times we hear of animals being shipped across country without vetting the final destination. I cringe when I hear this. Rescues should be kind, and always have a rapport with the animals. If you don’t see a professional and kind demeanor, it’s a red flag. Donating to a charity is wonderful because it helps the foundation to care for the animals. There are so many costly expenses; like rehabilitation, medical, shots, food, supplies, boarding etc..and to function we need funds from community. Be sure the charity is actually using those funds for the care of the animals and not exploiting these poor helpless animals. I just rescued a Bear (who was over 60) and other animals from a horrific situation in which the person was not legit and was allegedly running a scam, and the animals suffered. However, I never gave up. I postponed several of my broadcast projects, because I was on a mission to save these animals. I had no idea at that time what I would uncover, and it was most disturbing.
troublemakers. The loves of my life. They were on many red carpets with me, & one paparazzi photographer used to always say to me, “Heather, your dog Jimmy is your best accessory on the red carpet!” He was also a favorite with many of my celebrity & athlete friends, like Terrell Owens, Francis Fisher, Todd Bridges, and so many others. My big giant boy is 150 lbs and is my current pup I’m advocating for and caring for. He came from a hoarding situation. I rescued several horses, but I can’t keep them until I find a property for my foundation, and then I can give more rescue horses and piggies a home. I’m a vegan and being conscious of the well being of ALL lives is important and this is part of our programs, to show people how they can live a healthy happy lifestyle, for them and for the animals. Make healthy choices, please don’t eat animals. DD: What’s new and upcoming in Heather’s world in 2020? HM: I have this wonderful health and wellness celebrity style show. It’s a Remake of a variety style show from my great Uncle’s Hollywood Glamour days, but with the unique style of modern day programming. That’s exciting for me, because we get to make a great impact while entertaining our guests and visiting celebrity homes, and hosting them in our home studio. More to come on that. I’m raising funds for a special project - which I spent 4 yrs on, broke the 1st National story before my fellow news colleagues, and that is a big project. It’s a spy novel feature film based on real life, where every single thing we know has been compromised (more on that later) I am writing my memoirs, family history of the first days of golden Hollywood & those glass ceilings we have shattered as we evolve. These are stories of Michael Jackson, Prince, Michael Jackson, BB King, Aretha Franklin, Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson and the many stars and icons I have worked with. DD: So Heather, I’d like to ask what’s your advice on animal adoption, etc during Coronavirus COVID_19 times?” HM: My Advice on these Covid 19 days of uncertainty, is to embrace our “Staycation” and bunker down with a shelter dog or cat. We are all in our homes for the safety and well being of all our communities, so bringing a dog or a pet into our hearts and homes is another way we can do our part and make a difference.
That was a horrible situation and I learned very quickly that there are some very bad people out there exploiting and even harming animals. It took me 79 days non stop, some days 20 hours around the clock, but I saved them all from this horrible situation. I also now have these with the District Attorneys and Attorney General. That was an extreme situation. However, we hear things like this on the news from time to time, and we must expose it - for the safety and well being of these innocent animals DD: Do you have any pets and if so, do you consider them family, children, or? HM: I have dogs and many of the rescues are still always going to be in my heart, & my fur babies. I call them all my kids. Jimmy & Jake were the Dobie duo - more like the
