Dave Bautista Welcomes New Rescue Dog

Dave Bautista has a new rescue pup, and he’s been showing off the pooch on Instagram. The actor and former wrestler posted a picture of himself sitting with his three dogs, while holding another – a cute white puppy. 

Important Celebrity Contacts

Bautista then shared another four photos of the puppy, Talulah. He explained that some of his famous friends had helped him bring her home – through his “Guardians of the Galaxy” co-star Chris Pratt he got to know Millie Bobby Brown. The “Stranger Things” star is filming “The Electric State”, set to be released next year, with Pratt.

Thanks to Millie’s love for rescue animals she made it all possible for me to adopt and give Talulah a forever home!” he said. “I’m so grateful, thank you! Welcome to the family Talulah! #adoptdontshop”. 

Bautista adopted the pup from Joey’s Friends, which takes dogs from local shelters and fosters them until they find their forever homes. 

Of course, followers were quick to respond and it’s fair to say that everyone thinks Talulah is one very cute pup. “She is beautiful!” said one, while another said, “Awwee the babies … this is so sweet”.

Dave Bautista: Dog Dad

The actor is well-known for his love of dogs, and Pit Bulls in particular. Just two years ago he adopted another, Penny. The pup was found eating trash and wearing a metal chain that was cutting into her neck. When Bautista found out, he offered a $5000 reward for anyone who could provide information on the person responsible for her condition. 

While nobody came forward, Penny received surgery to remove the chain, and found her forever home with committed dog dad Bautista. 

Along with Talulah and Penny, Bautista’s pets are rounded off by fellow rescues Ollie and Maggie. All the signs suggest that the four will be great friends together.

Dave Bautista will be reprising his role as the villainous Glossu Rabban in “Dune: Part 2.”
