"In the movie, my character's dog Bolt befriends a little hamster who gets around in a ball - so we've recruited four Bolters to make like hamsters and roll through cities coast to coast in a giant hamster ball to raise money for the ASPCA," Cyrus said at the event. "I have always been an animal lover and I am a huge believer in what the ASPCA does to help make a difference for animals in need."
