I love every second of it. But again, it is very hard to say goodbye,” Beth said last year (via PopSugar).
Reese Witherspoon
This actress is a self-proclaimed lover of animals. While dogs are a more conventional pet (and Reese has had several in her life), donkeys were actually a thing for her.

The couple has three rescue cats named Charlie, George and Chairman, and three dogs: Wolf is a Maltese-Poodle mix, Mabel, is a Standard Poodle and the Augie is a Jack Russell mix. “I’ve always loved animals since I can remember and always thought someday I would work with them in some way,” Ellen told People Magazine in 2009.

Robert Downey Jr.
The Iron Man star has quite a few pets and while he might be a “cat guy,” he loves dogs too. In 2011, the actor talked about two kittens that he rescued from a shelter. “To understand the way cats play and fight is to understand the secrets of the universe. It’s to understand Wing Chun, to understand the palace tradition, to understand yoga. I would kill for these young, sweet little feline souls, these two boys. I would protect them with my life,” he said (via SheKnows).
Tori Spelling
So far, you’ve been reading mostly about celebs who keep dogs and cats as pets. Well, Tori Spelling takes pet ownership to a-whole-new level.

This country star absolutely loves dog; she has six of them. She also has a flock of chickens, two pot bellied pigs, three minihorses, three horses, and three cats. “Just like music, animals have always been a part of my life. We have never been without pets. I can’t imagine how that would be. Thankfully, I’ll never have to experience that [because I’m] just like my parents, who always had an open door policy; I feel the same way about dogs and animals. If any animal needs a place, [they] can stay here,” Lambert told Modern Dog Magazine.
Kelly Clarkson
