Hallmark has long been working to help pets in need, and thanks to their daily lifestyle show Home & Family and the efforts of its pet rescue expert Larissa Wohl, it has found forever homes for well over 600 needy animals. Adoption Ever After is committed to educating the public about the rewards of pet adoption and inspiring viewers to open their homes and hearts to all shelter pets. “I am so proud of this and thrilled to be the spokesperson for the initiative,” Romijn (pictured at top and below with husband Jerry O'Connell at the Crown Media TCA event) told MediaVillage exclusively after the announcement. “Our goal is to empty the shelters and find homes for every animal.
“I’ve been involved in animal rescue for a long time,” she continued. “It's a cause very close to my heart as we have so many dogs and cats, all rescues. Jerry calls it an adoption problem, while I call it and adoption solution. It's something very close to me so it's perfect. We also foster dogs till we find homes for them.”
