The Atlanta Lyric fostered and trained Buster, a Chihuahua mix in need of a home, for "Legally Blonde" in the hopes of helping him find a new home; what they didn't expect was for Buster to be adopted before the show opened.
When Atlanta Lyric Theatre needed a small dog to play the role of Brusier in the musical adaptation of Legally Blonde, the organization turned to Furkids. The role of Bruiser calls for a small, lively dog that goes off to Harvard Law School with Elle Woods, the blonde who’s not so dumb. “The dog has to be charming, affectionate and smart enough to act during his scenes and stay quiet when the action of the play wasn’t on him,” said Brandt Blocker, Artistic Director and General Manager of Atlanta Lyric Theatre, who served as Stage Director. Instead of choosing an animal trained as an actor, Atlanta Lyric Theatre management thought a homeless dog might fit the role while providing a good audience for Furkids and its homeless animals. …

Over a 16-hour period from Tuesday to Wednesday, 108 dogs and cats were turned into the Cobb County Animal Shelter. During that time, only 38 animals were adopted. The majority of the turn-ins—67—came on Tuesday, up from the 63 originally said to have been turned in. This influx has been "particularly tough" on the shelter, which is in "desperate need of space," according to a news release. The release calls for help from local rescues and volunteers. "We understand that many of you are in the same position as we are and have very limited space in your homes and shelters," it says, "but taking just one animal would help immensely. Saving just one life is enough because essentially you are saving two—the life of the animal you bring into …
