Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi mourning death of beloved rescue dog The former talk show host and her wife's beloved Beagle-Chihuahua mix, Augie, sadly passed away on May 15 Ellen DeGeneres (Image: PA ) Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are mourning the loss of their rescue dog. The former talk show host and her wife's beloved Beagle-Chihuahua mix, Augie, sadly passed away on May 15. The couple took in the pooch more than a decade ago. Sharing a series of photographs of Augie chilling around their home, Ellen wrote on Instagram on May 16: "We had to say goodbye to Augie yesterday. We rescued him 12 years ago and he was so grateful. "He gave us so much love. He will be missed. There will never be another like him." The couple's devastating loss comes after they relocated to the English countryside after 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' backlash. Article continues below The pair bought a property in the Cotswolds after being spotted at The Farmer's Dog - a pub owned by Clarkson's Farm' host Jeremy Clarkson. Ellen hosted the last episode of her long-running TV talk-show in May 2022. Prior to that, Portia quit acting to focus her attention on General Public, the art curation and publishing company that she owns. In December, Ellen denied a report suggesting her farmhouse had flooded. The MailOnline suggested the 67-year-old comic's Cotswolds estate was badly affected by the severe weather in the south west of England as Storm Bert brought torrential rain and winds up to 80mph to parts of the country, but Ellen poured cold water on the speculation. The six-bedroom property boasts 43-acres of land, and it was claimed that a stream flowing into the Thames River alongside the property burst its banks. The outlet quoted a neighbour as saying: "The flood waters are rising by the hour. This is the worst I have seen it in years." However, Ellen insisted all was well. To mark 20 years since she started dating "beautiful soul" Portia, 52, Ellen shared a selfie of the pair in the English countryside and wrote: "20 years ago today we began this relationship not realizing what a long beautiful adventure this would be. You are the best thing that ever happened in my life. You take care of me. You help me see the good in everything. Article continues below "You help to guide me and pick me up when I feel off or down. You are a beautiful soul that I am so very grateful to have as a partner to navigate this crazy life with. (sic)" Ellen concluded her post by addressing the flood rumours, writing: "P.S. for those of you concerned, our U.K. farmhouse did NOT flood." According to TMZ, the couple decided to move to the UK after president-elect Donald Trump won the 2024 US presidential election.

Ellen DeGeneres suffers heartbreaking loss after leaving Hollywood
Ellen DeGeneres recently suffered a heartbreaking loss after fleeing Hollywood for a quieter life in the English countryside following her toxic workplace scandal. Last week, the former talk show host, 67, revealed on Instagram that her and her wife Portia de Rossi's beloved rescue dog Augie recently died. DeGeneres rescued the pooch more than a decade ago and he was one of three dogs owned by the celebrity couple, who have been married since 2008. 'We had to say goodbye to Augie yesterday,' DeGeneres — who recently debuted a new look — announced on Friday, May 16. 'We rescued him 12 years ago and he was so grateful. He gave us so much love. He will be missed. There will never be another like him.' Along with her heartfelt words, DeGeneres shared a slideshow of photos of Augie, a Beagle-Chihuahua mix, taken through the years. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Several of the snaps showed the tiny dog cuddling with Portia or sunning outside at the sprawling $32 million Montecito mansion that DeGeneres offloaded in 2024. Days later, DeGeneres returned to Instagram to thank her 136million followers for their 'kind messages.' She also uploaded a never before seen video of herself and Portia with Augie that was recorded just weeks before his death. The video showed the senior dog sleeping peacefully in Portia's lap as DeGeneres spoke about her skincare line, Kind Science By Ellen. 'Thank you for all of your kind messages about Augie,' the star wrote. 'We filmed this last month and planned to post it today. 'I don't care what Portia says, please don't call me the Deal Queen. We love you, Augie.' Portia has yet to publicly comment on Augie's death but the Arrested Development star, 52, is not active on social media like DeGeneres. The couple, who do not have children together, have been proud dog parents for many years. 'We had to say goodbye to Augie yesterday,' DeGeneres announced on Friday, May 16 DeGeneres rescued the pooch more than a decade ago and he was one of three dogs owned by the celebrity couple Along with Augie, they own a Poodle-Maltese mix named Kid and a purebred Poodle named Mrs. Wallis Browning. Back in 2023, DeGeneres shared photos of Augie, Kid and Mrs. Wallis Browning in honor of National Pet Day. She captioned the post: 'Happy #NationalPetDay to this crew,' and added a heart emoji. Along with their dogs, DeGeneres and her actress wife also have two tuxedo cats named George and Chairman. Back in 2020, their pet brood became smaller following the loss of both Charlie the cat and Wolf the dog. DeGeneres is a well-known animal lover and even has a line of pet toys, beds, dresses, tees, tank tops, and sweatshirts called ED by Ellen DeGeneres. However it appears the line, which was sold at PetSmart, is no longer in production. DeGeneres' recent family tragedy comes two weeks after she shocked fans by debuting a brand new hairstyle — after decades of rocking a blonde pixie cut. She did so by sharing footage of herself mowing the grass at her and Portia's new home in the English country side. In the clip, DeGeneres sat on top of a yellow mower and revealed that she has ditched her signature blonde locks for a brunette shade. The star could be seen steering the mower through a large field as a layer of gray clouds filled the sky. Text was added towards the bottom of the reel which read, 'How it started.' The video then cut to Ellen being assisted by an individual after the machine seemingly broke down on a steep hill. The clip concluded as more text popped up onto the screen which said, 'How it ended.' The comedian also penned in the caption: 'Portia thought it would be fun to film my first time on the mower. She was right.' The couple moved to the U.K. following Donald Trump's presidential win late last year in November. They were recently forced to relocate to a different property near Oxfordshire after their Cotswolds home suffered severe flooding shortly after moving in. DeGeneres previously gave fans a rare look at her new life in England to her 136 million followers. Last month in April, she snapped a photo while standing behind Portia as they looked out at the scenic view of the countryside and a double rainbow following a rainfall. '3 things that make me happy: My Wife A Rainbow And my wife taking a photograph of a Rainbow,' she wrote. Back in 2020, DeGeneres was embroiled in controversy after being accused of creating a toxic work environment - and later issued an apology. After nearly two decades of being on the air, The Ellen Degeneres Show also came to an end just two years later in 2022. She previously told The Hollywood Reporter, 'I have to just trust that whatever happened during that time, which was obviously very, very difficult, happened for a reason. 'I think that I learned a lot, and there were some things that came up that I was shocked and surprised by. It was eye-opening, but I just trust that that had to happen.' She stepped in front of the camera once again for her 2024 Netflix special titled Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval. However upon its release, the project garnered mainly mixed to negative reviews and garnered a score of 33% on Rotten Tomatoes. A few months earlier in March of this year, Ellen took the big step of listing her Montecito property for $4,995,000. Less than two weeks later, the star's home sold for over the asking price at $5.2 million. People reported at the time that the two-bedroom, two-bathroom abode quickly went into escrow after receiving 'multiple offers within two days of hitting the market.' And back in January, Ellen and Portia had put an additional Montecito property on the market for $29.9 million. The couple opted to move into an $18 million house in the Cotswolds area in the U.K. late last year. The reason the pair chose to relocate to the British countryside rather than Portia's home country of Australia was soon revealed. A source explained to New Idea, 'Ellen wants to continue with her comedy work, and there is a huge scene in Britain. 'Sitting back and chilling on a beach in Australia is for when she's ready to retire and Ellen's not there yet.' But after the move, their six-bedroom Cotswolds home was met with severe flooding due to Storm Bert. An insider informed MailOnline, 'Ellen and Portia have had several issues with the place they initially moved into. 'First there was the flooding, of course, then there was an issue with some locals complaining about some building work carried out at the property.' DeGeneres and Portia have since moved to a different property which is only a 30 minute drive from the original home that they had bought. A source recently told 'The house is a real Grand Designs number - and it's plain that Ellen and Portia are loving it.' They added, 'Everything has been done very discreetly so it's not clear what the terms of the deal was but it seems that it has recently changed hands for not much less than they paid for their previous place. 'To buy two properties for eight figure sums in the space of a few months really is unusual, even given the many multi-millionaires around here.' The source continued, 'And at even a conservative estimate it must have cost Ellen hundreds of thousands of pounds in fees and costs to change her mind so dramatically - perhaps millions.'
