Net Reco for this Week: HILARY SWANK!
Reco = Recommendation
The photo shoot was a while back, so I’ve been wanting to talk about this for weeks! We announced today that Hilary Swank is our celebrity Ambassador for the 2009 Iams Home 4 the Holidays!
From the press release:
“After 10 years of successfully helping millions of orphaned pets find homes, Iams Home 4 the Holidays (IH4TH) today announced that two-time Academy Award-winning actress Hilary Swank will serve as the drive’s 2009 ambassador. Swank will share her personal experience with adoption and rescue in an effort to help educate others about how they can make a positive impact on the lives of homeless pets. Along with founding partner Helen Woodward Animal Center and nearly 3,500 participating animal organizations from around the world, the program has set a goal to help 1.5 million pets find homes Oct. 1, 2009 through Jan. 4, 2010.”
Some of my teammates were at the photo shoot, which happened at the The Helen Woodward Animal Center, and they tell me that Ms. Swank walks the talk–she is passionate about getting pets adopted!
Ms. Swank shares her life with 2 rescued dogs: Karoo is the smaller dog who she rescued from the town of Karoo in South Africa while filming a few years ago. She adopted Rumi last fall through an Iams Home 4 the Holidays participating shelter in Los Angeles.
