LCA’s billboard on Sunset Boulevard features Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan and Oliver when he was a pup.

Last Chance for Animals (LCA), a national, nonprofit animal protection organization, invites you to participate in a national campaign aimed at raising public awareness of a threatening epidemic: pet theft.

Nearly two million companion animals are stolen each year. Some are taken under false pretense through “free to a good home” ads, abducted from their yards, or are taken from humane shelters through a practice called pound seizure. These animals are then sold to research laboratories, dog-fighting rings, or puppy mills, where they are abused and often killed.

On February 14th of every year, LCA educates the public with the help of animal organizations throughout the United States. Your participation can make all the difference. By working together, we can educate the public about the problem of pet theft, memorialize the nearly 2 million animals taken each year, and educate citizens on how they can protect their companion animals. Join our nationwide network of organizations and individuals in this important crusade.

Nicollette Sheridan, 43, can still work it as evident by the tight red hot-pants that showed off her lean frame on July 20th in Malibu. Her doggy-pal Oliver kept the front-seat warm for a moment while she greeted a friend.

Oprah’s show today was all about the dogs. I meant to post this in the morning so everyone could watch it. Hope you have Tivo if you missed it, OR, let me try to give you the dog treats (so to speak).

Oprah had her dog trainer, Tamar Geller on the show who believes in teaching every dog manners.

Like helping Oprah teach her dogs the art of “no jumping”!

That wasn’t all that happened. Oprah also decided to visit a few celebrity dog lovers like herself. When she visited the set of Desperate Housewives, she fell in love with actress Nicollette Sheridan’s white golden retriever, Oliver.

But that’s not Nicolette’s only dog (and YEA!!!! we now finally know who the other little dog is she’s sometimes seen with!) She also has Little Fatty Princess, a cross between a bearded collie and a terrier. “She’s quite regal,” Nicollette said and also added that Oliver and Little Fatty Princess are like her children.

They’ve always been a source of comfort and love. I’d have to say are probably responsible for my sanity. I couldn’t imagine life without them. Animals have just always been so important to me and they bring so much. They really fill your life if you let them.

Then Tori and Dean made an appearance:

After Tori Spelling gave birth to her first son, Liam Aaron McDermott, her family was up to four “children.” Tori’s husband, Dean McDermott, says 1-month-old Liam is “our furless baby.”

Our family is three parts fur, one part skin,” Dean says. “Three of them are barkers, and one’s a pooper.”

Tori’s first dog was Mimi La Rue, a pug. After Tori started working with the Much Loved Animal Rescue, she was compelled to rescue her second dog, Ferris.

I’ve seen what it’s like seeing those faces at the pound and knowing there’s just not room enough to put all of them. It just breaks your heart.”

Then, Dean and Tori rescued Chiquita together. Tori says she’s excited for her son Liam to grow up with animals.

I always had pets growing up and it made a huge difference,” she says. “I’m excited for him to have little furry friends around that he can love and they’ll love him. Everyone told me, because I was so crazy and obsessed with Mimi, they said, ‘Once you have a child, you’ll realize that a dog is just a dog.’ And now that I have a child, I mean, there’s no other love like the love I feel for my child, but [Mimi] is still not a dog. I still think of her as my second baby.”
