In the world of animal talent, ensuring quality and professionalism is key. Whether you’re a seasoned producer or new to hiring animal actors, The Animal List is designed to simplify the process and guarantee the best talent for your projects. Here, we’ll dive into our unique animal actor rating system and how you can easily search, post casting calls, or hire animals on our platform.

The Animal Actor Rating System

Our rating system is crucial for maintaining high standards and transparency. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:

1. Temperament Approved: Animals at this level are best for simple tasks or background roles. They have a good temperament but may not have extensive experience in complex scenes.

2. Animal Actor: These animals have a solid track record of handling more demanding roles and tasks. They are reliable and have proven their skills in various projects.

3. Advanced Animal Actor: These animals are highly trained and experienced, capable of performing more complex tasks and roles. They have a history of successful performances in challenging environments.

4. Elite Animal Actor: The crème de la crème of animal actors. These animals can handle complex tasks and even star in their own movie. They have extensive experience and a high level of training, making them suitable for lead roles.

Evaluation Process

• In-Person Evaluations: Every animal undergoes an in-person evaluation by experienced professionals to ensure they meet our strict criteria for health, behavior, and performance.

• Certified Wranglers: Animals are accompanied by certified wranglers with real-world experience, ensuring they are well-handled and trained for various production environments.

• Transparency: Our transparent rating system provides a clear picture of the animal’s capabilities, reducing risks and ensuring a smoother production process.
