From an A-list actress who has taken on the real life role of pet parent to a rescue dog to the array of animal-loving luminaries who used their star wattage to shine a spotlight on courageous canines during an awards presentation, stars once again showed their support for our pals with paws this past week. In this edition of Twitter Thursday we not only take a look at high-profile entertainers helping paws causes, but also one state’s week-long celebration of all our friends with fur, fins and feathers, a new New York City cat cafe that is helping felines find forever homes… and as always, listings of adorable, adoptable shelter dogs who need forever families to love. For all the news of Tinseltown stars helping our tail-wagging chums, follow @HollywoodDogs on Twitter!
