Paris Hilton may sing about seeing “what this love can do” in her Billboard Hot 100 hit “Stars Are Blind,” but she’s living out those words when it comes to her passion for helping animals.
“I am very passionate about giving back and it’s very personal to me,” the singer-entrepreneur — who partnered with Chewy to create her own line of pet food and grooming products “to give my pups the best life possible” — tells Billboard about lending a hand to pets in need this holiday season. “While my impact efforts are dedicated to help broadly with donations and more, I also like to go into shelters myself, and I love on the dogs, cats and more. I’ve even brought home some to foster or to adopt. I’m looking for a way to use my voice to do much more as the needs of shelters and pets continues to grow.”

Though Hilton, who is a well-known animal lover, may have more than adequate means to make monetary donations, she points out that — just as she does herself — volunteering is a wonderful and much-needed way to help. “I believe donating your time is just as valuable. Animals need to be fostered, some just need human touch for a few hours in a shelter,” shares the star, who is currently mom to son Phoenix and daughter London with husband Carter Reum. She also currently has five dogs: Diamond, Baby, Ether, Crypto and Iconic. “That’s the beauty of animals — a few minutes of love is so important to them.”
But there’s more you can do that doesn’t cost a single dollar. “Spreading the word, helping find homes even if you can’t take them in. You have power in just making the right connections with your own circle,” suggests Hilton. “Many shelters accept donations like food, treats, beds, crates, blankets towels and toys. Chewy has a great resource to find a shelter near you.”
