Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos Weigh Adopting Small Rescue After Loss of 17-Year-Old Chewie

They say any new dog must be small enough to travel under an airplane seat.

Overview

  • The Live with Kelly and Mark co-hosts told People they are considering a companion for their dog Lena months after Chewie’s February euthanasia.
  • Ripa said they do not expect to be over the loss but are open to giving Lena a sibling through a rescue adoption.
  • Size is a key factor due to frequent travel, with Ripa noting the dog must fit in the seat area in front of them on flights.
  • They previously shared on-air that Chewie had stopped eating and was extremely dehydrated with neurological issues, prompting a humane euthanasia at age 17.
  • Consuelos also revealed he will guest-star on ABC’s 9-1-1, while separate reports suggest he may appear in a future Scream film, which has not been confirmed.
