Hilary Swank and her mother, Judy Swank, were out at the Iams Home for the Holidays event at Bideawee Animal Center in New York City today. The two little fur-balls with them are Machi and Buster (ok, so Buster isn’t exactly a little fur-ball). The event is meant to raise awareness for homeless pets, especially during the holidays when everyone could use a furry friend to cuddle up with. Hilary is no stranger to animal welfare. I learned from Paw Nation that she’s been involved with animals in one way or another since she was a teenager. She even owns two rescued dogs. I’ve never been a huge fan of hers, nothing personal just not one of my faves, but now I’m certainly going to give her a second chance. Anyone who loves animals (especially dogs) gets extra credit with me.
