Actor Chris Pine is using his platform to advocate for adoption, urging fans to open their hearts and homes to two dogs, Max and Jack, who he saved just hours before they were to be euthanized. Both dogs underwent surgeries and training under Pine’s care and are now ready to find their forever homes.
Pine partnered with The Animal Rescue Mission, a Los Angeles-based foster care rescue organization, to help Max and Jack find loving families. Jack, a 3-year-old Mastiff mix, and Max, a 2-year-old Siberian Husky-shepherd mix, were saved from a dire fate thanks to Pine’s intervention.
“These two dogs…they’re still waiting for a home,” Pine said in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE. “If anyone is reading this, I have two beautiful, wonderful, loving dogs that need homes.”
The actor highlighted the dire state of pet adoption in Los Angeles, pointing to overpopulation and high euthanasia rates at local shelters. “We have such a huge adoption problem in Los Angeles and such a huge shelter problem, it’s really horrible,” Pine explained. “I’m a huge advocate for adoption, especially here, because we need every dog we can get off the streets.”
According to a press release from Pets Global, Max and Jack are just two of more than 23,000 dogs that have entered Los Angeles County shelters since July. Shockingly, nearly 20 percent of those animals have been euthanized due to lack of space and resources.
Pine’s plea comes at a critical time as shelters continue to struggle to find homes for abandoned animals. Her dedication to sheltering Max and Jack, coupled with her advocacy efforts, is a testament to her passion for animal welfare.
The Animal Rescue Mission works tirelessly to connect these dogs with the right families. Both Max and Jack are described as loving and well-trained dogs, making them perfect companions for the right adopters.
