Chris Evans Surprises Shelter Dogs With Treats

Chris Evans visited Animal Haven in New York City before National Dog Day to celebrate with some pups, and give them a little treat.

"There are literally thousands of dogs waiting to be adopted all across the country, just like my dog Dodger."

Chris met up with Animal Haven's executive director Tiffany A. Lacey, who took him around to meet many adoptable pups in the shelter.

He met Pippa, an energetic pup with a "bum" back leg, Akira, a timid young pup working on social skills and a few more who was super happy to receive cuddles and treats.

He gifted the pups Jinx treats, and belly rubs, and he ended covered in a pile of puppies.

After touring the kennels, Evans takes time to gift Animal Haven's canines Jinx treats and enthusiastic belly rubs.

The star announced his partnership with Jinx last year, noting he and the brand had the same goals.

"You're always looking for things like this in my profession, finding companies or products that align with your passions, and obviously everyone knows how much I love dogs. Meeting with everyone at Jinx, they not only share the passion, but they have a fantastic product that my dog loves, so it was kind of a no-brainer."

Chris and Jinx share a goal of providing quality pet food to all animals, including those waiting for homes.

And to keep the spirit up, Jinx increased its give back donations to 5% of all online purchases as part of their continuing 'Give Bark' campaign, and are offering a full year of free dog food and treats to adopters of any dogs at Animal Haven.
