Chris Evans x Jinx Partnership
Did you know that since 2022, the Jinx fam has partnered with Chris Evans and his rescue dog, Dodger? Together, our hope is to help all dogs get access to the highest quality food possible at an accessible price point. Keep reading to learn more about our growing partnership—and about how Chris Evans’ dog came into the picture and changed his life for the better.
Chris Evans’ story
While filming the last scene of the movie Gifted in 2017, which took place in a shelter, Chris couldn’t help but ask if the dogs were actual shelter dogs or just actors. Once he learned that Dodger was, in fact, up for adoption, he knew right then that he had to bring him home. It was love at first sight.
Reflecting on their bond, Chris shared: “He is everything to me. He’s the most honest, loyal, stoic teacher you could possibly ask for. He’s so reliable… I’ve had different dogs in my life, I’ve known so many, and Dodger just really stands alone. No disrespect to any other dogs, but he’s just really a perfect animal. It was kind of a no-brainer to partner up on something that would help him.”
With this deep love for his dog (and all dogs), Chris is the perfect addition to our Jinx family and leadership team. An actor, entrepreneur, dog dad, and all-around good guy, Chris has already become a well-loved and integral part of our mission to redefine dog wellness with healthier, tastier, and affordable food.

What is Chris Evans Known For?
We all know Chris Evans for his iconic role as Captain America in the Marvel Universe, but his talents go far beyond the shield. He’s shined in a variety of roles—from his sharp-witted performance in Knives Out to a darkly dramatic turn in Snowpiercer and a comedic edge in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. He's proven his versatility as an actor as well as filmmaker and entrepreneur. But lately, Chris has taken on another huge role: America’s favorite dog dad.
Chris’s deep bond with his dog Dodger has captured hearts everywhere. From adopting Dodger from a shelter to their many shared adventures, Chris goes above and beyond as a pet parent. With sweet cuddle sessions, endless playtime, and even matching shirts, their relationship really shows Chris’s compassionate side and his dedication to Dodger’s happiness.

As Chris himself says, "I'm excited to come on board and help grow awareness for the company so all dogs can have the highest quality food possible at an accessible price point. You’re always looking for good partnerships—things that mean something to you. Then meeting with the folks at Jinx, they share the passion that I feel for dogs and they explain the product and you realize that all the pieces of the puzzle were there. It just made perfect sense.”
But, just like us at Jinx, Chris’s dedication to the wellbeing of dogs doesn’t stop with nutrition. As a longtime advocate for shelter and rescue animals, he’s used his platform to raise awareness about adoption. Chris also teamed up with Animal Haven, a New York-based animal shelter, to promote dog adoption and help animals find loving homes.

Most recently, he became the face of our partnership with the USO Hero Dogs program, whereby we proudly donated 5% of all Jinx purchases made at Walmart to support the USO, including their Canine Program, which leverages therapy dogs, family pets, and military working dogs to boost morale and well-being for service members and their families.
