Everything You Need to Know About 'Wicked' Star Ariana Grande's 10 Rescue Dogs

The wait is almost over! With the premiere of “Wicked” just weeks away, fans can finally see Ariana Grande as Galinda “Glinda” the Good Witch!  

In celebration of Grande stepping into such an iconic role, we thought we’d highlight that the “Thank U Next” singer is one of the biggest dog lovers in Hollywood. 

According to Modern Dog Magazine, Ariana Grande has quite a large family of furry friends, with 10 rescue dogs in total, including two Labradoodles named Ophelia and Sirius, a Shibu Inu called Fawkes, two American Pit Bull Terriers named Myron and Cinnamon, a Dachshund-German Shepherd called Coco, Lafayette, a Bloodhound, Strauss, a Yorkshire Terrier, a  Chihuahua called Pignoli, and Toulouse, a Beagle-Chihuahua. 

 Myron belonged to Grande’s ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller, who passed away in 2018. After his tragic death, Grande adopted the dog.

During a November 1 interview on the “Sentimental Men” podcast, Grande referenced her devotion to Myron. While recording the podcast episode, Grande paused the interview to let Myron, who was barking, out. 

“This is my full-time job. This is my full-time life. I live for Myron,” said Grande. 

In addition, Grande became somewhat of a momager for her precious pup, Toulouse, when he modeled in a campaign for the brand, Coach. The sweet dog showed off his intelligence, alongside Grande, in an April 2016  “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” interview. 

On top of being a devoted pup parent, Grande also co-founded the 501 (c) (3) non-profit animal rescue, Orange Twins Rescue. According to its mission statement, the organization helps “Senior animals, strays, neglected, abused, or special needs.” 

“We do not discriminate and are proud of our fast-acting, effective, and loving work! We are proud of our commitment to stepping up, and stepping in in times of need. We value our strong connection to our community, and are constantly working to find new avenues of outreach and education,” read the mission.
