Kellan Lutz Urges You To Adopt

Posted on March 2, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Twilight hunk Kellan Lutz shows off his softer side in a new advert for PETA’s animal adoption campaign. In the ad, the movie vampire is cuddling up to rescue dog Kola, who he found in an animal shelter, for the animal charity’s current Adopt, Don’t Buy campaign. “There are countless numbers of animals out there.
