Celebrity Status

All the cool kids are doing it—SPCA style.

It’s not just the average Americans that are adopting pets from the SPCA. Some celebrities save lives as well when they get their dogs and cats from the SPCA and other animal shelters.

The Canadian teenage heartthrob Justin Bieber adopted a Papillion mix named Sam, and his girlfriend Selena Gomez followed suite shortly after by rescuing a husky mix pup named Baylor from an animal rescue center in Canada.

Other celebrities who have chosen to adopt four-legged pals from shelters include Jane Lynch, who adopted a Dalmatian mix named Francis in December of 2011. George Clooney, Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Mischa Barton, and Adam Brody are among a surprisingly large list of actors and actresses that have chosen to save a life and adopt from an animal shelter or SPCA.

Although your dog might not have the same celebrity status as Norman, the corgi terrier mix, you can still follow in Jennifer Aniston’s footsteps by stopping by the Peninsula SPCA today and finding the perfect pet to pamper!
