“If was in there a few more hours he wouldn’t have made it,” John proceeds. “It’s heartbreaking to even think about. We had to get Churro — there were no ifs, ands, or buts. We were lucky enough to adopt him, and he’s just the best … We literally can’t go anywhere without him — he’s always with us. He’s just a part of the family.”
These days, John informs Billboard, it’s Churro that tears points up when the band hits the trail. “When we’re on tour, it’s really a lot of fun. [Singer] Vince [Neil] has dogs, [drummer] Tommy [Lee] and [wife] Brittany [Furlan] have dogs, and now we’re bringing Churro,” he claims. “It’s like a non-stop party after the show. Speaking of trashing hotel rooms, these [dogs] are the ones that do it.”
The project video clip becomes part of a press to advise pet enthusiasts to take on canines and pet cats from sanctuaries and to never ever purchase pets from pet dog stores or dog breeders, “which churn out litter-after-litter of puppies and kittens into a world already bursting at the seams with homeless ones,” according to PETA.

“It’s so important to adopt, because you see these helpless animals in there and they just want to be loved,” John 5 claims in the video clip. “You can see it in their face. When you adopt, it will enrich your life so much.”
