Heigl Helps Save Christmas Chihuahuas
Written by Eric on December 06, 2009 Actress Katherine Heigl has given 25 Chihuahuas a special early Christmas gift – their lives.
The pooches, all strays, were due to be put to sleep when the Knocked Up star learned of their plight and helped find them a new home.
According to People magazine, Heigl and her mother’s Jason Debus Heigl Foundation donated $25,000 (£15,625) so the pets could be flown from Los Angeles to their new families in Boston, Massachusetts.
The dogs will be made available for adoption at the Humane Society for Greater Nashua and Salem Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire.
Humane Society director Karen Bill tells the publication, “All 25 would have been euthanized if we didn’t take them. We’re just so happy to be saving their lives.”

Katherine Heigl’s Foundation Saves the Lives of 25 Chihuahuas
Written by Jess on December 04, 2009 Whether they knew it or not, travelers on an American Airlines flight to Boston on Wednesday night had some VIPs joining them onboard: 25 adoptable Chihuahuas. Transported from Kinder Rescue in Los Angeles to the Humane Society for Greater Nashua of New Hampshire (HSGN), the pups were being flown to a better future, thanks in part to the generosity of actress Katherine Heigl.
HSGN executive director Karen Bill and Kinder Rescue director Laurel Kinder had been trying for about three months to move a surplus of Chihuahuas from Hollywood to the northeast. Faced with an unbearably long drive and an expensive flight, solutions were scarce. But after contacting the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation — founded in honor of the Grey’s Anatomy star’s late brother and run by her and her mother — the problem was solved: The organization, which supports animal rescue efforts, offered $25,000 to fly the pups from the West Coast. “It was amazing,” Bill tells PEOPLEPets.com. “The ideal situation come true.”
Wednesday night, the 25 Chihuahuas were greeted at Boston’s Logan International Airport by volunteers from HSGN. Five of the animals went to the Salem Animal Rescue League of N.H., and the rest were happily situated in Nashua by 6 p.m.
Though staffers at HSGN haven’t spoken to Heigl directly, they plan to thank her heartily for her donation. “We’re putting together a photo CD of all the dogs, from the time we met them at the airport to the moment they go home with their new families,” says Bill. “We want her to know how grateful we are.”
The pooches — who range in age from about 1 to 4 years old — are currently undergoing medical evaluations and all have veterinary appointments Friday, and will be available for adoption on Saturday at 10 a.m. “The response has been phenomenal,” Bill says. “We had more than 40 voicemails Thursday morning from families inquiring about these dogs. I can guarantee we’ll have a line out the door starting at 9:30.” Soon all of the dogs will have Hollywood-themed names, too, to tie them to their L.A. roots. “We already have a Stallone, because he’s a little tough guy,” Bill laughs. “I think we’ll end up with a J. Lo, a Latoya, and more.”
While Chihuahuas are seemingly everywhere in Los Angeles, they’re somewhat more scarce in the northeast. “It’s a Hollywood-made crisis,” Bill says. “From Beverly Hills Chihuahua to Paris Hilton, people see these dogs and think they’re cute accessories, but they’re not. They’re living beings that need attention.”
Bill maintains they make great housepets because they’re relatively easy to take care of, can thrive in colder climates and are extremely loyal. “All 25 would have been euthanized if we didn’t take them,” she says. “We’re just so happy to be saving their lives.”

Grey’s Anatomy’s New Mommies Return to Set
Written by Jess on October 24, 2009 The Grey’s Anatomy cast is whole again! New moms Ellen Pompeo and Katherine Heigl returned to work on the show this week, PEOPLE has learned.“They’re both back at work and everyone’s really happy to see them,” says a show source.
Pompeo, who welcomed Stella Luna Pompeo Ivery on Sept. 15, won’t be absent from any episodes of the show thanks to the production team’s planning ahead for the actress’s maternity leave by pre-taping Meredith’s scenes.
After adopting 10-month-old baby Naleigh on Sept. 10 — and taking five weeks off to film the romantic comedy Life As We Know It — Heigl also returned to the set this week. Heigl’s character Izzie will return to Seattle Grace in the episode airing Nov. 12, the same episode where guest star Kim Raver will begin her stint on the show.
No word on whether or not Stella and Naleigh have come to work with their moms yet, but if Chyler Leigh’s experience with 5-month-old Anniston is any indication, they’re more than welcome on the family-friendly set. “My trailer is overtaken by kid’s stuff. Anniston has a buzzy chair, diapers, wipes, formula, toys,” she told PEOPLE in August. And the cast takes to it well, too. “Justin
[Chambers] crowned [Anniston] baby Elvis because of her mowhawk!”
One thing is for sure — soon Anniston, Naleigh and Stella will have a new playmate: Eric Dane and his wife Rebecca Gayheart are expecting their first child together next year.
