Kathryn Erbe: Preventing Animal Cruelty


Kathryn Erbe ("Detective Alex Eames", Law & Order Criminal Intent), dog lover, is the spokesperson for the The American Mutt-i-grees Club.

Their web page explains what they do:

The American Mutt-i-grees Club is all about change and choice:
Changing how mixed-breed dogs are regarded, by celebrating the unique characteristics of each one of them, and helping people make the right choice - the choice to adopt mixed-breed puppies and adult dogs at shelters across America.

Straight to the heart (not the bottom line)
When you adopt a Mutt-i-gree from a shelter, your choice also says "No" - no to buying a puppy in a pet store that's supplied by the unbelievably cruel trade of the purebred puppy mills and irresponsible backyard breeders. If these puppy mills are stopped from bringing millions of puppies into the world, millions of puppies and adult dogs being euthanized each year might
be saved.

A world of change
Three out of every four shelter dogs are mixed-breed, and for many Mutt-i-grees, their lives end before they begin: No hope, no help, no voice. The American Mutt-i-grees Club was established to help join together mixed-breed dog owners - a group over 25 million strong - to incite change, and help these extraordinary dogs receive the hope, help, voice and loving
homes they all deserve.

A remarkable breed
like Mutt-i-grees, our club members are a truly remarkable breed, ambassadors of education and goodwill, reaching out to people who want to do the right thing and to make the right choice.


It looks like a nice cause, and Kathryn makes a great spokesperson!

What your doing is really thoughtful for the benifit of mixed bread puppies and preventing animal cruelty! Your Wonderful!..I knew you had a good heart! I could see it in your eyes. I love all animals and growing up,my parents always adopted our many dogs,we never bought one from a pet store..because my Mom & Dad felt just the way you do Kathryn! Sadly both my parents have passed away as well as all of our dogs..To remember our Dogs is to remember family...and it makes me sad,Especially when i remember my moms best friend..a friendly, quiet black lab & sheperd mix named "Frank" who would wait for my mom to return home,he would wait in a certain spot staring at the door..it was very sad to see him waiting for a whole year after my mom/his best friend died...the saddest part was when he finally gave up waiting,because he knew she was never coming home again.
