Kristen Bell Adopts Three-Legged Rescue Dog: 'Welcome Home'

Updated September 6, 2021

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are the most iconic Hollywood couple. I adore them and their children. If there is any Hollywood family that I could move in with, it would be the Bell/Shepard squad.

Not only is their family hilarious and talented, but they're also generous and kind! How do I know this? No, I haven't ever met them personally. But they rescue dogs, which is essentially the single greatest thing a person can do.

Now, Kristen is introducing her fans to the family's latest addition — an adorable three-legged dog!

Kirsten Bell is the epitome of a cool mom, not like a "pretending" to be a cool mom, but just genuinely a cool mom.

Her marriage to actor and comedian Dax Shepard is one of the longest-lasting and iconic in Tinsel Town. Yes, I'm praising a rich couple and I just called Hollywood Tinsel Town, okay? Leave me alone!

You know what I will not apologize for, though? Being absolutely obsessed with Kristen Bell's new rescue dog!

On Tuesday, the 40-year-old announced on Instagram that her family recently adopted a rescue dog named Whiskey.

In the post, Kristen introduced the family's new canine addition and explained the three-legged sweetie's history.

"Meet Whiskey! Before he was rescued he got in a fight with a truck and lost (a leg) but who needs four legs anyway?" she wrote, alongside a series of sweet photos.

"He and dog Brother Frank share my lap (see photo evidence), the girls adore him and Dad lovingly tolerates him. No more truck stops for you, buddy. Welcome home."

Needless to say, I've been crying over this pic of Whiskey since this morning.
