Canadians, grab your pets! A casting agency is now calling on animal lovers to participate in a new commercial. All you have to do to be considered for the pet commercial casting is to submit a short clip of your furry pet being extra furry.

If you've been looking for a way to make your pet a movie star, this may be your chance. 

Jigsaw Casting is allowing pet owners to take all those annoying moments of cleaning up after your shedding animal and turn them into cold hard cash.

According to Project Casting, producers on the project are looking specifically for owners of Golden Retrievers, Sheep Dogs and Labrador Retrievers.

However, if you have a rabbit that gets hair everywhere, it’s worth noting that you’re still welcome to apply to the project!

If you're a cat person, long-haired cats like the Norwegian Forest or any other furry friend that sheds are also welcome. 

So, how do you apply? All you need to do is shoot a 15-second video on your phone of your pet shedding and you're good to go.

The admission page suggests that you take shots that show the amount of hair your animal leaves behind

This includes jumping up on its owner, laying on a freshly made bed, or getting hair on black clothing. 

However, if your furry pal has a special talent, that is also welcome. 

According to the company, those who make the cut will be included in the commercial for the Bounce Pet Hair Campaign and will receive $1,200. 

However, if you want to be featured, you'll have to act quickly. The deadline for online submissions is July 10, 2020. 

If you don't have a pet but still want to star in commercials, keep your eyes on casting lists. 

Earlier this year, one company paid Toronto residents $1,500 for drinking milk.
