Krypto's real superpower? James Gunn's Superman sparks 500% surge in shelter dog adoptions
James Gunn's Superman might put David Corenswet front and centre, but it's Krypto the superdog who's stolen the spotlight — and hearts. Inspired by Gunn's own rescue dog Ozu, Krypto has sparked a huge rise in dog adoption interest. Google searches for adopting dogs have soared, shelters are busier, and Warner Bros. even waived fees to help pups find homes. Krypto's clumsy loyalty has reminded people that rescue dogs need care long after the credits roll. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Numbers that speak for themselves Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads A helping hand from Hollywood David Corenswet may wear the cape in James Gunn's Superman, but it's Krypto who's changing lives outside the cinema. He's not just the Man of Steel's sidekick — he's become an unexpected hero for real dogs in need of the film, Krypto is chaotic and half-trained but always loyal, lending Superman a paw in battle. 'This film has been a barrage of blessings for me: this one may be the greatest,' Gunn said on social media, reacting to what Krypto has isn't pure fiction. He's based on Gunn's own rescue dog, Ozu. Gunn adopted Ozu while writing Superman and soon found himself at the mercy of a spirited pup who shredded furniture and even bit his feet. That chaos planted a thought: what if this dog had superpowers? And so, Krypto was born — a Terrier-Schnauzer mix with a digital didn't just laugh at Krypto's antics — they took action. According to The Wrap, dog training app Woofz reported that Google searches for 'adopt a dog near me' rocketed by 513% after the film's opening weekend. 'Rescue dog adoption near me' jumped 163%. People even looked up his breed, sending searches for 'adopt a schnauzer' up by 299%.'Adoption is a real commitment. The hype will fade, but your dog will stay, so make sure you're ready to give them the time, care, and training they need and deserve,' said Natalia Shahmetova, CEO of nudge people from idea to action, Warner Bros . teamed up with Best Friends Animal Society and covered adoption fees from 1 to 10 July. The result? 454 animals found new homes across the US before Superman even hit its opening isn't Gunn's first rescue mission for animals. In 2023, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was praised by PETA for exposing the horrors of animal testing. Now, Superman is nudging audiences to think about shelter dogs and what they need long after the credits Krypto's story doesn't end there. Spoiler alert: in Superman, we learn he's actually being looked after by Clark Kent on behalf of Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl. By the end, a slightly worse-for-wear Supergirl (Milly Alcock) turns up at the Fortress of Solitude to collect her dog, setting Krypto up for a return in next year's DC Studios, led by Gunn and Peter Safran, maps out its big new chapter — starting with 'Gods and Monsters' — Krypto has quietly reminded everyone that heroics don't always look like capes and laser vision. Sometimes, they look like muddy paws and rescue shelters with empty is in cinemas now. If you see it, just be prepared — you might walk out wanting to adopt a dog too.
