Bonnie Hunt features a pet adoption segment twice a month on her daytime talk show, the Bonnie Hunt Show.

The animals get their own video promos on Bonnie’s website, along with their background information, which makes it look very similar to an online dating service.

Maybe that’s why Hunt’s adoption feature is such a hit.

From Tails Inc.:

“It is entertaining when you see all these dogs and hear their stories when the rescue people come out and say, “We found this one at the railroad tracks, and we named her this. She’s about 2 years old, and we don’t know her story.” They try to figure out the mix. And then you just see some great family with three kids come and pick up the dog. It’s great.”

Growing up, Hunt and her mother welcomed a slew of animals into the home, even though her father was a little apprehensive about it.

“My dad would say, “We can’t do this. Not another one.” And then he would love them more than anybody. That was the whole premise of those Beethoven movies I did earlier in my career, where I played the mom who was like, “We’ll take the dog and hide it from dad.”
