(PRESS RELEASE) LOS ANGELES — A year after actor and director Chris Pine saved them from euthanasia, two dogs – Jack, a three-year-old Mastiff mix, and Max, a two-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix – still need loving homes. The Animal Rescue Mission is seeking potential adopters, and Pets Global is offering a year’s supply of its premium Zignature dog food as an incentive amidst declining adoption rates across the country, and especially in California.

Jack and Max are just two of the over 23,000 dogs to enter the Los Angeles County shelter system since July 2023. Of those dogs, over 4,500 (almost 20%) have been killed, while thousands more await a similar fate.

“Our shelter dog crisis is worse than ever, especially for large dogs,” says Shira Scott Astrof, founder of The Animal Rescue Mission (ARM). “Having advocates like Chris raise awareness about pet adoption is crucial to help to spread the word and save countless precious lives.”

After saving the two dogs just hours before they were scheduled to be killed, Chris Pine, who has two of his own rescue dogs at home, also supported Jack and Max through multiple surgeries and months of training, restoring them to playful pups ready for their forever homes.

“That’s the great thing about adopting dogs from shelters. You go down there and you find one of these incredible L.A. street dogs and they’re the best in the world! I will tell you,” he adds, “It’s virtually impossible not to fall madly in love.”

“We know these are truly special dogs,” says Ellie Mosser, Community Relations Specialist at Pets Global. “Our hope is that by covering their initial food expenses people who may have been on the fence about being ready to adopt will get the little push they need to open their hearts and homes to give these boys the life they truly deserve.”
