A Star Wars-Themed Photo Shoot to Find Homes for Shelter Animals

Today is the day that many people recognize as Star Wars Day (“May the fourth be with you”). To celebrate the occasion, members of the costuming group in Canada known as the 501st Legion: Capital City Garrison decided to volunteer some time for a special photo shoot to help get homeless animals adopted.

A number of the group’s members posed with bunnies, guinea pigs, dogs, and cats found at the Ottawa Humane Society shelter for a series of strange and heartwarming photos.
