This holiday season, Ireland Baldwin is encouraging anyone who wants a new pet to adopt rather than shop. "I've seen firsthand how dogs are treated in puppy mills, I've seen videos and have gone on crazy expeditions with my mom. It's always been a soft subject for me and something I'm very, very passionate about," she said. She teamed up with the Humane Society of the United States to share her message with everyone — and show off her own rescue pup, Kota. Check out the video, and keep Ireland's plea in mind this season and next time you're considering a new forever friend.
