Ellen Animal Rescue Stamp

The United States Postal Service has teamed with Ellen DeGeneres and her company, Halo, Purely for Pets, to release Animal Rescue: Adopt a Shelter Pet commemorative postage stamps meant to promote adoption from rescue shelters and encourage responsible care for animal companions. DeGeneres announced the stamp collection, which features five cats and five dogs who have been adopted from a shelter, on her day time talk show. The official stamp dedication ceremony will take place at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in Hollywood on April 30, when the stamps are released. As part of the campaign, DeGeneres has pledged to donate 1 million meals to shelter animals.
