Charity Dogs

[Blind Gossip] You may have noticed all the celebrities trotting out their new pets over the past couple of months.

Many of them are playing temporary foster parent to a needy pup.

Of course, fostering a pet is a nice thing to do.

You might be interested to know, however, that one of those celebrities… is lying to you!

If we told you the celebrity’s profession, their gender, and how many dogs they had, it would be too easy, so we’re going to be a little vague about the details.

Let’s just say that the dog/s with which they have been photographed did not come to them via a fostering situation. The celebrity bought the dog/s.

However, during these times, telling everyone that they are fostering the dog/s is a much better story. It enables them to book some charitable goodwill, create some new social media material, and gives them nice, regular bits of publicity. So that’s what they are going with.

As any charitable organization would welcome such wonderful and free publicity from a celebrity, they certainly won’t be rejecting the celebrity’s claims.

While the point of being a foster parent is to simply care for the pet/s temporarily, at the end of our fake fostering period, Our Celebrity will claim that they simply fell in in love with the dog/s and decided to adopt.

When that happens, most people will probably say, “Awww! What a wonderful person!”

Maybe they are a good dog owner. Just know that their whole fostering/adoption story is a lie!

    No idea about the celebrity, but if a charity is mentioned by name, they should say that Celebrity is lying. They will have publicity anyway.

    Maisie Williams from GOT, adopted a dog and made a $$ contribution to the shelter.

    Not sure who this is … I think a lot of celebs are using their foster dogs for PR.

    Kaia Gerber? She posts photos of her foster puppies all the time. Or maybe phony ‘humanitarian’ Leonardo DiCaprio is trying to kill two birds with one stone by ‘fostering’ with his ‘girlfriend’? 1. Convincing the public the ‘relationship’ is real and serious and 2. looking like a good guy. I also noticed that they chose two VERY photogenic pure-bred huskies.

  7. The Big D says

    I am thinking Kaia Gerber since she is the only one that comes to mind.

    What do I love the most about my dogs-I have two-is their innocence-they love unconditionally and trust that I will always take care of them-and I will!

    Selena Gomez? Meghan Markle?

    I love my dogs because they’re so funny and loving. One is a snuggler and one is a princess who does everything on her own terms (and no, her name is not Markle!) They have such distinct personalities and they make me laugh every day, and we could all use that.

    This could be one of many…
    There is nothing wrong with buying a dog, but to purposefully give the impression that it’s a “rescue” for likability and extra attention is wrong.
    Op- my frenchie is a total clown and the queen bee of the palace… and my Bernedoodle is just the biggest love bug.

  12. Rosalie says

    Oh oh — could it be Ellen DeGeneres and her new dog, Mrs. Wallis? This certainly hasn’t been America’s sweetheart’s greatest month as far as press coverage goes.

    Everything.

  14. Whisper says

    Leo and his girlfriend Camilla supposedly fostering two huskies. Usually pure breeds are not the ones that need fostering so I would believe they bought them and the fostering part is for show. For Camilla’s cred, Leo has a crappy reputation when it comes to charities.

  15. ILUVCA4evr says

    Celebrity: At first I thought, Ellen DeGeneres buuut………….Megan and Harry just ‘adopted’ a dog recently. I feel sorry for the dog…actually I feel sorry for anything that is in their orbit.

    [Optional] What do you love most about YOUR dog? I don’t have one, but my son does. Named ‘Brian’ after Brian on Family Guy. He is a hoot!

    Henry Golding and wife
    His pit bull Stella

    This is my guess because they said they “welcomed” the dog. That is usually what couples say when a surrogate gave birth to their child and they don’t want to get called out later for misleading people.

    Or Lili Reinhart and her new dog Milo.

  19. Melvin says

    Miley is the only one I can think of with loads of dogs.
    I know may of them do but she’s the only one I can think of by name.

  21. ProfessorPep11 says

    The only celebrity I can think of who is fostering a dog and is known for using the coronavirus for publicity and lying about it is Colton Underwood.

  22. RedShoesOnAThursday says

    Celebrity: Meghan Markle

    [Optional] : I have a cat. She is the best companion and travels with me everywhere. I adopted her from organization that rescued her from a high kill shelter.

  25. darkrose says

    Kaia Gerber.

    Hey, at least she didn’t get a face tat like her brother, right?

    I adore my dog just because she’s always full of love and simple happiness.

  26. dizzygirl says

    How utterly exhausting their lives must be, having to remember all those lies & the planning involved for publicity. I really can’t fathom such a life.

  28. mayer2816 says

    Gosh so many of them. Kaley Cuoco, Leo DiCap, so many. They’re all needy. Let’s hope they keep all the dogs and take care of them til the end!

  29. lostinabsentia says

    I was really rooting for Meghan in the beginning. I thought she was a even tempered and a breath of fresh air for a stifled monarchy. Over the past few months a lot has trickled out and spilled over into the media and her happy and put together facade has broken. I’m disgusted how much she plays the media and public opinion. It’s a really gross display of privilege.

  34. SeattleGirl206 says

    It’s Colton Underwood. News is already out he’s “adopted” his foster pet.

  36. PomegranatePam says

    Meghan or Colton, just because “former duchess” and “bachelor” are job descriptions that would give them away.

    Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think any more highly of celebrities with rescue dogs. It’s what a lot of people would do if they had the money, space, and help. At this point, I’d be an instant fan of anyone who said they don’t see the point of living with an animal.

  38. queenpin says

    I’m going with Markle. Basically because lying is her default.

    I love how our dog will protect my daughter against anyone and anything. Good dog!

  39. MrsCleaver says

    Ellen & Portia’s new poodle pup Mrs. Wallis. Sure…lots of purebred poodle pups at shelters . It’s too bad Ellen is such a nasty person from all reports in real life, she seems so great on her show.
