'American Horror Story' Star Sarah Paulson Adopts Another Rescue Dog

In March 2020, “American Horror Story” star Sarah Paulson and her partner, Holland Taylor, adopted an adorable rescue pup by the name of Winnie. Before the Emmy-award-winning actress brought home the precious pup, she was living at the California-based rescue Paw Works. During a September 2020 interview on “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” Paulson shared that her furry friend was part chihuahua, wirehaired dachshund, and rat terrier.

While speaking to veterinarian Dr. Patrick Mahaney in August 2020, Paulson shared the pandemic was one of the reasons she decided to adopt a furry friend.

“My work-life just really kind of stopped, and I was on the phone with a friend of mine... I said, ‘should I just drive out right now to… where Paw Works is… I know they are doing adoptions this weekend.’ And she was like, ‘wait you really should’ and I was like, ‘wait I should?’ And she was like, ‘yeah you should go right now,’” explained the 46-year-old.

On September 14, Paulson took to Instagram to announce that she adopted another canine companion. The post featured a picture of the very good girl called Louise. In the caption, the actress shared the dog’s nicknames, which are Ousie and Lulu. She also noted that she adopted Louise from Sally's Rescue, Inc., a 501(c)3 organization located in Los Angeles.

Quite a few of Paulson’s famous friends commented on the post.

“Scrumptious,” wrote ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ star Lisa Rinna.

“Oh my goodness!! That baby!!! [heart-eye emoji],” added “This Is Us” star Chrissy Metz.

“Her socks [pleading face emoji],” added Paulson’s “AHS” co-star Leslie Grossman, in reference to Louise’s adorable white paws.

Sally's Rescue also shared a picture of Paulson and her new furry friend on Instagram. In the photo, the actress posed with her two dogs and the rescue’s founder, Sally Cicchetti.

“I can let everyone know that Josie, who is now named Louise, was adopted @mssarahcatharinepaulson [three clapping hand emoji] @hollandvtaylor [two pink heart emojis] We all know that she got an amazing home. Louise has a new friend, Winnie, who is a version of her. #longhairedchihuahua @mssarahcatharinepaulson We all know you are an amazing actor! Now everyone knows you are also a huge dog lover [smiling face surrounded by hearts emoji]. Thank you for making this such a fun adoption and for being so down to earth and genuine,” read a portion of the post. 

During an October 2021 appearance on “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” Paulson briefly discussed her two dogs. She noted that while they looked similar to each other, “they aren’t siblings.” Ryan Seacrest joked that the dogs “have the same stylist.”

“What if I’m there in morning diffusing her ears to give her that look. It wouldn’t be above me,” quipped the actress.
