Mötley Crüe guitarist John 5 has partnered with PETA to promote pet adoption through a new campaign featuring his rescue dog, Churro, a hairless Chinese crested mix. In a heartfelt video, John 5 recounts how Churro was abandoned in a box in the San Bernardino desert and emphasizes the importance of adopting animals from shelters instead of purchasing them from breeders. He states that adopting pets can enrich lives and urges the public to treat animals with love and care. The campaign highlights the ongoing crisis of over 70 million homeless pets in the U.S., advocating for spaying and neutering to combat overpopulation. John 5's commitment to animal welfare is part of a broader initiative by PETA, which has enlisted various celebrities to spread the message that adoption is the only option. His upcoming Strung Out Tour 2024 will also see him bring Churro along, showcasing their close bond.
