Kaley Cuoco Adopts Rescue Dog Dolly As Newest Pack Member: 'We All Hit The Jackpot'
The 'Big Bang Theory' alum is known for her passionate love of animals and lives with numerous rescue pets on her ranch
Hello, Dolly!
On Wednesday, June 26, Kaley Cuoco posted a selfie on Instagram announcing that she had adopted a new dog named Dahlia, whom she calls Dolly for short. The Cane Corso mix is the latest addition to her family, and the animal lover told her Instagram followers that she "hit the jackpot" with the pup.
She also shared an Instagram video featuring Dolly making herself at home with Cuoco, her partner Tom Pelphrey, and her 16-month-old daughter, Matilda. "We have 3 babies!" she jokes in the video, nodding to Dolly, Matilda, and her dog Miss Opal, another pup in Cuoco's growing pack.
In a voiceover, Cuoco, 38, says in the clip that when she saw a picture of six-month-old Dahlia on the Instagram page for the nonprofit I Stand With My Pack, she got chills and knew the pup belonged in her family.
She also says that her daughter was so excited to meet the dog that she called out her name. "She's all the dogs we had rolled into one," Cuoco gushed. "The heavens sent her down to us."

"Meet Dahlia aka Dolly, our newest pack member. We ♥️ her so much. Dolly is the sweetest, most zen cane corso mix — we'll definitely do a DNA test find out more," she wrote in the video's caption.
The Flight Attendant star also said that she plans on making up for Dolly's "rough start with an amazing life," calling her "the best addition" to hers. She thanked I Stand With My Pack and Courtney Davis, whose Instagram bio notes that she advocates for and fosters dogs, for saving Dolly.
"PS to the monsters who had her before, thank you!!" the Big Bang Theory alum signed off her caption. "She's safe now with us ♥️ consider rescuing your next family member. You won't regret it! 🐾"

Cuoco's love for animals goes well beyond her newly adopted dog. She owns a ranch in Thousand Oaks, Calif., filled with horses, donkeys, chickens, goats, cows and pigs. She bought the property in 2018 and finds solace when she spends time there sans cell phone.
"I come out here, and there's no phone. The animals are all running up to you," Cuoco told PEOPLE in May. "It feels like an honor to have this space."
She also launched the pet care brand Oh Norman!, which she named after her beloved dog Norman, a pit bull mix who died in 2021.
Cuoco plans to grow the company "similar to what the Honest Co. has done for babies" and hopes to give "millions back to rescue."
