LOS ANGELES - Dita Von Teese helped People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) launch its ABC campaign Monday morning, joining the organization in urging people to help combat pet overpopulation.

Von Teese appears in an ad calling for people to "bone up on their ABCs" and adopt pets from local animal shelters and have them spayed or neutered. PETA reports that as many as 4 million dogs and cats are euthanized each year in the United States because there are not enough good homes for them.

Von Teese also is a spokesmodel for the MAC Cosmetics Viva Glam campaign and the face of the holiday catalog for Frederick's of Hollywood.
