The lean, mean cheerleader coach on Glee is encouraging officials at the USA Network to save millions of dogs from being euthanized every year in shelters.

Jane Lynch wrote a letter to the network asking it to air a PETA ad during the Westminster Dog Show that encourages adoption in a rather dark, but truthful way by asking, “If you buy a dog, what will you do with the shelter dog you kill?”
