Just a few weeks ago, Sir Patrick Stewart began posting videos and photos to his Instagram account of a beautiful pitbull named Ginger, who he had decided to foster in his Los Angeles home. Now, less than a month later, Stewart has decided to permanently add Ginger to his family, and has begun charity work with the ASPCA and Wags and Walks, the two organizations he worked with to foster and adopt Ginger.
Stewart’s new addition is unsurprising–it was clear from their first meeting there was serious puppy love between the two. His “foster fail” (what you call a pet that is initially fostered, but ends up getting adopted by its foster family permanently) inspired him to get involved in animal rights–encouraging other celebs to adopt pitties and speaking out against dog fighting.The X-Men and Star Trek alum is certainly not blazing a trail for celebrities using their platform to speak up for animal rights. In fact, he has joined an army of famous animal lovers by welcoming Ginger into his home. Here are some other familiar faces and their furry counterparts. Now the only question left is “who rescued who?”
