wrinkles Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 many celebrities not only own rescue dogs, but they volunteer a lot with the rescue oragnizations. there's a few stories i've read about it. i couldnt tell you the sites though. bad memory. it's great though what some are doing. they're fame really helps to get the word out that many dogs are in need of a home. these celebs who buy from bad breeders just need a good whack. but i can't condem celebs who buy from reputable breeders with good intentions.

StarFox Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I always get so happy when I hear about celeberties adopting. So many young people (and older people) look up to them and it's great advertisement when they rescue. :lol: Actually about a week or so ago I was volunteering and two of the stars of The OC came in to look at the animals, I don't think they adopted any but they were definitly interested in a pug mix. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kendalyn Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 It's not that surprising. Most celebrities are of the "bleeding heart" variety. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincoandDahlilasgirl Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Theres alot of teenage idols that promote it.Disney channel has a program call "All about the animals" where stars like Hilary Duff host it and say where she got her dogs (little dog and remington bear) and most of them say rescues. They also have a prgram that donates to a shelter of ur choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
