‘Dancing With the Stars’ Judge Carrie Ann Inaba Supports Best Friends Animal Society ‘Save Them All’ Campaign

In addition to being a fair but no-nonsense judge on ABC’s Emmy award-winning Dancing With The Stars, Inaba’s choreography has been an integral part of some of the most popular shows in television history including American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance. Her acting credits include memorable cameo roles in two of the Austin Powers films. As a dancer, Inaba broke ground and racial stereotypes as one of In Living Color’s original “FLY GIRLS.”

The proud owner of three rescue dogs and four rescue cats, Inaba took her personal passion for animal welfare to heart and founded the Carrie Ann Inaba Animal Project (CAIAP) in 2012. The CAIAP supports the rescue, welfare and well-being of animals by funding and creating collaborative programs that reduce pet over-population, and promoting the importance of spay/neuter, animal rescue and pet adoption.

According to national statistics, each day more than 9,000 dogs and cats die in the nation’s shelters. Best Friends has brought increased awareness to how people can get involved in the solution by adopting, and spaying/neutering their pets, donating, volunteering and sharing this message with their friends.

“I got involved with this campaign because adopting an animal is one of the most beautiful healing experiences you can have,” Inaba said. “Not only do you help heal the wounds of an animal who has been discarded, lost or who never had a family before, but animals also heal you. All seven of my ‘kids’ are adopted—some rescued right off the streets, some from the shelter system where they would have been euthanized, and some from no kill sanctuaries. Each one has brought so much joy into my life and has taught me lessons I needed to learn about life and love. Adopting an animal is a beautiful thing.”

Inaba returns to “Dancing With Stars” for an 18th season on the series’ two-hour premiere, airing Monday, March 17 (8:00p.m. ET) on the ABC Television Network.
