Putting a song in the hearts of animal lovers, Grammy-nominated recording artist Moby is helping to sine a spotlight on dogs and cats who need forever homes in his new lyric video for his song “Almost Home.”
A collaboration with Damien Jurado off of Moby’s latest album “Innocents,” the near-zero budget video features some of the 400 Fidos and felines at Best Friends Pet Adoption and Spay/Neuter Center in Los Angeles.
“It’s always a good time to adopt an animal from a shelter, but it seems like an especially good time to adopt an animal, as it’s the holiday /Channukah / Kwanzaa / Saturnalia / Festivus / season,” Moby said. “So, I hope you like the video, and I hope you’re able to provide a home for a dog or cat (or gerbil or snake or any other shelter animal) this season.”
“The sad truth is that more than 9,000 dogs and cats are killed every day in U.S. shelters simply because they have no safe place to call home,” Marc Peralta, the executive director of Best Friends Animals Society- Los Angeles stated while commenting on Moby’s dogged devotion to help our four-legged friends. “By showcasing shelter pets to such a vast national and international audience, Moby is an amazing voice for these wonderful dogs and cats. He beautifully illustrates how, as a community of animal lovers, we can work together to Save Them All.”
To encourage adoptions, the Best Friends Pet Adoption and Spay/Neuter Center and the six Los Angeles Animal Services Shelters are offering a holiday happening with heart. Potential pet parents are invited to find a new furry friend at the $25 “Adopt ‘Til You Drop” pet adoptions each weekend through January 6, 2014. All companion animals are micro-chipped, vaccinated and spayed or neutered.
