American Ninja Warrior Roo Yori attended a seriously cute fundraiser for dogs in LA

The K9 Ninja rubbed elbows with celebrities on behalf of dogs in need.

American Ninja Warrior Roo Yori is not called the K9 Ninja because he sort of, kind of, likes dogs. He LOVES dogs (who can blame him?) and he’s made it his mission to raise awareness of dog rescue and adoption. In fact, Roo brought his pup Angus with him to his Indianapolis Qualifiers and City Finals run. Angus didn’t make the trip to Vegas for the National Finals, but you can check out Roo’s Stage One run here.

The Ninja Warrior popped out to LA for the Stand Up for Pits event in November. The night was full of celebrities, laughs, and really cute dogs.

Roo documented the event on his Instagram account and it looked awesome!

He spotted some familiar faces on his flight to LA.

Look what I got to watch on the flight to LA! #k9ninja #adoptadog #pitbullsaredogstoo #americanninjawarrior #anwnation #ANW8

He met Todd! This little guy went from being rescued from dogfighting to Instagram sensation.

Here I am trying to explain to Todd what I do to stand up for pits, and this is Todd doing what he does best. i.e. not caring. #k9ninja #adoptadog #pitbullsaredogstoo #standupforpits #endbsl #betheirvoice

He bumped into Alex Weber, host of the NBC digital series “Crashing the Course.”

Thanks @imalexweber for joining me last night to #standupforpits! Great night! #k9ninja #adoptadog #pitbullsaredogstoo #americanninjawarrior #anwnation #endbsl

Actress Kaley Cuoco is a huge animal lover and hosted the event. Todd was less than impressed.

2 things - Todd is awesome. So is @normancook. And so is @standupforpitsfoundation. I know that's actually 3 things, but I think you can handle it. #standupforpits #pitbullsaredogstoo #endbsl

Even though Todd puts up a good front, he was clearly excited to meet the K9 Ninja. Here he is sporting the shirt that proves it.

@thetodd_father_ sporting the #K9Ninja shirt! He might not care at all, but I sure do appreciate it! Check him out to see if one day he finds something that he actually cares about. #Repost @thetodd_father_ with @repostapp ・・・ Thanks to our dear friend and fellow PIBBLE march key note speaker @rooyori for the "Adopt A Dog" shirt adorned with sweet Wallace. Keep spreading the good word and we'll see you next year on @americanninjawarrior9! Todd doesn't watch the show and could not care less about the shirt or message but agreed to model. #k9ninja #theTodd

The event was full of celebrities showing their love for pups!

At the @standupforpitsfoundation event last weekend neither myself, Bill Burr, or even Kaley Cuoco could get @mister_todd_ to give a single rip. And that's why we love him so. #standupforpits #endbsl

Then Roo bumped into this very special little dude while exploring LA.

Had to stop and meet this little cutie while walking by the beach today! Taco was rescued from a bad situation and adopted by a really cool guy. Thanks for giving Taco a better life and stopping for a quick pic and chat! #k9ninja #adoptadog #pitbullsaredogstoo

It looks like it was a pretty great trip, but it seems like Roo was sure missed back at home!

Cuz that looks comfortable... #k9ninja #adoptadog #pitbullsaredogstoo #pitbullsofinstagram #pitbull
