Well-known actor Sarah Michelle Gellar, who gained international fame with her role as ‘Buffy Summers’ in the fan-favorite drama series ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer,’ updated her Instagram feed with a quiet adorable photo of her family’s new member.
On May 3, the recipient of numerous acting awards including Teen Choice Awards, Young Hollywood Awards, and Saturn Awards, released a photo that sees a sweet puppy with brown fur and told her fans and followers that her family enlarged a little bit with this cuteness.
Underneath the photo, the mother-of-two – a 12-year-old daughter and a 9-year-old son with actor husband Freddie Prinze Jr. – wrote the following message as a caption:
“Because clearly two kids and two puppies are not enough… we just adopted this sweet dog that needed a home.”
Then the star continued her message by introducing her beloved dog to her fans & followers and celebrated her own Mother’s Day with these words:
“Meet Franz… he’s a year old dachshund and the cuddliest little guy. I’m in love, happy Mother’s Day to me (a little early).”
Following the Hollywood actor released the post, the official Instagram page for the animal rights organization, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) left the following comment:
“Aww, so much love to celebrate for your family on Mother’s Day. Welcome home Franz! Thank you for adopting and inspiring others to help homeless animals by doing the same.”
