If the owner isn't home enough to take care of them, a better home would be better. The article mentions he's a stuntman, and so if he's on set in another country, he may not always be able to take them (customs can be a nightmare when animals are involved).
Plus, it could be he's worked out a deal with the shelter, and this more or less is a publicity stunt. I mean, look, here is a organization now getting international attention, and will likely receive a large amount of donations, plus people who are trying to get those dogs will often wind up adopting other dogs they have instead. I don't know about where you are, but the rescue organizations (especially the purebred animals like the one in question here) are the best place to goto when you're no longer able to take care of the animal. They won't kill the animal if they cannot find it a home like the average animal "shelter", and they often are extremely thorough when doing background checks on prospective adopters.
