With Drew Barrymore’s dog Douglas appearing frequently on The Drew Barrymore Show, many want to know more about the adorable pup, including his breed, age, and history with the actress and daytime talk show host. The dog has been with Barrymore for the majority of his life, well before she debuted her CBS variety show in 2020. He can be seen in many segments on the show, Instagram posts on her official account, and even in commercials that feature her and the canine together. Here’s everything we know about Drew Barrymore’s pet Douglas.
How old is Drew Barrymore’s dog Douglas?
Drew Barrymore’s dog Douglas is 14 years old, as of 2025, which is on the senior end for a medium-sized canine.
The actress previously shared during a speech at the ASPCA, per People, that she had adopted him when he was just 8 weeks old, specifically from a shelter in 2010. She said, “He had been left in a box on the side of the road. He was very shaken up and he looked like a Chihuahua.”
In a 2017 Instagram post, Barrymore clarified that he was “a rescue from the San Fernando Valley.” She also revealed in a segment in April 2024 that “as he’s getting older, his hearing is not as quality as it used to be.”
What breed is Drew Barrymore’s dog Douglas?
It is unclear what breed Drew Barrymore’s dog Douglas is, though she believes that he could be a cross between a chihuahua and a whippet. That said, a fan on Instagram wrote that Douglas looked like a twin of her Carolina Dog.
Douglas has been featured in many videos on the show, whether it’s him nibbling at Eva Mendes’s dress, apparently being “turned on” by Jeremy Renner’s cologne, and sitting in a comfy dog bed in the conference room. He’s also appeared alongside the actress in a commercial for Ring Pet Portraits.
Sadly, Drew lost her other dog, a golden retriever named Lucy, in April 2024. She has many other animals, including a snake, a bearded dragon, and four cats.
