Spencer Pratt - Hummingbirds
Television reality star Spencer Pratt made a name for himself solely by participating in various reality TV shows starting from The Hills. Spencer doesn't have a regular pet such as a cat, dog or even a hamster. He enjoys spending time with the numerous hummingbirds that visit his home. The 35-year-old husband, father, and fan of hummingbirds, Pratt is obsessed with these beautiful tiny birds that used to visit his old property on a daily basis. He used to feed them and protect them when it rains. In a recent interview, Pratt said he was devastated when he left his former home but soon discovered that birds have been visiting his new estate, too.
Slash - Snakes
Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash is very affectionate towards snakes and the whole world knows that. He has owned multiple pet snakes over the years and some of them, such as his beloved pet snake Pandora, died. Slash gave up his not-so-cute pets several years ago and according to an interview, he was actually relieved to do so. Perhaps he realized it's much easier and safer to have a cat or a hamster? Whatever the reason might be, Slash, who returned to the famous band in 2016, has an estimated $90 million in his account.
Kaley Cuoco - Poker Face
Most people say that horses have a "long" face. This Big Bang Theory star couldn't help but call her horse Poker Face. Maybe she just can't read her horse's emotions well but never mind - she has a whole bunch of them. Kaley is a keen equestrian who absolutely adores her horses. I'm sure that in her free time (when she is off camera) you will find her by the stables or riding one of her favorite horses. What a joy!
Chelsea Handler - Bert & Bernice
Comedian, actress, and writer Chelsea Handler had lost her two dogs, Tammy and Chunk, but she didn't wait too long to open the doors of her home to other dog shelter residents. Tammy passed away in 2017 and Chunk, who was also adopted from a kill shelter, died a while after him. Her new furry pets are named Bert and Bernice and they resemble her old dogs a little bit. Chelsea adopted them in 2018 and quickly introduced her new friends to her fans on Instagram. The 43-year-old Handler lives in her Bel Air estate with her two dogs.
Elvis Presley - Scatter
The King of Rock and Roll had more than one pet at his estate. He actually had a collection of pets, including different animals such as a monkey (which made us wonder if he had any pet health insurance!). Elvis Presley's famous chimpanzee pet was called Scatter and the late King would often carry him around on his shoulder. Scatter reportedly loved wearing clothes and so Elvis bought him lots of it such as suits and ties. Some sources claimed that Scatter loved drinking whiskey too and when he died, the possible causes of death included liver problems. His owner, Presley, died of similar problems in 1977.
Channing Tatum - Smoke & Cajun
Step Up and Magic Mike star Channing Tatum seem to prefer bigger pets such as horses. Tatum adopted a rescue horse who apparently loves beer, according to Channing. Tatum adopted this horse in 2015 but this is not his first animal rescue beneficiary. Actually, this is his second rescue horse so now he has two named Smoke and Cajun. We have to say that we love Channing a little bit more because of that. Tatum had a voice role in 2018 animated movie Smallfoot and he is also working on the upcoming The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part.
George Clooney - Max
George Clooney, actor, filmmaker, businessman, and one of the most attractive men in the world had kept an unusual pet for 18 years. That's how long his beloved pet, Max the pig, lived. Clooney was very fond of his pet that his former girlfriend gave him back in 1988 that he would sometimes take Max to interviews. What a friendship it was until Max died in 2006. George Clooney has proven that he has a good heart and not just by befriending a pig. Earlier in 2018, he donated money ($500K) to the March of Our Lives demonstration after the tragic event in Stoneman Douglas High School in February 2018.
Reese Witherspoon - Honky
Reese Witherspoon is not only cute and adorable - so is her donkey. She shared the image of her donkey on Instagram with the message "Honky the donkey #ojaidays." Reese openly shared the fact that "they're really cute," on her friend's show - The Ellen Degeneres Show. She explained that she and her husband had a friend who owned a donkey and they thought it was super cute so they decided to also get one. With Reese Witherspoon as the owner I guess that's one lucky donkey - he's sure to be loved and spoiled!

Former President of the United States Barack Obama and his family have two dogs, 10-year old Bo and 6-year old Sunny. Bo, a Portuguese Water Dog, was given as a gift to the Obama family and the reason they chose this breed was partly due to Malia Obama's allergies. Bo was later joined by Sunny, a female, who is of the same breed, and she has been referred to as the younger sister of Bo. Bo even had his official White House portrait taken in 2009! The Obama family currently lives with their dogs in a stunning Kalorama property.

Her dog's name was Mr. Famous and together, they posed for magazine covers. Mr. Famous was sadly run over and killed one day while Audrey died of abdominal cancer in 1993.

Not to worry, Mally now lives in a big national park in Copenhagen.

She has appeared in 2018 science fantasy film A Wrinkle in Time where she portrayed the role of Mrs. Which.
Ariana Grande - 9 Dogs
Actress, singer, and songwriter Ariana Grande prefers to adopt rescue dogs instead of buy pets and we applaud her for that. It's great that she is so willing to help poor animals since she has the bank account and the means to do so. Grande reportedly has nine dogs at the moment and some of them are named after Harry Potter characters. Her nine dogs are Pignoli, Fawkes, Coco, Ophelia, Toulouse, Sirius, Strauss, Cinnamon, and Lafayette. She loves spending time with her rescue dogs who include big, small, and dogs of mixed breeds. They can comfort her now that she has broken up her engagement with Pete Davidson in October 2018.
Miley Cyrus - Pig
Miley Cyrus loves animals and has more than one pet, but the most unusual of them is her piggy called Bubba Sue but later changed the name to simply Pig. She adopted this piggy in 2015 who found his place in her animal family of dogs, cats, fish, and whatnot. Miley has several dogs named Happy, Milky, and Mary Jane, and she likes dressing them up in costumes. She also has a cat named Keke. Fans weren't so thrilled when she painted her piggy's trotters but oh, well. Miley's earnings are sufficient to feed such a large family of pets. She is currently working on some new tunes as she announced in June 2018.
Liam Hemsworth - Dora
It seems that both Miley Cyrus and her (now ex-...) boyfriend Liam Hemsworth are animal lovers and it's nice to see that they are making room in their lives for these adorable furry animals. When he decided to get a pet, Liam opted for a dog rescue and adopted Dora, whom he named after the children television show.

She appeared in two 2018 movies, Her Smell and London Fields.
Ciara -Tyson & Georgia
Singer and dancer Ciara carries two cute puppies instead of purses. She owns two dogs named Tyson and Georgia and they are both adorable. Ciara is apparently very attached to her two dogs and often takes them with her when she goes shopping or running errands. Both of her 4-legged-friends can fit into a single slightly bigger purse so it's not a problem to carry them around all the time. In 2018, Ciara released a new single from her upcoming album titled Level Up. This will be her seventh studio album.
Kylie Jenner - Norman & Bambi
Reality television star and businesswoman who created a cosmetics empire, Kylie Jenner loves dogs and that means they enjoy the same luxury lifestyle as she does. Kylie has two dogs and she actually had a house with air-conditioning built exclusively for her 4-legged friends. The dog house where Norman and Bambi live is probably nicer than most apartments that actual people live in. But Kylie can definitely afford to splash dough like that. Reportedly, she is currently on the verge of becoming the world's youngest billionaire with a net worth of $900 million, owing to Kylie Cosmetics.
Lady Gaga - Koji & Asia
Singer Lady Gaga is another celeb who is just crazy about dogs and can't stop talking about her pets, well, as most pet owners do. Lady Gaga actually has three French bulldogs named Koji, Asia, and the third one who is still known by his nickname Moopig. We have to admit, we can only envy their opulent lifestyle. Asia was a gift from Gaga's former fiancee and she is an actual star that modeled for the fashion house Coach. In 2018, Lady Gaga starred in Bradley Cooper's film A Star Is Born, where she showed us her powerful voice as well as her acting skills.
Taylor Swift - Olivia Benson & Meredith Grey
Pop star Taylor Swift enjoys the company of her two cats when she is at home. She came up with cute names and last names for them - Olivia Benson and Meredith Grey. Swift might just be the most famous cat lady in the world (and perhaps the richest, as her wealth management adviser could attest to), considering her popularity. With two of her feline friends, she must be looking forward to every moment she spends at home. But Taylor is not just an animal lover, she is also a philanthropist. In 2018, Swift teamed up with 300 Hollywood ladies for the Time's Up initiative aimed to protect women against harassment.
Ian Somerhalder - Many Pets
These rescued furry animals are lucky to be taken care of by Ian Somerhalder. Heck, they probably even have a pet health insurance better than our typical health plan! But it's awesome that people like Ian exist who like adopting many rescue animals. By 2015, Ian had nine dogs but he also has several cats. Somerhalder even started The Ian Somerhalder Foundation in 2010 with the aim of helping raise awareness as well as funds to change the situation for animals. The Vampire Diaries star landed the lead role in an upcoming Netflix series titled, V-Wars.
Miranda Kerr - Frankie
Australian fashion model Miranda Kerr finds comfort hanging out with her Yorkshire Terrier Frankie. In 2017, she was seen celebrating National Puppy Day with her 4-legged friend who is now all grown up. But he is still tiny enough to be carried around in a purse. Miranda reportedly adopted Frankie after her divorce from actor Orlando Bloom because who wouldn't feel better cuddling with this cute little dog in their arms? Kerr, who also likes to write and has founded a cosmetics company, is currently one of the highest-paid models in the world.

This little addition to the Hadid family got her own Instagram account and in just a couple of days, Cleo already had thousands of followers. Hadid, who is raking in such huge earnings now as a model, earlier split with her boyfriend Zayn Malik but they have since reconciled and announced it in June 2018.
Lena Dunham - Karen & Susan
In case you haven’t been keeping up, there was quite a saga going on in 2017 involving Lena Dunham and her dog Lamby. Lamby was in her care for a while before she sent him away to an animal care facility because she was reportedly unable to care for him and because he allegedly showed aggressive behavior. But she has adopted other pets since then, including two puddles, Susan and Karen. She also had a cat Gia and a small dog Bowie who both died earlier in 2018. After the loss of her two pets, she adopted a new pet, this time a Sphynx cat.
Jennifer Lopez - Roxy & Bear
Jennifer Lopez prefers bigger dogs instead of the little ones who can fit into her purse. About a month after she adopted Bear, an already grown-up dog at the time, Jennifer adopted another dog of the same breed (Boxer) and named him Roxy. The whole family reportedly adores the dogs. Lopez is used to pampering her dogs so much that in 2016, she paid a dog spa in the Hamptons to close down to the public so that her pets can enjoy the services alone. But then again, she has a net worth of $400 million...The third and final season of Lopez's series Shades of Blue premiered in June 2018.
Naya Rivera - Lucy & Emmy
Stunning actress Naya Rivera already had Lucy, her Cavalier King Charles spaniel, when she adopted Emmy. The latest pet addition joined her family in 2014 at about the same time she married actor Ryan Dorsey. Naya soon shared photos of her new furry friend who seemed to fit in right away. But unlike her marriage, her friendship with her dogs is a lasting one. Naya filed for divorce from Ryan in 2016 but soon called it off. After some misdemeanor domestic battery charges filed against her, Naya hired a divorce attorney again in 2017. Their divorce was finalized in June 2018.

Unfortunately, their bulldog Puddy died earlier in 2018 which left the family heartbroken. On the other hand, here is some good news. The 32-year-old Chrissy, who is a well-known foodie, published her second book in September 2018 titled Cravings: Hungry For More.

But lately, he has been posting photos of his two cats Dorito and Calippo, so Graham isn't really living with him. The important thing is that he had saved the little kitty's life.

In 2018, he provided the voice for Brendan in an episode of The Simpsons.

However, Bertha appeared safe and sound and the two friends were happy to reunite.

By 2003, Bubbles had become an adult chimpanzee and was sent away and in 2004, he was moved to the Center for Great Apes in California. His former owner died in 2009.
Melanie Griffith - Neil
Melanie Griffith was a huge star in the '80s. Her portrayal of Tess McGill in 1988's Working Girl was superb. She was also a very beautiful woman who once was married to Don Johnson and now is happily married to Spanish heartthrob Antonio Banderas. What many do not know, is the fact that she lived with a pet lion when she was a teenager. Yes, you read right! She had a male lion named Neil. The family decided to allow Neil to live with them when her parents wanted to make a film about big cats. An animal trainer thought it would be a good idea so they went along with it. The family got really close to the animal and Melanie especially loved him.
