I've Got Much Love for Much Love

PetSugar — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 12:30:57 -0700

Even though we've wrapped up our wedding content, seeing these fab pictures from Much Love Animal Rescue's Second Annual "Bow Wow WOW!" reminded me of my BFF's wedding a couple years back. Instead of going the traditional registry route for presents, they requested that guests donate to this same rescue organization for unwanted or abused animals. They adopted their pooch, Baby, from here – the pit bull was found in very bad condition after being dragged behind a moving car! – and just wanted to give back to the great shelter. Quite popular with generous celebrities as well, Tori Spelling has a fund for sick and injured animals in the name of her late Mimi La Rue, and others – Hilary Duff's Chiquita and Lake Bell's Margaret – have come from here as well. In addition to placing animals, they host a number of adoption fairs and celeb-studded events like this fundrasing event on July 19 in Beverly Hills.

There were many recognizable faces in attendance – check them out in a gallery when you read more.

Vintage Video: Behind the Scenes With Mimi LaRue

Sadly, Mimi LaRue passed away but she's far from long gone from my mind – how many dogs have we seen sporting tulle for goodness sake? It's not just me who loved this pup, Tori Spelling herself said:

She was not just a dog but a fashion icon and legend amongst Hollywood dogs. She received fan email on a regular basis, and I often joked she got sent more designer clothes than me!

Check out this classic video from season one of So NoTORIous!

Missing Mimi LaRue: Tori Spelling's Beloved Pug Dies

PetSugar — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 16:20:17 -0700

I'm saddened to report that Mimi LaRue died Tuesday of natural causes at the age of 11. This Pug was a beloved furry family member and died surrounded by those who loved her most including Tori Spelling, Dean McDermott, and their two children, son Liam and 10-day-old daughter, Stella. So maybe the pooch was a lil overweight, but – oh my – wasn't she always spotted being super stylish all over the place?

I can imagine the whole family's devastated although Tori shared that her dog had suffered from medical problems relating to her hips and neck for years:

I'm convinced she waited around to make sure I had the daughter I always dreamt about before she left us . . . She was a loving pet and a true diva to the end.

To recap Mimi's wild outfits over the years (Legwarmers! Costumes! Bikini!) check out this gallery when you read more.

Found! Mimi La Rue's Lilydress

PetSugar — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 07:00:09 -0700

Lucky pup! While Tori was promoting her new book sTORI Telling at LA's Kitson boutique, she not only brought along her family for support . . . but her lil pup, too. Unsurprisingly, Mimi La Rue was wearing a dress from the fabulous new Little Lily Spring 2008 Collection. Nothing less than the best so see pictures of the happy family (and retail info for the dress) when you read more.

I've found the super cute Ally Lilydress ($55.95) also offered in an Ally Lilytank ($49.95) for your pups up to 22 pounds.

Quiz: How Well Do You Know Your Celebrity Pets?

PetSugar — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 16:00:34 -0700

Being rather particular about always using both my first and middle names, I can easily appreciate stars whose dogs are known by two names. However, that does make it doubly hard to remember them. Test your knowledge with this quiz – I'll list 10 celebrity names and offer pet name options to choose from for each, starting with Demi Moore. Match the correctly named pup to each two-legged friend and check back for a gallery of the duos later this week.

Celebs Love Playboy And Puppies

PopSugar — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 10:05:23 -0700

An interesting assortment of celebrities headed to the Playboy mansion this weekend for the Much Love Animal Rescue Benefit. Hef himself was nowhere to be seen, but Haylie & Hilary Duff were there keeping up their philanthropic sides. Unfortunately it looks like Hilary left her two dogs at home, though that red carpet puppy is pretty adorable, too. Meanwhile, Bob Saget and Lori Loughlin had a mini Full House reunion - no sign of MK & Ashley, boo. We have to say though that the puppies stole the show and won our hearts - any celebrity looks good cuddling up to one of those cute doggies.

Lots more pics including Tori & Dean in a completely ridiculous outfit, Holly Madison and William Baldwin, so just read more

Trend Setters: Here Comes the... Dog

PetSugar — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 07:00:28 -0800

Nicole Richie may not be any closer to marriage... but her pooches are! It seems mom (and mom-to-be) already picked up some formal wear for Honeychild and Foxxy Cleopatra at Santa Monica's The Wagging Tail. Her pooches can sport a new tuxedo and bridesmaid dress at her yet-to-be-announced wedding... and they won't be the first. Celebrities like Adam Sandler, Gwen Stefani, and Tori Spelling have all included their furry family on the big day.

The growing trend of including dogs in weddings has increased the clothing options for pooches who receive an invite to a formal event – and no one wants to show up underdressed!
