You may know Shailene Woodley from the big screen… but we also know her as a rescue mom and the voice behind the new Mars x Calm Sleep Story! She’s teamed up with Mars and Calm to share how adopting can give both a pet and pet parent a fresh start. Here’s a note from her to future adopters:
“Bringing home Bear and Pharrah didn’t just change their world; my rescue cats transformed my world, too. They give me calm when I’m overwhelmed with a busy filming schedule and remind me to breathe, slow down, and live in the moment.
I want more people to see that adoption isn’t just an act of compassion for an animal; it can also be an act of care for yourself. ”
