Stars who stop by Entertainment Weekly and PEOPLE’s portrait studio at the Toronto International Film Festival<\/a> have it really ruff \u2014 they get the chance to pose with adorable puppies!<\/p>\n

The pawsitively precious pooches come by way of Project Paws Dog Rescue<\/a>, a Canadian, volunteer-based, not-for-profit organization dedicated to rescuing unwanted dogs and giving them a second chance by placing them into loving furever homes.<\/p>\n

Some celebs who are going off leash to play with the pups \u2014 while also promoting their films at the fest \u2014 include Ryan Reynolds<\/a> (John Candy: I Like Me), Ethan Hawke<\/a> (The Lowdown), Ben McKenzie<\/a> (Everyone Is Lying to You for Money and Motor City), Stephen Amell<\/a> (Little Lorraine), and more!<\/p>\n

All photos taken in the NKPR IT House, presented by Q Tower. A donation is made to Artists for Peace and Justice <\/a>for every celebrity who visits the studio.<\/p>\n
