ATTENTION! The Animal Connection will be holding auditions in July.
Call Barbara O'Brien at 612 812 8788 or email animalcn@isd.net for more information.
Sure, your pet is cute, or funny, or well trained. We all think that about the animals we love but does it have what it takes to be an animal actor?
The Animal Connection is always looking for new talent but first please read the following qualifications before you get visions of Hollywood wanting your dog for the next "Lassie Come Home".
Your pet must be well trained and socialized. Nervous, nippy or unhappy animals need not apply. Your pet must be healthy and of the correct weight for his type. You must be available to bring your pet to auditions and shoots. You must be available on short notice and have a flexible schedule or an understanding boss.
PLEASE READ: For the Animal Connection to represent your pet you must live in the greater metropolitan area of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota. Our clients generally do not bring in animals from out of the area.
If your do not live close enough to work with the Animal Connection, contact the film board (most states have them) in your state and get a list of animal actor agencies in your area. A word of caution, do not pay anyone to list your animals with them. Good modeling agencies do not charge you for just listing with them.
So... if you would like to list with the Animal Connection please email 2-3 clear photos that show your pet's size and color. Please include your day and evening contact information as we quite often hold auditions on short notice. animalcn@isd.net
Because most household pet cats do not like to leave their homes and go to new places such as a studio we are not listing cats at this time. The exception would be purebred cats that have been shown and are used to new environments.
