Okay, so technically it isn’t the punny May the 4th today. That’s tomorrow. But since some of us are big Star Wars fans over here in the newsroom, we decided to get a head start on the celebrations.

This week, the Citizen’s mobile app got together with the Ottawa Humane Society’s photographerRohit Saxena to bring you a special Star Wars-themed adoption gallery.

Every Sunday, the app produces Petfinder, a round-up of cuddly cats, dogs, Guinea pigs and hamsters looking for loving homes. You can download the app here, and go here to learn more about the animals.

Below, a photo gallery.

A big thanks to the Capital City Garrison, 501st Legion for generously donating their time by coming down to the shelter for the photo shoot. Thanks in particular to Cecil (the Tusken Raider), Melissa (the Stormtrooper), Mark (Garindan, the Imperial Spy) and Rohit, for organizing the day.

(Note: the Garrison is part of the 501st Legion and not paid by Lucasfilm.)
