Travis Barker's daughter Alabama, 19, welcomes adorable new member of her family amid Bhad Bhabie feud
Travis Barker 's daughter Alabama Barker has welcomed a new member to her family. The daughter of beauty queen Shanna Moakler, 50, has adopted an adorable French Bulldog. She showcased the new puppy in two sweet photos posted to her Instagram Stories. In one photo she snuggled the sweet dog to her neck and captioned it, 'Good morning!! My baby.' In the other photo, the puppy laid on its back exposing its little belly to the camera. 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. She didn't mention in her post if she had settled on a name for the cute dog yet. She captioned a since-deleted video, '@pawznclawzfrenchies @stone_highland_frenchies THANK YOU SO MUCH! I love my baby.' It's fitting that Alabama would choose to adopt a Frenchie over other breeds, as her dad Travis has already owned at least five of the snubbed-nosed dogs. In addition to Alabama, Travis also shares sons Landon, 21, and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 26, with Shanna, as well as son Rocky Barker, 18 months, with wife Kourtney Kardashian. In 2022, Alabama shared her devastation when her family's beloved dog Blue passed away. 'You will never understand how much you helped me on my darkest days,' she wrote on her Instagram Story at the time. 'You slept next to me, the way I would throw your ball and you would run with excitement, or the eyes you had that just touched everybody, I'll never forget you my baby.' She added that Blue will 'have the most amazing time up in doggy heaven,' and added, 'Until we meet again my love.' In March, the teenager debuted her new boyfriend, UCLA football player Scooter Jackson. The athlete used to be at Utah Tech but only recently transferred to Los Angeles. I This comes after the blonde pinup shared she had received six dozen off-white roses for Valentine's Day from a suitor. This follows a strange time for Alabama after some drama with another star. In February, Bhad Bhabie released a track called Ms. Whitman that dragged Alabama, the Kardashians and her dad Travis into the feud. The title of the song Ms. Whitman refers to the 1993 film True Romance and the character Alabama Whitman, whom Alabama was actually named after. The intro of the song features a sample of Kim Kardashian's ex-husband Kanye West's song Carnival. And she takes it another step further by bringing up the long-standing rumor that her stepmom Kourtney began dating Travis after he was rejected by Kim. Bhabie, born Danielle Bregoli, also rapped about Alabama being 'kicked out of the Kardashian house' for having a 'stanky p****.' The feud ignited in December after Bhabie accused Alabama of being a homewrecker and stealing her now-ex Le Vaughn, which she has since denied. After the music video and song dropped, Alabama took to her stories to react, sharing a selfie with a cryptic message implying she was releasing a retaliation rap track. In a since-deleted post from December, Bhabie wrote: '@alabamaluellabarker took my man.' She also posted emojis of a melting face as well as a boxing glove. In a follow-up post, she added: 'I told him next time I catch you. You gon be with them!' Then, she declared that she was 'single' in a one-worded post. Barker later addressed the claims on her own Instagram account and said that she had 'no interest' in Vaughn. She also said that it was Le Vaughn who has been contacting her and 'confessing his feelings' for her for nearly a year. In a lengthy post, she wrote: 'I want to be clear: I have no interest in this man, nor would I ever lower myself to be with someone who has been physically abusive towards women.' She said that after learning that he was in a relationship with Bregoli, she 'apologized multiple times' to the rapper - who welcomed daughter Kali Love with Le Vaughn last year.

West Yorkshire dog waits 200 days for forever home
A dog described as a "bundle of fun" has been waiting more than 200 days for his forever home after receiving barely any applications for adoption, the RSPCA are hoping to find Cooper, a two-year-old lurcher, new owners after receiving care from RSPCA Halifax, Huddersfield, Bradford & District Branch since who was rescued after being found living in unsuitable conditions and kept outside, was adopted in February but returned after one day and there has been no interest since Spencer, from the branch, said she did not understand why Cooper has had "such little interest" as he "loves everyone he meets". She said: "He's an adventurous dog who loves going on walks and would appreciate a fairly active family."Cooper loves to play with his toys especially playing chase and tug. He's very clever and is learning lots every day through scent work games which the staff have been really enjoying playing with him as he's so much fun."This lovely lurcher loves to spend time zooming around in our enclosed paddock. "After his tea in the evening he likes to curl up on his bed and settle down for the night."She added he had a "bit of a tough start in life" so they were looking to find him a "reliable, loving home who will give him the second chance at happiness we know he deserves". The RSPCA said Cooper, who is fully housetrained, could be rehomed to families with children aged 12 years old or older and would prefer not to live with any other dogs, cats or small furry pets such as rabbits or guinea pigs. Listen to highlights from West Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, catch up with the latest episode of Look North.

Reach Rescue resale shop in Chicago suburbs helps fund medical needs of dogs and cats
A Chicago area animal rescue is giving dogs a second chance and shoppers a treasure hunt. At Reach Rescue's resale shop in northwest suburban Mundelein, your next bargain could help save a pet's life. The shop sells upscale items at bargain prices; including furniture, antiques, and even rare collectibles. "All of the funds that come into the resale shop by the purchases are what fund the medical for our dogs, the upkeep of our dogs, and everything that you see in here has been donated to us by amazing people," said Reach Rescue vice president and director Amanda Dziekanski. Many items come from estate sales, with the profits helping dogs like 6-year-old Elvira. "She came from a bad situation. She was terribly matted. She had to be completely shaved down. We've gotten all her medical done. She'd had several teeth pulled, and dental," Dziekanski said. Right next to the resale shop is the Reach Rescue adoption center, where you can meet all the available pets. "On the dog side, their whole life is taking care of the dogs, and that's just wonderful," said 6-year volunteer Linda Foulkes. Foulkes said donations at Reach Rescue are not only generous, but many times surprising. "We had an Australian birthing dish … aboriginal. It was worth about $2,000, and we marked it at a few hundred dollars, because who's going to buy it?" she said. It's not all resale gold. Some treasures come with four legs and a whole lot of love, like Elvira, who was recently adopted. "We read her story, and we just thought we would be a good home for her," said adopter Bella "She's the sweetest thing, and I think she's going to fit in just fine," said adopter Dylan While Elvira has found her forever home, others wait, like 2-year-old Oreo Cookie. "Unfortunately, the people that had her were incarcerated and couldn't keep her," one Reach Rescue staffer said. Volunteers said, once you adopt from Reach Rescue, you always come back. "I adopted another dog 13 years ago from here, and he was the best dog ever. So when he passed away last year, I knew where I was coming," said one woman who recently adopted terrier mix Rook. Donate, shop and adopt; there's plenty of dogs and cats waiting for their forever homes at Reach Rescue. Reach Rescue's resale shop is open Tuesday through Saturday. The adoption center is open by appointment on weekdays. Every Saturday, they hold an adoption event from noon until 4 p.m. For more information head to

Detroit animal rescue group begins coloring page promotion featuring adoptable dogs
Adoptable dogs at Detroit Animal Care and Control are now depicted in coloring pages to help get the attention of those who wish to pick one as their pet. The program, Color Me Adopted, uses artificial intelligence technology to redesign photos of the animals into black and white drawings in the style of coloring book pages. "The hope is that the overwhelming cuteness of these portraits will inspire people to come to DACC to meet and adopt the dogs," the announcement said. Friends of Detroit Animal Care and Control is a Detroit-based, 100% volunteer-run, nonprofit organization. The group explained in a statement posted May 13 that the organization no longer has liability insurance because Friends of DACC was named in a lawsuit. "We want to clarify that the dog involved in this litigation was never in FoDACC's care programming, and we were not involved in its placement or management. FoDACC is working to reinstate our insurance from this technicality and resolve the litigation," the notice said. While those who wish to adopt a dog still can visit the DACC facility at 1431 E. Ferry Street, the circumstances have throttled many promotional efforts. This includes its traditional series of offsite adoption events, Detroit Dogventures and Storytimes. The agency currently has 300 dogs either housed in its Ferry Street shelter or in previously contracted foster settings. "The Color Me Adopted initiative is just one of the ways the organization is helping to get the adorable faces of the amazing dogs at DACC get out into the world and to encourage adoptions at DACC. The group has also increased social media marketing, videos of dogs, and other ways to raise awareness," the agency said. To participate in the coloring page project, go to select one or more of the black and white images to download. Then color the image and share your designs with others. "Hand them out to family and friends; post at your office, school, or church; and post to your social media channels - anything that will help bring attention to the adorable dogs available at DACC," the press release said.
