Pamela Anderson is pictured with the two new members of her family:  dogs she rescued that were left abandoned in animal shelters in Louisiana following the massive oil spill disaster in the Gulf.

Pamela has teamed up with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), to relocate approximately 50 pooches to Virginia.  Not only is she helping them, but she has generously covered the costs for the dogs to be locally adopted, as well as paying for spay-and-neuter and flea treatment.

Pamela Anderson is an Angel for doing that!  She says:

“Everywhere you go, there are far more dogs than good homes, but the crisis in Louisiana is prompting people to open their hearts and doors to animals in trouble.”

According to WENN:

PETA campaigners were called into action by officials at the Humane Society of Louisiana, who pleaded for help to evacuate the shelter dogs.

They are working with the Virginia Beach Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) to place the pooches and even bosses at American Airlines and Southwest Airlines have stepped up to help – flying in PETA volunteers from around the U.S. for free to aid the big move.

Now that’s a beautiful thing!
