In a post on Miss Peaches’ official platforms on Tuesday, Portnoy announced that he was rescuing another dog from the shelter: Pete the Beagle.

“Me and Miss Peaches tomorrow are flying to Lifeline Animal Shelter again. We’ve been waiting for what we think is the perfect sibling for Miss Peaches. She loves everyone and I want her to have the fullest life, so tomorrow we’re picking up Pete the Beagle,” he said in the video.
