Zachary Quinto hunting for puppy home

Zachary Quinto is appealing to his Twitter.com fans to help find an adopted puppy a new home.

The Star Trek actor has taken in a little white Jack Russell he's calling Rizzo - but he is searching for another animal lover to look after the pooch on a more longterm basis, and he's encouraging any interested fans to contact him via his production company.

In a series of posts on Twitter.com, Zachary Quinto writes, "zq (Zachary Quinto) adopted me and will foster me. but who wants to give me a proper home? ...i'm a lover.

"no joke. you know you want her. [email protected] is the email address. this stunning lady is the subject. let's call her rizzo. for now."
