Year of the Dog Movie

We are really excited about this film, The Year of the Dog . It opens at the Greenfield VIP Legacy 9 Cinemas   on February 24th and featu res a real-life rescue dog, Caleb, in a lead role.


We are also incredibly grateful that the film is donating 5% of its proceeds locally to us and also to over 80 pet rescues and shelters across the country. 


We don’t endorse films, but we do support rescue animals like Caleb, so it is in that spirit that we hope you see this film, a poignant story about, two strays: Matt, a loner alcoholic at rock bottom, struggling to maintain sobriety and Yup’ik (Caleb) a rescue dog with an usual athletic gift.
 

Here’s the trailer for The Year of the Dog and hope you join us at the Greenfield VIP Legacy 9 Cinemas starting February 24 to help support rescue pets across the country.
