So why is actress Debbie Reynolds connected to Ellen DeGeneres’ first pet, when she was 5 or 6 years old?

We’re just pleased that the popular magazine understands why Ellen is connected to Halo, explaining “Not surprisingly, Ellen is co-owner of the pet-care company Halo.”

From EllenTV.com: “Today Ellen welcomed Tia Torres to the show to talk about her amazing work at the Villalobos Rescue Center. She rescues pit bulls from terrible situations and rehabilitates them with the help of recently paroled convicts. Watch now as she shares her incredible work with Ellen.”

You’ve seen Tia Torres on Animal Planet, and we couldn’t be more proud to help support her heart warming work!

The animal-loving couple are co-chairs of Farm Sanctuary’s “Peace for the Animals,” a star-studded holiday auction filled with 65 unique — and pricey — items: a meeting with Alicia Silverstone, yoga with Russell Simmons, a private-catered dinner with Big Love’s Ginnifer Goodwin, VIP tickets to The Ellen DeGeneres Show and more! Bidding closes next Tuesday, Dec. 15.

Farm Sanctuary is one of the nation’s leading farm animal protection organizations. It works to end cruelty to farm animals and promotes compassionate living through rescue, education and advocacy. Two shelters — one in Watkins Glen, N.Y., and the other in Orland, Calif. — provide lifelong care for hundreds of rescued animals. All proceeds from the “Peace for the Animals” auction will go directly to Farm Sanctuary.

Why does PetMD’s popular “Haute or Not” column think Ellen DeGeneres is haute? They explain, “Of course we love her for not only standing up for what she believes in, but for who she is. No shame, no hiding away, or living under pretense. Yep, we really do love her for that, indeed. However, we love her even more for her devotion to animals and their welfare.

“Last year she bought into Halo, a company that produces healthy, natural, and high quality food for cats and dogs. We’ve used this food on our beloved babies and they absolutely love it! Being that it’s human-grade pet food, people can eat it too, but … we have to admit, we haven’t had the pleasure.

“On her talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, she constantly highlights people and groups dedicated to helping animals. And together with Halo, donated $10,000 to Rescue Ink, a rescue group of “tattoo-covered, motorcycle-riding guys that do what it takes to stop animal abuse! (Within the law, of course).”
