Katie Price has got her seventh dog after facing calls for her to be banned from owning pets
The 45-year-old former glamour girl revealed she had added a black Labrador puppy to her set of animals because she “couldn’t say no” to rescuing the pup – and added: “What difference is another one?”
Katie, who has had at least seven pets die in her care, told her sister on their ‘The Katie Price Show’ podcast: “Fifteen minutes before I come on her, I get a call from a friend across the road, ‘Kate, someone has just given me a puppy, they can’t have it, can you have it?’
“I am like, ‘What is it?’ ‘A black Labrador,’ and I went, ‘Aw I really can’t have any more dogs.’ and I said just bring it over.
“So I have got a nine-week-old Labrador puppy. They had puppies, sold it to someone and they got it for their kid who has got autism but the kid is going absolutely mad with it.
“They have had it three weeks, the puppy must be 12 weeks, sorry. Tiny it is.
“I said, ‘Bring it around,’ so I have rescued a dog.
“I couldn’t say no, it turned up and needs a home, so I have rescued a black Labrador pup.
“The dogs are all going crazy and it’s a little girl and I don’t normally have little girls because of their periods because it’s mess, but I couldn’t say no.
“So now I have added another dog to the six dogs and just like kids, I am like, ‘What difference is another one?’ So I have two puppies to train at the moment.”
As Katie’s pet death toll climbed, a petition was launched to stop her getting more.
Along with her new rescue pup, she now has four Chihuahuas – named Captain, Buddy, Colin, and Batman – as well as a French Bulldog named Precious and a German Shepherd called Tank.
In June, Katie’s protection dog Blade was hit by a car – less than a year after her dog Sharon was killed on the same road.
A year earlier, a delivery driver hit her Alsatian, Queenie, and in 2020 a second Alsatian, Sparkle, was hit by a car after escaping her home.
Months later, her French Bulldog Rolo suffocated after being squashed underneath a chair and Katie has given away an out-of-control Alsatian, Bear, for being violent towards other animals.
