Matt Joins The Humane Society of the United States to Promote Spaying and Neutering of Dogs and Cats

Hollywood, Calif. — Matt Grant, who has charmed contestants and viewers nationwide as the first-ever international bachelor on ABC's The Bachelor, also has his heart in the right place when it comes to the protection of animals.

Grant has joined forces with The Humane Society of the United States to promote the spaying and neutering of pets. In two new public service announcements, Grant co-stars with an adorable mixed-breed pooch and stresses the importance of working to stop the tragic overpopulation of homeless pets euthanized in animal shelters.

While he may be looking to start his own family, Matt has the right idea when it comes to the problem of pet overpopulation. "Spaying and neutering is good for animals, it's good for you and, most importantly, it saves lives," Grant said, referring to the millions of dogs and cats who are euthanized in the nation's shelters each year.

"We are so grateful to Matt for making a commitment to pets and taking time to speak out for their protection," says Beverly Kaskey, senior director of the Hollywood office of The Humane Society of the United States. "Celebrity support is invaluable in drawing attention to animal protection issues. Matt's willingness to get behind the cause of protecting pets shows what a compassionate guy he is and why he won't remain a bachelor for much longer."

Six to eight million dogs and cats end up in shelters each year, and many of them were the unwanted offspring of family pets. About half of the dogs and cats in shelters – three to four million – are euthanized because there are not enough homes for them all. Reducing the number of unwanted puppies and kittens through spaying and neutering is the best way to address this problem. In fact, in towns and cities that have implemented spay and neuter programs, the number of euthanized animals has declined significantly.

The two public service announcements featuring Matt Grant are available online here and here.

Sorry for the triple post, I just realized that I included the same PSA spot twice and I can't edit my post any longer. Here's the second one:

casualfan, thanks so much for the clips of Matt. That was so kind of him. I wonder if Matt and Shayne saw Oprah's show on puppy mills. There was a guy from the humane society on the show, and they mentioned the importance of having your pet neutered/spayed. I love a guy who loves animals!

TMZ has a new video clip up of Matt and Shayne, they caught them going out to dinner, Matt jokes that they are getting married next week in Vegas and then they ask about the green card... Matt and Shayne look quite cute together

Gosh it must be tough for them still carrying on the set up !!
These two are so cute together and obviously IN LOVE I cannot believe anyone that cannot admit that, or admit that Matt followed his heart, he ended up with exactly who he should have. what did he call her " his soul-mate"
My blessings to Matt and Shayne and to the rest of my fellow believers
Smile!
