Oscar winner Hilary Swank has been teamed up with pet food maker Iams and adoption agencies worldwide in an effort to help find 1.5 million pets a new home.
“I’m so proud to be working with Iams Home 4 the Holidays to help raise awareness about the importance of pet adoption,” Swank said in a statement. “Last year, the program’s adoption goal was to get 1 million pets adopted in just three months, but this year the goal is even bigger – we’re on a mission to find loving homes for 1.5 million orphaned pets between Oct. 1 and Jan. 4.”
The actress has two dogs, Karoo and Rumi, with Swank saying she rescued Karoo from the side of a road while filming in South Africa a few years ago and adopted Rumi last fall.
