MTV Reality Show The Hills’ star Audrina Patridge has decided to play angel for animals in the new promotion for Peta (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals).

The Into the Blue 2 star recently debuted her Peta billboard that says “Be an angel for animals. ALWAYS ADOPT. NEVER BUY.”

Patridge says she she knew choosing to adopt from an animal shelter is the only way to ensure that a loving animal will not be killed because there simply aren’t enough good homes.

“I wanted to get involved with Peta because I’ve always been passionate about animals,” the 23-year-old actress told People magazine.

“And I think this is a great way to make people and all my fans aware of all the animals that need a home. And a lot of people go to pet stores and breeders to buy their animals, but you should adopt, so go to an animal shelter and rescue a dog.”

By the way, the cute little pooch in the poster is named Speedy Gonzales, which Patridge rescued herself. The picture is mounted on a huge billboard on Beverly Boulevard in LA.
