Best Friends Animal Society Launches ‘Acclaimed Ambassador’ Program; Celebrities to Help Spread Word About Homeless Pets in USA
The program, in which celebrities from all walks of life lend their name to Best Friends Animal Society’s national work on behalf of homeless pets, is in full swing with the introduction of its own web site and ambassadors will be at work on many projects in 2012.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 12, 2011

Best Friends Animal Society, one of America’s best known animal welfare organizations, announces its new Acclaimed Ambassadors program featuring celebrities amping up their star power on behalf of homeless pets everywhere.
The program, in which celebrities from all walks of life lend their name to Best Friends' national work on behalf of homeless pets, is in full swing with the introduction of its own web site and ambassadors will be at work on many projects in 2012.
“From the time we started working in Los Angeles in the early 1990s, we have had the support of many people in the entertainment industry,” said Silva Battista, a co-founder of Best Friends Animal Society. “In our new Acclaimed Ambassadors program we have a formal platform through which our celebrity friends can show their support for our mission.
"Best Friends Acclaimed Ambassadors are involved in many aspects of the organization’s outreach programs, as well as visiting and volunteering at our sanctuary for homeless pets in southern Utah. They also help us promote timely issues through social media sites.”
Typical of the celebrities' activities is is the recently released “I Believe” television public service announcement (PSA) starring actors Lisa Edelstein and James Avery and singer/musicians Travis Clark and Emmylou Harris, all of whom speak out on behalf of the animals. The PSA recently made its debut in selected markets and will continue to be circulated during the holiday season.
Another example of a celebrity helping Best Friends spread a message of animal kindness was a recent article in Rolling Stone Magazine about singer/songwriter Willie Nelson’s open letter to the residents of Ohio. Nelson wrote a letter to the Ohio legislature to show support for Ohio House Bill 14, which would reverse a law that declares certain dog breeds inherently vicious while strengthening associated laws targeting irresponsible dog owners.
In the past year, Travis Clark of the “We the Kings” rock band appeared in a humorous video PSA as part of the organization’s “Invisible Dogs” campaign, designed to get people thinking about the homeless dogs in local shelters waiting to be seen and adopted.
Actress Rachelle Lefevre has served as spokesperson for Best Friends’ puppy mill initiatives including this PSA. New York-based actor Kevin Conway, who manages his own community cat colony, did a PSA on behalf the organization's efforts to help free-roaming cats.

CITAZIONE

Lisa Edelstein Plays House With Her Three Rescue Dogs

If Lisa Edelstein, star of FOX’s Hit TV show, House, was asked the classic question, “what makes a house a home?” her answer would have to be a home filled with the pitter patter of little paws. Actually, the pitter patter of her three beloved dogs; “Sandwich”, “Wolf E.” and “Bumpa”. This accomplished actor has an equal passion for her flourishing career and her devotion to her canines. Edelstein’s pets are as eclectic as the roles she plays.

Sandwich was the first animal to join Edelstein’s family. Sandwich, is a Shepherd mix that was given to Ms. Edelstein by an old roommate who couldn’t keep the dog. Sandwich was unfortunately hit by a car that temporarily prevented the dog from walking. “Sandwich needed to be carried out very carefully in order to go to the bathroom and even then, I had to hold her rear end off the ground while she did her business,” says Edelstein. Sandwich’s condition was very intense for a month, but she eventually pulled through. Miraculously, she progressed and although she has a shortened leg and a reconstructed hip, she was top in her agility class at doggie school.

Edelstein found Wolf E., a golden version of an American Eskimo, after she visited a neighbor to retrieve a borrowed item. Wolf E. literally fell on Edelstein’s feet because of serious existing health problems, including partial paralysis and suspected brain damage. Edelstein asked the neighbor what was wrong with Wolf E., he replied that the dog is just like that and he leaves the dog in the courtyard. Edelstein, with her incurable love of dogs asked if she could take Wolf E. home for the night to be with her, her boyfriend and Sandwich.“We fell in love with him, damage and all. I called the next day to see if we could keep him and the guy gave him up immediately,” says Edelstein.

Wolf E. had seizures anytime he got anxious, excited, happy or scared, and any new environment would send him twitching to the floor and chewing. After putting her dog on several medications that didn’t work, she realized that Wolf E. had an extreme type of a nervous tick. “I weaned him off the drugs and put him on a brief homeopathic program, little by little as his confidence grew, and as his sense of security increased, he slowly relearned how to walk…they just stopped!” proclaims Edelstein.

The third and final dog at Casa de Edelstein is Bumpa, a purebred mutt mix. Bumpa was abandoned and found near Dodger Stadium by people who eventually decided not to keep her anymore. They had a garage sale and Bumpa was one of the free giveaways. “I took her home,” says Edelstein.

“We love to go to off leash parks and run,” says Edelstein, and “they love the beach too.” Bumpa is ball-obsessed, Sandwich loves squeaky stuffed animals, and Wolf E. just loves to be pet behind the ears. “The way we function as a unit when we are on hikes, the way they listen so beautifully, it’s always amazing, always inspiring and always makes me feel great,” explains Edelstein.

Ms. Edelstein volunteers and promotes the fair treatment of animals. She generously devotes her time to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and their efforts to work with public and humane groups everywhere that actively find animal’s homes and crusade against the homeless animal crisis.
