Yvonne Strahovski and her dogs Chazzie and Wilbur are front and center in a new PETA ad that asks potential pet owner to “Always Adopt. Never Buy.” This message is dear to her heart – Yvonne’s two little pups were adopted from Ken-Mar Rescue.

“There are just so many dogs that are just as gorgeousâ€•whether they’re mixed or purebred or whateverâ€•they’re all gorgeous, and they all have personalities, and they all need a home,” shares Yvonne in an exclusive behind-the-scenes interview with PETA.

Watch the video below for a behind the scenes look at the photo shoot and more from Yvonne on why this issue is so important to her:
