In the current issue of Los Angeles Confidential magazine, Katherine Heigl explains why protecting our four-legged friends is a cause so dear to her family. The feature, in the March 2011 edition of the publication (Abbie Cornish cover), focuses on the work of the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation and our Compassion Revolution program to directly address the pet population crisis.
JDHF founders Katherine and Nancy Heigl personally rescued a two-month-old pit bull from the California City Shelter last week. The puppy had been used as bait in dog fights in California’s Antelope Valley and suffered a number of bad injuries. The pup was taken to the vet where it was discovered he had a broken neck vertebra. After treatment for his wounds the youngster is now recovering in the care of the Heigl family.
