“It’s so hard, but it helps; they will be seen and saved,” she tells PEOPLE. “It's almost impossible to keep up. But I am constantly informed that so-and-so has been saved. So I just keep in mind that all I care about is if one guy comes out.”

The morning show The star and executive producer wrote her new picture book, illustrated by Bruno Jacob and inspired by one of her rescue dogs, Clyde, to motivate children to explore their interests. “They're so focused on these phones and they just disappear into the void of scrolling,” she says. “They don’t really spend time being stimulated by the world and figuring out what they want to do.”

Clydeo was first introduced as an animated dog on Aniston's Instagram account in 2021 and now has a four-book children's series. “When they came to me with the idea, it was like, 'Of course I'm going to do something that I absolutely love and adore, which is my rescued animals,'” she says.

The actress also wanted to “create a fund where we can donate to these animals around the world and inspire people to just throw in a dollar.” It all adds up,” she says. “We can raise awareness and help shelters.”

With every dollar donated, the Clydeo Fund helps organizations rescue, rehabilitate and find forever homes for animals. “We can help these animals, raise awareness and help the animal shelters that are in dire need of maintenance because they are falling apart,” explains the former Friends Star. “They can’t keep up. And all you see is us euthanizing innocent, beautiful, perfectly, perfectly good two-year-old dogs or a puppy or a litter. I can't. “It’s too much.” There are too many.”
