Katherine Heigl Makes First Appearance in Years, Attends Dog Rescue Event at Mar-a-Lago
Katherine Heigl hasn’t been on a red carpet in two years, but she just made her return to the spotlight to support a cause close to her heart.
The former Grey’s Anatomy actress attended the Wine, Women & Shoes Benefiting Big Dog Ranch Rescue event on Sunday (March 8) at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla.
“Our biggest goal right now really is to diminish the number of unwanted litters coming into this country, which is what is overcrowding our shelters,” Katherine told the Palm Beach Post. “We hear the word ‘shelter,’ and we think these animals are safe there, and they are not. It’s not the shelter’s fault, and it’s not the fault of the shelters’ workers. It’s that our country is overrun with puppy-mill breeders.”
Katherine was joined at the event by her mom Nancy Heigl and they mingled with “Dog Whisperer” dog trainer Cesar Millan.
The event took place at Donald Trump‘s Florida resort and his daughter-in-law Lara Trump was in attendance, as well as former Fox News co-host Jeanine Pirro.
Katherine was last seen in public in January 2024 during a Grey’s cast reunion at the Emmys.
