Adopting or rescuing an animal is the best thing you can do for them.
A stray animal spends most or all of its life trying to find a forever home and a family that will love and shelter it. Adopting a dog can completely change your life. Not only will it feel morally nice to give a doggo a life that it deserves, but it will also bring you a lot of joy. As you know, dogs love their owners unconditionally. It is very obvious from their actions that they can not live without us. This is a kind of love that we can not find anywhere else. This is why dogs are a good option if you’re looking to adopt a pet.
Celebrities are normal humans, just like the rest of us. They can have a love for animals too. Some celebrities use their wealth and influence to help and rescue animals that need forever homes. Now, these celebrities deserve to be praised for their actions. Below is a list of 11 celebrities who adopted rescue dogs:
Zac Efron
Maca was fostered by Zac after rescuing her from being euthanised in a kill shelter. Zac fell in love with the pit bull and decided to adopt her.
Ariana Grande
Toulouse was adopted by Ariana Grande from an animal shelter. She is very fond of her dog and is super attached, to the point that Toulouse has been featured in her music videos, VOGUE magazine, and was a Coach model.
Ellen DeGeneres
Ellen does a lot of work to rescue animals. She has rescued many and has her own fund called The Ellen Fund to shelter them.
’’I wish we lived in a world where caring for animals wasn’t so rare that it deserved an award. All I do is treat animals with the respect and dignity they deserve. I hope someday soon, everyone does the same,” said DeGeneres.
Andy Cohen
Wacha was initially from a kill shelter in West Virginia. The beagle-foxhound mix was rescued and adopted by Andy Cohen from an animal shelter in New Jersey.

Ryan was actually looking for a dog for his friend when he came across Baxter. “I saw this big, dumb-looking retriever staring up at me,” he said in an interview. “I whispered to him, ‘Hey, let’s get out of here.’ And he jumped up like he spoke English fluently. He came with me, he jumped in the car, and we’ve been best buddies ever since.”
Why do people think celebrities are stuck-up, stone-cold people who can’t open up their hearts for anyone or anything? They are just like us and they love animals just as much as we do. Some of these celebrities went out of their way to set up foundations just to help animals. It is all for a good cause which proves that they have pure hearts and intentions.

When you have a lifestyle like I did when I was in my early twenties, there were no constants. It was just hard to know where I was going to be the next month because of my career,” she continued. “That’s why I got him.”
