Stars who stop by **, PEOPLE, NKPR, and Shutterstock’s TIFF 2026 IT House Portrait Studio really have it *ruff* — they get to pose (and play!) with adorable puppies.

The sweet adoptable Shepherd Husky mix pups — named Ziggy, Doubie, Willy, and Ash — are 9-10 weeks old and come via Project Paws Dog Rescue, a Canadian, volunteer-based, not-for-profit organization dedicated to rescuing dogs and giving them a second chance by placing them into loving forever homes.

Celebs who opted to have some doggone fun — while also promoting their film and TV projects at the fest — include Courteney Cox (*Evil Genius)*, Sebastian Stan (*Fjord*), Luke Evans (*The Housewife)*,* *and more!

All photos were taken in the NKPR IT House, presented by Q Tower. A donation is made to Artists for Peace and Justice for every celebrity who visits the studio.
