Fans want to know more about Jimmy Kimmel’s dog Todd, who the popular late night host adopted early in 2024. In one of the intros for his show, Jimmy Kimmel revealed that the full name of his white-and-brown dog is humorously Todd Birkenstock Kimmel, and that his kids had pestered him about getting a furry friend for at least a year before he caved. Jimmy and his wife adopted Todd, a rescue dog, from the Los Angeles branch of Wags & Walks. Here’s more info about Jimmy Kimmel’s adopted dog, particularly his age and breed.
How old is Jimmy Kimmel’s dog?
Jimmy Kimmel’s dog is at least four years old as of 2025. In the January 2024 segment where the late night host revealed he had adopted Todd, he mentioned that it was three years old at the time.
Jimmy Kimmel mentions that Todd is quite unusual for a young dog, saying that it apparently doesn’t like walks and once ran out of the house at night, leading him to chase after him while yelling “Todd!” throughout the neighborhood. He jokingly believes that Todd thinks he has been dognapped by Kimmel’s family. The dog has also vomited on a rug and pooped on Kimmel’s bed.
What breed is Jimmy Kimmel’s dog?
The breed of Kimmel’s dog Todd is what he calls a “macadoodle,” a cross between a poodle and macaroni and cheese. He admits he actually doesn’t know what the dog’s breed is, though it’s at least a poodle mix of some variety. From pictures that have posted of Todd, we believe it’s most likely a cockapoo, shih-poo, or maltipoo.
Despite all the trials and tribulations of bringing a new dog home, though, Jimmy Kimmel still posts adorable pictures of Todd. The show also made a funny compilation comparing his dog’s stares against the stares of Trump’s attorney Todd Blanche.
If you’re interested in adopting a dog from Wags & Walks like Kimmel did, it will cost roughly $450 to $650 depending on the dog’s age. The nonprofit organization typically advocates for “wrongfully stereotyped bully breeds, medical dogs, and mamas + puppies that are often overlooked and at-risk due to overcrowding.”
