Several fans shared their appreciation for Zendaya and Holland’s decision to adopt a furry friend from Oakland Animal Services in a Reddit thread.
“Ooh I also have a dog from the Oakland shelter, stars they’re just like us,” wrote a commenter.
“Look, I know parasocial relationships are weird AF but they are just so kind and I wish them so much success and happiness! I’m rooting so hard for them,” added another.
“I got my sweet girl from there too! They are an awesome organization and any publicity that helps the pups is amazing!” shared a different person.
“Oakland animal shelter has brought the most wonderful little friends into my life, and I’ll always hold a special spot in my heart for them. Good choice for the Zen-Hollands!” commented a Reddit user.
“I love them even more 🐶,” chimed in a fifth fan.
In a December 2025 interview with LADibble, Holland revealed that he didn’t ask Zendaya before bringing home the pup.
“I bought a dog the other day and did not run it by my girlfriend at all. I seem to remember running it by her – but I didn’t because I’m really spontaneous,” said Holland.
According to Holland, Zendaya ended up having a “fine” reaction to his big decision. (Just a quick disclaimer: results may vary, especially if you aren’t as charming as Holland and Zendaya.)
Holland and Zendaya also share a 10-year-old mini schnauzer named Noon.
