Last week we brought you details on the Max to the Rescue: Whoville’s Have A Heart Pet Adoption Fairs to be held on December 11 and 12, 2010 at Universal Studios Hollywood. We just received a cuter than cute photo of the “Max” dogs–who answer to Dusty, Dexter, Buster and Scrapper, each who was living in an animal shelter not that long ago.
These four “Max the Dogs” were “discovered” by trainers who recognized qualities of playfulness, intelligence and, yes, a certain “look” that fit the bill for roles in the “Grinchmas” celebration as well as for TV and film productions.
“We’re looking for animals that have tremendous energy and want to play,” said animal trainer John McCormick. ”The same ‘hyper-energy’ that may have led an owner to abandon their pet may make the animal well-suited to movie and TV work, and for a role in Universal’s ‘Grinchmas,’” he added.
“It’s tough to visit the animal shelters and see so many great dogs and cats that are in need of homes,” said Mr. McCormick. ”We hope Universal’s Grinchmas’ adoption fairs will result in the rescue of dozens of deserving animals to responsible pet owners.”
