Celebrities are just like us! Despite the fame and money, they too need and love the companionship of a furry friend. Many celebrities not only love their own animal but have a strong desire to save animals all over. While many celebrities are very "in your face" about their animal activism, many chose to help in a less vocal but equally impactful way. Here are three of our favorite celebrities who use their platform to change the lives of animals everywhere. Actor Ian Somerhalder, best knowm for his role in Vampire Diaries is a huge animal lover and activist. Ian and his girlfriend Nikki Reed have adopted multiple animals to add to their existing family including a horse, a cat, and a brand new rescue kitten. Not only that, but Ian founded the Ian Somerhalder Foundation that focuses on promoting conservation and healing the environment. A main focus of it is working to end animal testing,expose animal cruelty, and empower no-kill animal shelters. Actress Katherine ounded the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, named after her late brother who also adored animals. The foundation works to diminish the number of animals entering shelters by offering low-income families spay and neutering services as well as funding the transportation costs for companion animals to be sent to no-kill shelters rather than ones who euthanize to keep numbers down Last but definitely not least is singer Kesha who supports a variety of note worthy animal causes. Even more impressive is the fact that she is the first ever Global Ambassador for the Humane Society International.
