Lara Spencer may not be adding any new family members to her brood anytime soon, but that's only because she just did!
The Good Morning America star is already a doting mom to son Duff, 21, and her daughter Kat, 19, with her ex-husband, CNN reporter David Haffenreffer, who she was married to from 2000 to 2015. She then married Richard McVey, an entrepreneur and chief executive officer of MarketAxess Holdings on September 1, 2018 with a wedding in Vail, Colorado.
The ABC mainstay is also an adoring dog mom to several pups, and though she recently became an empty nester when her daughter left for college, she is making up for it through pet adoption!
Lara has long been an advocate for various pet adoption services, particularly the North Shore Animal League, and ahead of her Thanksgiving celebrations, she took to Instagram to remind her followers about the joys of pet adoption, revealing that just last week she welcomed a new family member into her Greenwich, Connecticut home.
The dog lover shared a sweet photo of herself clad in a silk, blush pink button-down blouse and matching pants, smiling as she received a kiss from an adorable white pitbull mix.
"I fell in love this morning on GMA," she shared, before revealing: "I would adopt this lover in ONE second if I hadn't just adopted another rescue pup a week ago."
She then joked: "My husband would probably ask to be adopted if I brought another one home," before sharing that the sweet dog next to her was still up for adoption.

"His name is CHIEF," she continued, adding: "He is proof positive that a pitbull mix deserves the same loving care as all other breeds."

The comments section under the post was quickly flooded with praise for Lara and gushing remarks about pitbulls, with one fan writing: "I have a pittie. She's the best dog we've ever had," as others followed suit with: "Pitties are one of the most loving and loyal breeds. All they want is to give and get love," and: "I love your passion to help animals," as well as: "Lara I LOVE the animal advocacy you are doing! Thank you! I hope that Chief finds his person/people!" plus another fan added: "The cutest. You too Lara."
