Chris Pine Is Fostering Two Adorable Dogs & Hopes To Find Them Forever Homes

Actor and director, Chris Pine, 44, saved two dogs only hours before they were scheduled to be killed and now the Don't Worry Darling star hopes to find them forever homes.

The two dogs - Max, a 2-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix, and Jack, a 3-year-old Mastiff mix, have had multiple surgeries and training to get them ready to go to new homes.

People on Instagram are applauding Pine for doing this, and one person said, "I think it’s so cool to see celebrities foster animals. The animals may have a better chance at getting adopted, if you can say “my dog was fostered by Chris Pine!” Good for him for doing this!" Another added, "Celebrities need to use their status to assist animals, help change laws regarding animal abuse, help change laws regarding breeding, help rescues, etc. …. I love seeing people like Chris do that! Bravo to him! Sending love to those pups too!"

People Magazine has an exclusive with Pine and reports the actor said , "These two dogs ... they're still waiting for homes, so if there's anybody out there that reads this, I have two gorgeous, wonderful loving dogs that need a home."

"We have such a problem with adoption in Los Angeles and such a problem in the shelters in Los Angeles, it's really horrifying. So I'm a big promoter of adopting, especially here, because we need all the dogs off the streets that we can."

Some Things to Think About Before Adopting a New Dog

Adopting a dog, especially a dog that has spent weeks or months in a shelter, if an absolutely wonderful thing to do. But there are many important factors to take into consideration before you add a fur baby to your family, and they can include things like how much time do you have to spend with a dog? Do you work long hours? If you are gone most of the day it may be a good idea to adopt an older dog instead of a puppy who needs frequent attention and bathroom breaks.

Where you live. A larger dog may need a yard or close access to a park so they can have room to run, where a smaller dog may be better suited to apartment living.

What grooming requirements a dog has. Are you willing to shell out money for monthly grooming appointments or do you want a shorter hair breed dog who can do with the occasional bath?

Do you want a more playful dog, a dog that follows commands well, or a lazy dog? The AKC is such a wonderful resource for information on so many different dog breeds . You can also ask shelter volunteers what they would suggest for the best type of dog for your family. We are sure they'd love to match you with your forever friend. If you are interested in donating, volunteering, or adopting your own cat or dog, please check with your local animal rescue, breed specific rescue, or Humane Society.
