Adoptable pets will be available Aug. 27 at UltraStar Multi-tainment Center.

On Friday, Aug. 26, otherwise known as National Dog Day, (#NationalDogDay) the movie “Space Dogs: Adventure to the Moon” will land in select theaters throughout Arizona.

Producers decided to take this premiere a step further by making this an opportunity to aid in finding forever homes for some of the area’s homeless pet population. The film is pairing up with animal rescue groups like the Pinal County Animal Shelter, Arizona Animal Welfare League and #LovePup, a group founded by local radio personality Johnjay Van Es and his wife Blake.

Adoptable pets will be on hand on Saturday, Aug. 27, starting at 11 a.m. at the UltraStar Multi-tainment Center at Ak-Chin Circle in Maricopa.

In addition to the adoptable pets on hand, the group has partnered with other pet vendors in the area, to include Pet Planet, Arizona Animal Welfare League and more. A portion of ticket sales from the premier will benefit #LovePup.

“Space Dogs: Adventure to the Moon” is the latest creation from Epic Pictures.  The picture is the third installment in the “Space Dogs” franchise. With the voices of TV and film actress Alicia Silverstone and recording artist and actress Ashlee Simpson, the newest adventure follows the adventures of Pushok the dog and his search for his long lost father on the moon.

In addition to the adoption event, there will be character meet-and-greet photo opportunities, movie promo giveaways and information on the #LovePup, #LoveUp movements as well as the Johnjay & Rich Care for Kids Foundation.
