Jennifer Aniston Announces New Global Fund To Save Animals

Jennifer Aniston is launching The Clydeo Fund to support animal rescue organizations worldwide.

With every dollar donated, Aniston’s new fund will help rescue, rehabilitate, and find loving forever homes for animals.

The exciting news comes just in time for the release of Jennifer Aniston’s new children’s book, “Clydeo Takes a Bite Out of Life,” set to drop on October 1.

In a recent chat with People Magazine, Aniston shared her motivation behind the fund, saying she wanted to “create a fund where we can donate to these animals all over the world and inspire people to just throw in a dollar. It all adds up.”

She hopes her initiative will raise awareness and much-needed cash to help struggling shelters.

With every dollar donated, The Clydeo Fund will help rescue, rehabilitate, and find loving forever homes for animals.

The “Friends” actress didn’t hold back when talking about the heartbreaking conditions many shelters face.

“We can help these animals, and we can get awareness out, and help the shelters that are in desperate need of upkeep because they’re falling apart,” she told the outlet. “They can’t keep up. And all you see is that we’re euthanizing innocent, beautiful, perfectly, perfectly fine two-year-old dogs, or a puppy, or a litter. I can’t. It’s too much. It’s too many.”

Aniston has taken inspiration from her own furry friend, Clyde, to create a heartwarming children’s book series.

The actress’s new picture book, “Clydeo Takes a Bite Out of Life,” is all about motivating kids to chase their dreams and explore their passions. “When they came to me with the idea, it was like, ‘Obviously, I’ll make it about something that I fully love and adore, which is my rescue animals,’ ” she told People.

“They’re so focused on these phones and just disappear into this void of scrolling,” she added. “They don’t really spend time being stimulated by the world and figuring out what they want to do.”

“When I decided to partner with Invisible Universe to bring Clydeo to life on social media, I could have never imagined how much joy he would bring to his fans and followers,” Aniston said in a statement earlier this year. “I could not be more thrilled to be taking Clydeo and his stories to publishing, where he will hopefully inspire children and dog lovers alike with his adorable journey to find his true passion.”

Clyde, one of her rescue dogs, first made his animated debut on her Instagram back in 2021, and now he’s the star of his very own four-book series.

“I hope that my book, the Clydeo Fund, and all of the future work I will be doing to support these animals will inspire people around the world to consider adopting, fostering, or lending support where they can to animals in need,” she said.

“We are incredibly proud to partner with the one and only Jennifer Aniston and Invisible Universe to bring Clydeo’s silliness, kindness, and warmth to life in books,” Nancy Inteli, vice president and publisher of HarperCollins Children’s Books said in a statement. “Clydeo is not just a story about an adorable dog’s adventures, but also a celebration of the joy everyone finds in discovering their true passions.”

Aniston leads by example with her own beloved rescue dogs, Clyde and Lord Chesterfield, both of whom were adopted. Her dedication to the cause is a powerful reminder of the importance of choosing adoption and ensuring pets are spayed or neutered to help combat overpopulation.

The star’s advocacy sends a clear message: adopting animals not only saves lives, but it’s a choice everyone can make to make a difference!

With over 45 million Instagram followers, Jennifer Aniston makes it her mission to spread awareness about the importance of adopting animals rather than shopping for them.

Nearly every day, the “Friends” alum shares heartwarming (and sometimes heartbreaking) photos and videos of animals in desperate need of forever homes. Rumor has it that she may have even convinced her buddy Jimmy Kimmel to adopt his dog, Todd.

Through her posts, Aniston inspires fans to donate, foster, or adopt animals, giving them the loving families they deserve.
