Ryan Reynolds Inspires Pet Names Aimed At Raising Awareness For Shelter Animal Adoptions In Honor Of His 48th Birthday

As a die-hard fan of Ryan Reynolds, who has followed his incredible journey from “Van Wilder” to Deadpool, I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of admiration for this remarkable human being. His compassionate heart and generous spirit have once again been proven as he turns 48, by teaming up with Rob McElhenney to support Best Friends Animal Society in their fight against animal cruelty.


To celebrate Ryan Reynolds’ 48th birthday this year, Best Friends Animal Society has partnered with Rob McElhenney to launch a movement against animal cruelty. By rechristening some of the rescued animals as “Ryan Reynolds”, they aim to draw attention to their cause and encourage adoptions. Animals up for adoption across locations like New York, Arkansas, California, Texas, and Utah are part of this initiative, which is geared towards promoting animal welfare campaigns.

McElhenney, co-chairman of Wrexham AFC and a close friend of Reynolds shared the news through a video on the Deadpool star’s Instagram. The clip had a montage suggesting that as part of his birthday tribute, Best Friends Animal Society renamed a dozen different animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, a horse, one turtle, and a donkey after Reynolds. As per McElhenney, everyone can now have a Ryan to love.

Reynolds was absolutely thrilled. He conveyed his delight without deviating from his brand, by saying, “I had anticipated a blow to decency or a subtle criticism of Canada. However, what I received instead was among the most precious gifts of my life: the knowledge.

Last month, McElhenney vowed to contribute a grand total of $25,000, with the intention of doubling every donation made to Best Friends Animal Society. As per the data gathered, over 415,000 pets were euthanized in shelters during the year 2023. This non-profit organization aims to put an end to the practice of shelter animal euthanasia by the year 2025.

Prospective adopters are invited to check out the organization’s main website, where you can find a list of animals who have been re-named after Reynolds that are up for adoption. Additionally, users are encouraged to share photos on social media platforms of their newly adopted pets using the hashtag #AdoptARyan.

best friends animal society invited ABC 4 listeners to participate in the fun by adopting a ‘Ryan’ from their local Best Friends facility and sharing a photo of their new furry companion using the hashtag #AdoptARyan. By Wednesday afternoon, they reported that three pets named after Reynolds had already been adopted.

Best Friends Animal Society works tirelessly to ensure the welfare of all animals in U.S. shelters, aiming to end animal euthanasia by 2025. Meanwhile, Ryan Reynolds is thrilled about the creative utilization of his name and heartfelt birthday greeting from a dear friend.
