Kaley Cuoco Made ‘Excruciating Decision’ To Rehome Her Dog After ‘Mega Fights’ With Fiancé’s Pet

Following the death of her dog Shirley, Kaley Cuoco recalled the “excruciating decision” she previously made to rehome her pet.

On November 24, Cuoco took to social media to explain her reasoning for rehoming her pet while announcing her dog’s death.

Cuoco noted in her video that it’s “important to be honest” and wanted to explain her resettlement situation. The actress is the founder of Oh Norman, whose mission is to “get dogs adopted,” according to their website.

“Most of you know I had (Shirley) for many, many, many years,” Cuoco began in a video uploaded to Instagram.

“Suddenly people stopped seeing her and I started getting a lot of questions about where she was because it’s very unlike me to just stop writing about a dog I’ve had since she was 6 weeks old ,” she continued.

“Long story short, she is a very special dog to me, as you all know. And when the love of my life came into my life, Tom, who is also a huge dog lover, moved across the country with his beautiful German Shepherd. Blue.

“A few years ago Blue and Shirley unfortunately started getting into some mega fights,” Cuoco continued.

“I loved her so much, but I was really scared. I didn’t want anything really bad to happen or for someone to accidentally be there and get hurt.”

The “Big Bang Theory” actress explained that Shirley was “determined to kill” Blue. She noted that Shirley also got into other dog fights, except with Cuoco’s other dog, Norman, who she grew up with.

She also noted that Shirley was “such a people dog” who enjoyed being with other people and families. Ultimately, Cuoco decided to rehome her dog because of “how she was acting.”

“I loved her so much, but I was really scared. I didn’t want anything really bad to happen or someone to accidentally get hurt,” she said.

Cuoco moved the dog with her pet handler, Tony, and his wife Angie, who helped take care of Shirley for her.
