peoplepets.comFIRST LOOK: Kellan Lutz & Dog Kola's Pet Adoption Ad
Twilight star Kellan Lutz has always been very vocal about his love for rescue pups Kola and Kevin. But now, the actor is taking the cause of animal adoption to a national platform, serving as PETA's latest spokesperson in their "Adopt, Don't Buy" campaign.
Shot by celebrity photographer Collin Stark, the advertisement features Lutz posed with his first dog, Kola. "She's my best friend," he tells PETA in an exclusive interview. "There are countless numbers of animals out there. It's our job to take them under our wing."
Lutz explains that he found Kola in a shelter, curled up and frightened in the back of a cage. "I touched her toe and said, 'Hey, what's your name?' " he recalls. "She spoke to me." Warned that she was a puller, Lutz decided to walk her anyway, and knew then that he'd found the one. "From that day on, I loved her," he says.
According to PETA, about 8 million unwanted dogs and cats enter shelters every year — and half of them are euthanized due to space issues. "There are surprisingly many animals in these shelters," Lutz says. "It's sad, and knowing that they get euthanized. For the fans of Twilight out there who have so much love, give that love to a pet if you don't have one."

"[Misfits'] an escalating drama about eight friends who spend consecutive Christmas Eve's together during their four years of college," said Tabb. "As we drop in on them annually, we watch the characters lose their innocence and form a dysfunctional family with interwoven relationships.
"Though their majors vary, what they have in common is a sense of humor, charisma, attractiveness, and nothing else better to do than spend Christmas with one another. These character arcs take place over four years, highlighted at their annual Christmas soirees at [Lutz's character] Scott's epic, rockin' pad - his parents' property investment that they are letting him live in while at college."
