Exclusive: Pam Anderson to Save Dogs Affected by Oil Spill
Pam Anderson is doing her part to aid victims of the oil spill.
The DWTS alum, 43, will attend a Comedy Central roast of her Baywatch co-star David Hasselhoff in L.A. this Sunday -- but then she's skipping the afterparty to fly overnight to New Orleans and help evacuate dogs with PETA.
Anderson, the honorary director of PETA, personally paid local adoption, spay-and-neuter and flea treatment costs to relocate the pooches to Virginia, where PETA is based.
The Humane Society of Louisiana reached out to PETA to help save the dogs. They'll partnership up with the Virginia Beach SPCA to hold an emergency adopt-a-thon to place them. American Airlines and South West Airlines flew in PETA volunteers free of charge.

Says Linda Allen, the manager at the St. John the Baptist Parish Animal Shelter, "The oil catastrophe has made things worse for many animals, but our shelter, like shelters everywhere, is always full and will be until people spay and neuter."
Urges Anderson, "The real key to both the local and national homeless animal crisis is to spay and neuter dogs and cats and to always adopt—never buy from pet shops," says Anderson.
Tell Us What You Think
39Unless you are living in the situation, you need to keep your mouth shut! I am volunteer that has been since two days after the oil spill. I am the with a group of over 200 men and women that are here for the long haul. YOU DO NOT HAVE A CLUE AS TO WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT! I am working with PETA as well as other groups down here, and you are an embarrassment. The person on here from Louisiana is correct in saying that these celebraties are just looking for a quick photo and pat on the back. They are not actually doing a damn thing but taking credit for many issues that are either already being handled or do not exist in the first place. I agree, you can either come here and help out the needy or shut your mouth! Unless you are willing to do something, then don't say a word. PETA gets enough flack without the likes of you claiming to be part of them. South Louisiana is NOT having a take over of homeless animals, but what they do need is the support of the rest of the nation when it comes to jobs and health care. DONNA, honey, you really need to shut up or stand up and take actually take action. PEOPLE LIKE YOU GIVE US ALL A BAD RAP!!!!
Please don't try to slight PETA...if you would go to their website you would see the incredible things they expose about the cruel vile things that are done to animals in the name of research and entertainment to name a couple of issues that wouldn't be brought to light were it not for PETA..they are a wonderful organization and I thank God for PETA...they are tough as nuts because they have to be...big money is involved in these crimes against animals and they step up to the plate..long live PETA..please check them out before you make derogatory comments about them...
pam anderson hasnt made all the best career moves, but wow, do I admire her for all she has done for animals. Even if it's with PETA, who are a little over-the-top. Lord bless her for the kindness she's shown the the Earth's purest and most innocent creatures.
@I am from louisiana.....I hope you are spayed as well...with your filthy mouth...and I'm sure that with all the money you say you donated you have had to walk a lotta streets...keep up the long man hours and sleepless nights..ta ta we all gotta make a living
Thank you Pam for helping the helpless animals out there! You are BEAUTIFUL on the outside and inside!
It's understood that the wildlife need help as well. But dt the oil spill, there are tons of people who have to give up their dogs and cats bc they have no money to care for them. Therefore the gulf shelters are getting over run, and have no where to put them, on top of the already full status they have there. The VBSPCA helped during Katrina, and is here to help now. This is a good thing for the animals, and a big name like Pam Anderson helps shed light on the over population problem of unaltered pets. We just need to work together to help the wildlife as well.
I AM THE PERSON YOU TOLD TO GO SUCK AN EGG. MY BUSINESS HAD DONATED OVER 40,000 TOWARDS THE CLEAN UP EFFORT, NOT TO MENTION 100'S OF MAN HOURS AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS. I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT, YOU MY DEAR IGNORANT FOOL, DON'T HAVE A DAMN CLUE. SO, HONEY, YOU TAKE THAT EGG AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR A$$ OR GET OFF YOUR SOAP BOX AND GET DOWN HERE AND HELP US OUT, IF YOU TRULY FEEL SO STRONGLY ABOUT THIS. AND YOU FOOLISH BI*TCH, ALL MY ANIMALS ARE SPAYED OR NEUTERED. AS WELL AS MY NEIGHBORS. SO, BEING FROM THE "SOUTH" DOESN MEAN WE ARE IGNORANT, BUT OBVIOUSLY BEING FROM WHEREVER YOU ARE, DOES!!! IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO ACT, THE SHUT THE F U C K UP BI*TCH!!!!
Great, more tree hugging dumba$$ that have NO CLUE about what is going on in our area, yet you want to come on here from your trailor house lap tops in the liberal sinful west and tell us how to handle a situation that DOES NOT EXIST!!! You people are fools!!!!! The problems here are the ocean life and the animals and swamp life you idiots!! The dogs and cats here are by far in no need compared to the wildlife here in the south you foolish ignortant morons!!! PETA, YOU WANT TO HELP, GET A SPOKESPERSON THAT WANTS TO HELP, NOT SHOVE HER T I T S IN THE CAMERA!!! THE SWAMPLANDS HERE ARE CONTAMINATED AND THE BEACHES ARE ALL BUT DESTROYED. THE HOMELESS DOGS AND CATS ARE JUST AND EASY WAY FOR YOU FOOLS TO TAKE CREDIT FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT A PROBLEM HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@I am from La...why don't you go suck an egg??!!
@I am from Louisiana...you are one total IDIOT...Pam is very active in PETA and it wasn't for retards like you that don't have enough sense to spay and neuter there wouldn't be as big a problem..last year 4 to 7 million dogs and cats were euthanized because of idiots like you!....Leave Pam alone she is very active in animal rights because SHE CARES! What are you doing to help??
I am from Louisiana, and THIS IS NOTHING BUT PAM WANTING HER NAME IN THE PRESS!!! Hello people!!! THE SPILL WAS IN THE OCEAN, IT DID NOT AFFECT DOMESTIC ANIMALS ON SHORE! There are not dogs and cats running rampid and homeless here, at least no more than the normal everyday Heinze 57 you see here and there. PAM, honey, your an idiot!!! You want to help, help by SHUTTING UP or helping the movement to protect our marshlands that ARE REALLY GOING TO DISASTOROUS if the oil gets up into our waterways!!! Do your homework you stupid B**ch! This is a JOKE, do not fall for it! She is LYING about helping ALL THE HOMELESS DOGS AND CATS, because there are no more than normal running around South Louisiana, and that has NOTHTING to do with the oil spill!!! You West Coast people are MORONS!
Very nice thing to see. She's a compassionate person. Wish everyone did their part to make the world a better place.
Love her compassion. We need more of this in our world today. I may not care about her career or choices in men but she's all heart where our furry friends are concerned and it's a beautiful thing to see.
Pam --you are right to save----animals---, they have much more ---valor than humans--
PAM- THANK YOU! There is so much more to you than the outside and what people think. They truly underestimate your intelligence and basically just the great lady you truly are. How do other donate to help in specifically this effort
Now this is news I care about! Thanks so much Pam! Wish more people could be like you. Unfortunately, a lot of people who could make a difference are too busy twittering pics of themselves kissing their married boyfriends (Jessica Simpson). Pam is amazing. She is always doing great things for animals. She puts her money where her mouth is! Thanks Pam forbeing a hero!!!
On behalf of Lassie, Snoopy, Benji, Scooby doo & Astro, Pam we'd like to say we love what ur doing to save our friends. Ur the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is it that mainstream media is ignoring one of the most important news items on the oil spill. A matter of life and death. Hugh Kaufman an EPA official made it clear recently on Democracy Now when he asked the question "who is killing people in the Gulf" ... and who is covering it up. http://bit.ly/aqPZfZ
good for her!
that is so sweet of her!!!
