Chris Pine Looking to Find Homes for 2 Dogs He Saved from Euthanasia

Last year, the actor and director, 44, saved the canines — Max, a 2-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix, and Jack, a 3-year-old Mastiff mix — from [euthanasia](https://people.com/dog-mistakenly-euthanized-by-shelter-one-hour-before-adoption-pickup-8664630), only hours before they were scheduled to be killed.

In the time since, Pine has supported the animals through multiple surgeries and months of training to get them ready to find new homes. He is now working with [The Animal Rescue Mission](https://www.theanimalrescuemission.org/) in Los Angeles in search of adopters for the dogs, both of whom he is currently fostering.

Adopt don’t Shop

I don’t get righteous about too many issues but it is absolutely heartbreaking how many people choose to buy their dogs from breeders or puppy mills when a happy, healthy, loving animal is available at virtually no cost through their local shelter or rescue group. There are of course unique circumstances where it may be more appropriate to work with a breeder but for the vast, vast majority of households, your new best friend can be found through adoption.

For anyone who’s feeling lonely or aimless, I would strongly consider helping with an animal rescue or local shelter. To a dog, you’re the most special person on earth.

I hope these two are able to find their furever homes soon. My neighbor fosters dogs, and it can be so challenging to find the right people for them.
