Selma Blair Devotes Time to Dogs

Selma Blair and Wink

In between starring in Hollywood projects, kind-hearted star Selma Blair works part-time at a Los Angeles dog shelter.

The actress helps nurse injured and disabled strays at the Lange Foundation.

The Hellboy star came across the refuge when she was shopping for her own pet – her one-eyed pooch, Wink.

Sources tell In Touch Weekly magazine Blair walks, feeds and bathes the strays at the group’s headquarters whenever she gets time.

During an interview with A Girls World, Selma revealed the following:

AGW: What, in your life, works as an anti-drug for you?

Selma: I’d have to say my dog. That’s the most honest thing that I can give you. Having my pet around has curtailed all my negative behavior that I do when I isolate. When I’m by myself, the stuff that you want to do, self sabotaging behavior or whatever, I find that taking a walk or hugging my dog or petting my dog is the simplest thing or taking someone else’s dog for a walk.

AGW: What kind of dog do you have?

Selma: I have a one eyed dog named Wink. She’s here, down the hall. She’s great. She’s a Jack Russell mutt, I think. She’s built all wrong. I adopted her from the Lange Foundation that has the most amazing misfit dogs in the world. You want a three-legged dog with a wheel chair or a dog that has no bowel control, that’s the place to go. There are amazing dogs. They are mostly older dogs and their owners died. Very safe dogs, bomb proof dogs where you could throw a book at them and they’d read it. They’re completely the cutest and sweetest dogs, and so, I have Wink and she’s playful and wonderful and she saved me from myself many times.
