25 Celebs Who Adopted Animals From Shelters Or Rescued Them From The Streets

Back in 2018, Hilary and her partner Matthew Koma adopted a senior dog named Lucy. Soon before this, the couple made a pretty unorthodox choice in adoption—they also got themselves an alpaca named Ivan, who now lives on an alpaca farm until Duff and Koma decide to become farm people.

Previously, Handler had two chow chows named Tammy and Chunk, who were adopted from kill shelters. However, after a long lifetime together, Handler had to say goodbye to both almost three years ago. To honor them, she got two new chow chows from a shelter and named them Bert and Bernice.

Luke is the owner of an animal rescue that he first launched in memory of his late niece Sadie. And his home is just like his rescue—like a zoo—housing over 20 various animals, including ponies, chickens, and goats. Before, they had a dog named Poochie, which sadly passed away just a week later, but now are fostering another good girl named Kimmie.

Earlier this year, Hathaway adopted a terrier named Kenobi. He joined her family where there was also a chocolate lab named Esmeralda. She named Kenobi after her favorite Star Wars character because, c’mon, it’s Star Wars—who wouldn’t call their dogs that?!

Thurman Murman is Bilson’s latest addition to her doggie family. The shaggy grey poodle mix joins Bilson’s other dog Penny, who she got with her ex-boyfriend Adan Brody. Apparently, Thurman Murman has his own wardrobe of leashes, which makes him somewhat of a fashionable pup.
