Christmas At PETCO

PETCO Adoption Day

We held our last PETCO Adoption Day of 2011 at the Glendale, CA store on Sunday, December 18th, and it proved to be a special outing for the Heigl Hounds Of Hope. Not only did the public get to spend time with some of our wonderful pups, all of whom are available for adoption, but they also witnessed the Christmas spirit as the dogs got to pose for pictures with the in-store Santa!

Let Your Voice Be Heard Against Animal Cruelty

Animal Cruelty

The Jason Debus Heigl Foundation was outraged by an article published by the Los Angeles Times on December 14, that revealed a horrific account of animal cruelty within a city animal shelter. The cruel practices were perpetrated by a Register Veterinary Technician (RVT) in the employment of LA Animal Services. We feel strongly that all concerned citizens should raise their voices so that no additional companion animals suffer the same intolerable treatment.
