SANTA CLARITA, Calif., Dec. 9, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Television stars Lisa Edelstein (House) and Allison Janney (The West Wing) will join Kim Basinger as volunteer dog handlers at Hurricane Katrina Super Adoption this Sunday, December 11. All three actresses will be on hand to kick-off the event taking place at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. They will present adoptable dogs rescued from Hurricane Katrina to the public at the New Leash On Life booth.
This weekend's super adoption will be Lisa Edelstein's second turn as a ruffugee dog handler. Edelstein pitched in at the arrival of New Leash On Life's emergency caravan on October 7th, when 30 animals arrived in Van Nuys by caravan. She has also volunteered as a Nuts For Mutts celebrity judge for three years.
This will be Allison Janney's first experience as a ruffugee dog handler. The Emmy Award winning actress previously appeared at New Leash On Life's Who's Your Doggie? fundraiser.
