Stars who stop by ** and PEOPLE's portrait studio at the Toronto International Film Festival have it really ruff — they get the chance to pose with adorable puppies!
The pawsitively precious pooches come by way of Project Paws Dog Rescue, a Canadian, volunteer-based, not-for-profit organization dedicated to rescuing unwanted dogs and giving them a second chance by placing them into loving furever homes.
Some celebs who are going off leash to play with the pups — while also promoting their films at the fest — include Ryan Reynolds (*John Candy: I Like Me*), Ethan Hawke (*The Lowdown*), Ben McKenzie (*Everyone Is Lying to You for Money* and *Motor City*), Stephen Amell (*Little Lorraine*), and more!
All photos taken in the NKPR IT House, presented by Q Tower. A donation is made to Artists for Peace and Justice for every celebrity who visits the studio.
Keep scrolling to sniff out this year's gorgeous snaps!**
