An Arizona rescue dog will make his film debut in Disney’s live-action remakeof “Lady and the Tramp.” And he certainly looks the part.

Monte, a 2-year-old terrier mix, will play the titular Tramp in the film, setto premiere on the Disney+ streaming service when it launches in the US onNovember 12, CNN affiliate KTVK reported.

The pup was sent from a municipal shelter in New Mexico to Phoenix’s HALOAnimal Rescue in April 2018. Monte was beloved among staffers for his goodbehavior and sloppy wet kisses, shelter CEO Heather Allen told KTVK.

Monte was scouted by a group of Hollywood animal trainers, she said, one ofwhom adopted the affable canine.

Despite his recent foray into film, Allen said Monte still enjoys a happy,normal life.

His “Tramp” is voiced by noted dog lover Justin Theroux. A cocker spanielnamed Rose will play Lady, Tramp’s spaghetti-sharing love interest, withvoiceover from Tessa Thompson, People reported.

D23, Disney’s official fan club, said the entire cast of rescue dogs found“forever homes” after filming ended.
