The two-time Academy Award-winning actress said Wednesday that the Iams Home 4 the Holidays Pet Adoption Campaign has "struck a chord with my heart."
Her mission is to help 1.5 million pets in shelters find homes between Oct. 1 and Jan. 4.

Swank also notes that it's possible to adopt a purebred from a shelter if people have their heart set on a particular breed.
