Kristen Bell shares photos with rescue dog she recently adopted

Kristen Bell just introduced an adorable new rescue puppy her family adopted.

The actress, 40, shared an Instagram post on Tuesday featuring photos of the small dog, named Whiskey, and gave a little information on his backstory in the caption of the post.

"Meet Whiskey! Before he was rescued he got in a fight with a truck and lost (a leg) but who needs four legs anyway?" she wrote.

She also shared how her husband, Dax Shepard, their two daughters, Delta, 6, and Lincoln, 7, and their family's other dog, Frank, are adjusting to their new family member.

"He and dog Brother Frank share my lap (see photo evidence), the girls adore him and Dad lovingly tolerates him," she wrote. "No more truck stops for you, buddy."

"Welcome home," she added.

Bell is a very passionate animal lover and often shares photos with her pets, along with dogs that she fosters.
