Carrie Underwood Fetches Attention for Animals

Posted: February 16th, 2010 at 4:37 pm  |  By: Alison Bonaguro  

Carrie UnderwoodI just celebrated the one-year anniversary of rescuing my dog from a friend in Nashville. And I wanted to yell from the mountaintops that rescue dogs are the best dogs. But now Carrie Underwood is doing it, so I don't have to. She's helping Pedigree with their sixth annual dog adoption drive so that more homeless dogs can find homes and more hungry dogs will be fed. "I can't imagine life without my dog, Ace. I've had a passion for animals my entire life. They're such sweet and gentle souls that love you just because you love them back." Underwood worked at a vet clinic when she was younger and still volunteers at a shelter when she is back in Oklahoma. Her rat terrier, Ace, appears in the public service announcement with Underwood. "He's smart and he's fun and makes me really appreciate all the little things in life because he is a little thing." Even if you can't adopt a dog, there are little things you can do. Like if you become a fan of Pedigree on Facebook, they will donate a bowl of food to a shelter dog.

    That is so sweet. I love dogs, and I would do anything to save them. I would love to get a huge farm and go get dogs from shelters and give them a good home. Thank you Carrie for all the work your doing for dogs. God Bless you Carrie. Lets go Carrie!!!!!!!!!!

    Carrie Underwood, is too traditional. She only has like one good song, Cowboy Cassanova. I always hear people talk about how overatted kenny chesney and taylor swift are… she is way more overrated then them.

    sam, why would u insult someone in an article about how they are helping animals. and considering carrie has 10 number 1’s, including 2 grammy award winning songs, im pretty sure ur opinion really doesnt matter

    Ace is an adorable dog and you can tell how much Carrie loves him. She has such a kind heart and continues to show her love and support for animals by endorsing their causes. I have been contemplating getting a dog and Carrie has really opened my eyes to the adoption program and it’s merits. Thanks Carrie you are an awesome young lady and an amazing talent as well. Off to facebook to become a Pedigree friend.

    Sam is a Taylor fan-you can see the fangs come out anytime someone writes something about Carrie. Carrie you are wonderful and thank you for giving of your time for this great cause!

    Sam you`re just jealous of Carrie`s success. She is a good vocalist and a good person with a good heart. But then you`re not a fan so you say negative things.
