The fifth episode of the inspiring “Shelter Me” television series premiered Tuesday night, September 29, at the Writer’s Guild Theater in Beverly Hills, California.
Halo is the proud founding sponsor of this series, directed and produced by filmmaker Steven Latham, that highlights the many benefits of adopting shelter pets. Focusing on the success stories of fostering and adoption, the series hopes to encourage more people to adopt shelter pets and become more involved in helping their local shelters.
The latest Shelter Me episode, titled “Partners for Life” is hosted by Emmy Award-winning actor, Jon Hamm, and includes emotional stories about fostering pets, and law enforcement agencies that recruit shelter dogs for their elite K9 units.This episode also features legendary singer-songwriter, Emmylou Harris, who attended the premiere, and her amazing work helping at-risk youth and homeless pets in her community.
Jon Hamm generously offered a special mention about Halo’s sponsorship: “I’d like to give a special shout out to Halo, Purely for Pets for making Shelter Me possible. Thank you, and thank you to all of your customers for helping us spread the word about shelter pets.” And Halo in turn, thanks the series’ talented stars and producer, director Steven Latham. Halo is especially proud to support Latham’s vision—to break down the negative stereotypes of public shelters and convince prospective pet parents that shelter pets make the best pets.
