When you have a pet, you know just how important that creature is to you, and that you'd do anything for it. There's no love like the unconditional love of a pet, which is why we're so good to our animals. When it comes to celebrities, they're no different. Despite the fact that they have quite different lifestyles than us, many of them still have the time to have a dog or a cat, or any other pet that would make them happy.
Just because they live lavish lifestyles doesn't mean that they have to have the best pure-bred pets. Many celebrities have actually gone and opened their home and their hearts to rescue animals in need. They've gone on to take these animals from a bad situation and give them the loving home that they deserve.
10 Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande is a huge animal lover, and it's pretty obvious based on her Instagram photos. Ariana has so much love for dogs, especially rescue dogs. Ariana has a total of ten dogs — yes, that's TEN dogs — and each and every one of them is a rescue dog. If you check out Ariana's social media you'll most likely see Ophelia, Fawkes, Cinnamon, Coco, Lafayette, Sirius, Strauss, pignoli, Toulouse, or Myron. Some of Ariana's pets have made an appearance in her music videos and other works. She also adopted her dog Myron with Mac Miller, and she took him in when Mac sadly passed away.
9 Joe Biden
President Joe Biden may have just taken office, but there's a lot of buzz surrounding his dogs that will be joining him at the White House. The Bidens have two German Shepherds, one named Champ, and the other named Major. President Biden actually rescued Major from a shelter in 2018. As a result, he will become the first dog rescued from a shelter to live at the White House.
Before they adopted Major, they were fostering him from the Delaware Humane Association before they ultimately made the decision to adopt him. Major was previously in a home that was life-threatening and toxic living conditions, in which the Bidens were able to save him from.
8 David Arquette
David Arquette has a love for Basset Hounds, which was why he finally decided to adopt one. Opting to rescue a dog in need, he reached out to Last Day Dog Rescue in Michigan. The program found the perfect Basset Hound from Perry County Dog Shelter. The dog that they had chosen was a stray without a home, so they knew that he would be the perfect match. Once the Arquettes adopted him, they named him Dallas, and now he's a happy and healthy dog in a very loving home.
7 Ian Somerhalder
Ian Somerhalder and his wife Nikki Reed are huge animal lovers and advocates. Over the years that they've been together, they've adopted quite a few animals and have given them a loving home. When they first got together and started dating, the two adopted a kitten together after a few months of dating. Ian and Nikki were visiting an animal shelter when they saw the kitten and immediately fell in love with her, adopting her on the spot. She's one of many adopted fur babies in the Ian and Nikki household.
6 Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa and her boyfriend Anwar Hadid (yes, brother of Gigi and Bella) recently adopted an adorable fur baby over the summer. She posted pictures on her Instagram introducing the world to the adorable pup, naming him Dexter. The couple adopted Dexter from an animal rescue charity called the Labelle Foundation.
The Labelle Foundation is based in Los Angeles, and it is an animal rescue that's devoted to saving, rehabilitating, and advocating for dogs. This little pup is definitely lucky to call Dua Lipa and Anwar Hadid his parents! This is the first fur baby for the couple, and we hope that they'll consider adopting more in the future.
5 Whoopi Goldberg
Whoopi Goldberg adopted an adorable kitten who had the worst start in life. The cat was thrown from a moving car on the Verrazano Bridge in New York City. After hearing about the horrible incident, Whoopi along with about 140 other people asked if they could adopt the poor kitten. The kitten was nicknamed Verrazano after the bridge, and Whoopi decided to shorten it to Vinny. Whoopi showed off the adorable kitten on The View and gushed about how much she loved him already. It's safe to say that Whoopi will give Vinny the best, loving home out there.
4 Chris Evans
Chris Evans has a huge soft spot for his rescue dog named Dodger. While filming the movie Gifted, they had to film a scene in a dog shelter. The shelter that they were filming in was a real, working shelter. As a result, when he saw Dodger, it was love at first sight for Chris. After meeting the adorable dog, Chris decided that he was destined to be his, and because they were filming at the time, he was even to film their meeting. The two have been inseparable best of friends ever since.
3 Florence Welch
Florence Welch of the band Florence and the Machine was stuck writing her next album. As a result, she decided that she wanted to get a writing partner to keep her company, and she decided to adopt a kitten. Florence has had kittens in the past but she finally decided to adopt a rescue this time around. After going to Battersea Dogs And Cats Home, Florence went home with the most adorable tortoiseshell rescue kitten. Hopefully, the kitten helped Florence get all of her writing done!
2 Tom Hardy
Tom Hardy has a huge soft spot for animals, especially his rescue dog named Woodstock. Tom first met Woodstock back in 2012 when he was filming the movie, Lawless. At the time, Woodstock was just 11 weeks old, covered om feces, scared, hungry, and all alone. It was love at first sight for Tom, as he rescued the puppy and took him home. The two became inseparable, and Woodstock even attended the premiere of the movie Legend alongside Tom. Sadly, Woodstock passed away from an inflammatory muscle disease known as polymyositis, leaving Tom heartbroken.
1 Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston might not have any human children at the moment, but she now has a fur baby! She recently rescued an adorable puppy and shared him with the world on her Instagram, naming him Lord Chesterfield. The adorable puppy was rescued from Wagmor Pets Dog Rescue, a place to adopt adorable dogs located in California. Wagmor Pets Dog Rescue has a mission to rescue and rehome all kinds of dogs in need, and lucky for Lord Chesterfield, he was rescued by none other than Jennifer Aniston. What a lucky little pup!
