With all the flak I give Katherine Heigl for smoking, it's only fair to give her props when she uses her celebrity stardom in a positive way.
So folks, lets give the Knocked Up actress a round of applause for yesterday's good deed - if for no other reason than that puppies are adorable and looking at pictures of them is fun.
Dressed in a cute cardigan set and casual jeans, the dog lover and her mom paid a visit to the L.A. Department of Animal Care & Control with the goal to promote awareness about pet adoption.
I was a little skeptical about the sincerity of Katherine's animal efforts when we spotted her at another shelter last year, but now I'm sold on her charitable side. And let me tell ya, after a long look at this little guy, I'm almost sold on puppy adoption too.

Thanks for the nice article and the cute pics of Katherine. She looks very pretty as ever :)
Katherine has been campaigning for animal welfare and care for years - particularly adoption. She did a big campaign for Pedigree a couple of years ago and has 6 dogs of her own several of which are rescue pups.
Her visit was part of a program called Pup My Ride to transport at-risk, small-breed dogs from Los Angeles shelters to homes in other states. The dogs were transported to communities where the demand for small dogs is high but the supply is low.
Katherine and her mom are funding the program through 2009 by providing a grant to Best Friends.
