As Supergirl premieres this summer, her loyal dog Krypto is inspiring moviegoers to adopt pets from shelters, with adoption fees waived at select centers in a nationwide effort to save more animals.
- Adoption fees waived during Supergirl movie release period
- Campaign supports Best Friends’ no-kill shelter mission
- Community involvement crucial for saving shelter pets
What happened
After Krypto the dog stole the show in the recent Superman film, Best Friends Animal Society joined forces again with Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios to promote pet adoption. With the arrival of Supergirl in theaters on June 26, fans are encouraged to visit their nearest animal shelter to adopt their own loyal companion. To make this easier, adoption fees for dogs will be covered from June 22 through July 5 at all Best Friends Pet Adoption Centers and Animal Sanctuary locations across the United States.
This initiative is part of a larger effort to support shelter pets and increase adoption rates nationwide. The collaboration builds on the idea that every shelter pet deserves a loving home, while welcoming adopters into the joyful experience of pet companionship. It follows a successful campaign that began with the Superman movie, where interest in dog adoption grew after audiences connected with the CGI character Krypto.
Why it feels good
Adopting a pet brings more than just a new friend—it creates a mutual bond filled with joy, comfort, and laughter for both the animal and the owner. Pets find safety and love in their new homes, while adopters gain loyal companions who enrich their lives. The campaign highlights these heartfelt benefits, inspiring people to make life-changing decisions that save animals and improve their own well-being.
Moreover, Best Friends Animal Society’s mission to achieve no-kill shelters nationwide reflects a compassionate approach to animal welfare. No-kill means every dog or cat that can be saved will be, without compromising safety or quality of life. This vision requires community cooperation and support, making adoption not only a personal act of kindness but also a collective effort to create more humane animal shelters.
What to enjoy or watch next
Fans and animal lovers can celebrate the Supergirl movie’s theatrical release on June 26, joining the campaign by visiting local Best Friends Pet Adoption Centers or animal sanctuaries to find a new furry friend.

Beyond this campaign, Best Friends Animal Society continues to share inspiring rescue stories and offers tips on helping homeless pets through their weekly emails.
