One scroll through Lara Spencer's Instagram will show you that even though she's a busy mom of two who's always juggling multiple projects all the time, she always makes time for her special, four-legged family members, and is especially thankful to have them around during the pandemic we've been living through since 2020. On her very low-key Thanksgiving last year, Spencer posted a picture of her, her husband, and two of their dogs, writing, "A very different Thanksgiving than the usual 18 person beautiful mayhem. Miss you guys and wish all of you happiness and health today and always."

Spencer is also a huge advocate for adopting and rescuing animals, rather than purchasing them from breeders or pet stores. Most of her Instagram pics of her and her pups feature the hashtag #adoptdontshop, and her dogs have even been featured on episodes of Good Morning America in the past!

You can catch more of Lara Spencer on the premiere of her new HGTV series, Everything But The House, on March 19.
