Evansadopted boxer mix Dodger in April 2017while filming the drama,Gifted.
“One of the last scenes we were filming was in a pound, a kennel,“Evans told PEOPLE shortly after adopting the pup. “I foolishly walked in and I thought, ‘Are these actor dogs or are these real up for adoption dogs?’ And sure enough they were, so I was walking up and down the aisles and saw this one dude and he didn’t belong there.”
“I snagged him and he’s such a good dog,” Evans added. “They aged him at about one, he acts like a puppy, he’s got the energy of a puppy, he’s just such a sweetheart, he’s such a good boy. He loves dogs, he loves kids, he’s full of love.”
