Miranda – who set up MuttNation, a non-profit organization that promotes the adoption of shelter dogs and spaying and neutering, in 2009 with her mom Bev – used the video to plead with her fans to "keep an open mind" if looking for a pet dog.
"I encourage you to keep an open mind if you're looking for a new pup," she wrote across the top of the clip. "These dogs have a harder time finding homes: pit mixes, senior dogs, big black dogs, dogs with disabilities."

"Even if you’re not in a position to adopt, maybe you have time to foster or volunteer – it all makes such a big difference."
Miranda and her husband Brendan McLoughlin have five rescue dogs in their home: Thelma, Louise, Delta Dawn, Cher, and Bellamy; and two cats Tequila and Macaroni.
