She's also rescued a pitbull named Tatona and adopted a poodle puppy named Mrs. Wallace Browning. DeGeneres is known for her love of animals and has spoken publicly about her dogs and the importance of responsible pet ownership.
Ellen opened up about her love for dogs back in 2017, telling Good Housekeeping: "They offer unconditional love in ways humans can't. "Plus, they don't talk back. Unless you have one of those dogs who says, 'I ruv you,' in which case, please videotape it and send it to my show."
