Aww! Ian Somerhalder struts his mutt for charity

The Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder will be participating in Best Friends Animal Society’s annual Strut Your Mutt event at Park Sans Souci in Lafayette, Louisiana on Saturday, September 22, 2012 at 9:00 a.m. His charity, the Ian Somerhalder Foundation (ISF), hopes to raise $150,000 at this event.

“I really believe in Best Friends Animal Society and their mission of “No More Homeless Pets”, said Somerhalder, who serves as an acclaimed ambassador for Best Friends. “Their passion for helping pets really inspired me to work towards building an Animal Sanctuary through the ISF. Our sanctuary will be a safe place for all types of awesome creatures, including abused and abandoned pets.”


Yes, girls, he is cute and philanthropic! The Ian Somerhalder Foundation was founded in 2010 and its mission is to promote ““the importance of love and interconnectedness.”
