George and Amal Clooney – ever the do-gooders – have done another wonderful thing for this world – they adopted a dog. While news of an adoption isn’t always groundbreaking, it is always worth commending a celebrity for doing so, because their behaviors have the ability to inspire others to do likewise.
“She is a four-year-old Basset Hound mix with gorgeous looks that would land her on any ‘Hush Puppies’ commercial,” San Gabriel Valley Humane Society said on their website.
“Despite those adorable googly eyes, pretty long ears, and shorty legs, Millie was found without a home and hoping for food scraps outside of a local restaurant in San Gabriel earlier this month.”
“Today her luck changed for the better when she was adopted by George and Amal Clooney. They were searching for a basset hound and saw Millie’s picture on Petfinder. They did a ‘meet and greet’ with her and spent time introducing her to their other rescue, a cocker spaniel named Louie.
“It was good news that Millie and Louie hit it off and the happy, new family headed home together! We hope Millie will stay in touch and send photos. Congratulations to the Clooney family and thank you for adopting!”
Give the shelter’s Facebook page a like – maybe you’ll find a dog or cat who you can’t resist adopting!

super inspiring to this celebrity couple’s:-)Mrs Clooney
Adam
Really? They’re worth a trillion dollars and will probably hire a dog nanny. And it looks like a purebred lol
Good for them.
Awww that’s awesome……funny why we still give a shit about celebs and not what a normal person does…because we all know celebrities care about what we do, awesome that the dog is given a great home and a second chance
IDGAF about George Clooney.
Awww.
You gotta love a hound.
Thanks George for the wonderful activity.
If it takes people like them to inspire to help dogs / any animal…then kudos!
Who cares
Yes!!! Cheers to more happy adoptions!!
Awesome that the dog has found a forever home regardless of who it is adopting him.
Anything that can raise the profile in a positive way, can only be a good thing, kudos to them 😊
Well woopeedeedoo. Every dog I have owned has been a rescue.
Chris Murphy even the Clooney’s have basset hounds😌
Nice They will inspire others to do a very good thing for shelters dogs!!! Thanks for do this!!!
EVER THE DO GOODERS? Quote unquote regular people do right & rescue every single day!
Basset hound!!!!

Beautiful pic!!!
Geez, lighten up. That’s a lucky dog, no matter how you look at it.
She looks full blooded Basset to me, not a mix. Glad she has a new home. Lucky dog!😊
also doing the right thing by bringing their existing dog along to make sure the energy levels were a good match.
Wendy Boce 👍❤️😄
How lucky you are, mr& mrs Clooney sheer love came your way .
Another reason to love George!
Liked both of these people before , like them even more now…how nice of them to adopt instead of going to breeder….unless papers are with any dog from a pound they say mix, whether or not they are
love love love… such a gift to be found by a dog who needs to be rescued
Yay for the doggie!!!
Bassets are the best!
Such a cutie pie! (George and the dog!)
😊
George and amal Clooney meet Tia at Villalobes really help more than one please
Wonder if bassett drool.will become the new thing for A -listers
Thank you!
This was really nice. They could have spent buckets of money on a designer dog but they did what I think is the right thing. Nice going.
Awesome
Congratulations, she’s beautiful!
I think they should buy a farm, hire some animal lover caretakers and adopt 200 dogs, some horses, cats…….😎
nah, I am sure the housekeeper will take care of him instead. They travel a lot, they won’t stay home to take care of the dog.
Awsome
Awesome. So how much time will these jet setting people have to spend with the dog?
Rescues are great!!!
Some people revel in the status of a popular fad breed; ANY DOG that needs RESCUE deserves the BEST. ALL DOGS are deserving of love and the Utmost RESPECT…..
Marwa Rabie ماتعبعتيلهم ليو 😁😁
Now, THAT’LL freak the tabloids.
Basset hound!!!!! 😍😍😍
Hounds are best ! (Y)
That is great. Now if all the super rich actors would SUPPORT their local shelters,no kill especially and rescues,our shelters would be so much better off and be able to do more. And help stop the rounding up and sending to slaughter our wild horses, I doubt their support would put even a tiny dent in their finances
They’re too busy to give quality time for their pets.
Who gives a crap?
Looks like a nice dog.
Barb.C. good looking Dog and hotty George.
Wonderful picture—-you both are angels on earth for this beautiful dog…hope many more people and celebrities adopt pets too!
❤❤❤❤👍
Hope they understand he requires constant loving, if they don’t, he/she will remind them. Bassets love to be loved. I know, I have one
What a super lucky pooch !
I have a hound beagle mix that is a rescue and they are so gentle and sweet. WHo couldn’t love those ears!!
I hope many others come to San Gabriel Valley Humane Society to find their perfect companion dog or cats.
What a fantastic couple. I hope other celebs do the same. These two will have a happy life with their chosen dog.
Great looking dog
Yvonne Ong 😄👍
Bassets- lovely stubborn dogs! He will ignore them when he wants to though no matter who they are!
Wow, super
Awesome! Love u guys!
I like George now
De wereld staat in brand, overal liggen mensen te creperen en George en Amal halen het nieuws omdat ze een hond nemen! Veel gekker gaat het toch, hoop ik, niet worden?!
Big hearts George and Amal.. God bless…
This makes them even more lovable to me !
Why is this news….so what. The dog looks scared or I’ll.
Wonderful.
Now that’s a very lucky dog indeed!
<3 Petfinder. What you are looking for is generally there….though you may have to travel to pick up your new family memeber….it has proven to be well worth it.
We also adopted our basset 12 yrs ago… basset is very sweet and passionate. Big eater though
Sherridan Lee

Didnt they get divorced?
I hope, they won’t bring poor pup back. when they get divorce.
v nice couple
Thank you for the happiness of a dog.
Thank God that some celebrities are adopting shelter dogs instead of paying thousands of dollars for purebreds or GMO dogs which encourage puppy mills.
Forget the Nespresso ads. This is a much better job!

I understand that they next plan to take in over 1000 Syrian refugees and house them in their home. How lovely that Hollywood is pitching in!
Way to go George and Amal. I rescued a Basset too. I got her at 9 months old and she’s now almost 10. She’s the sweetest and happiest dog. I love the big paws.
Poor people like me adopt a dog and who cares? Le a celebrity adopt a dog and you my as well make them a hero… Wtf there no better then the next guy that adopts one and nothing is said and know one care… Wtf make them so great? Oh I forgot they have big check books. Really sad don’t you think!!!
Kids need adopting too, too many waiting for their forever home 😞
Cuddles with George on the sofa no doubt – lucky bloody dog! 😍
Thank you for setting an example
way to Mr.And Mrs.Clooney.Please spoil your dog
