Oh daddies!

New dads alert! Gus Kenworthy and his boyfriend just made a major announcement

This just in: Gus Kenworthy and his boyfriend Matt are doggy daddies… again!

In a new Instagram post, Gus explains that he and Matt have adopted another pup, just a two months after losing their beloved Beemo.

The guys rescued Beemo from a dog meat farm in South Korea during the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang. Sadly, less than six months later, she entered doggy Heaven after it was discovered she was born with an enlarged heart.

In an Instagram post published yesterday, Gus explains, “The day Matt and I visited the horrifying dog meat farm in South Korea we witnessed a mother dog giving birth to a litter of pups.”

They ended up saving Beemo that day, but they stayed in touch with the Humane Society International.

“After Beemo passed away I was feeling completely empty and I reached back out to the Humane Society International to find out what happened to that litter,” Gus continues.

He learned the puppies were still in South Korea awaiting their forever homes. After working out some logistics, Gus arranged to adopt one of the dogs from that little. This week, she arrived in Washington, D.C.

“She’s a 5-month-old Jindo/Lab mix and we named her Birdie (because birds were one of Beemo’s favorite things in the world),” Gus says.

“Nothing in the world could ever replace Beemo or the love that we felt and still feel for her,” he continues, “but Birdie has already stolen a new place in our hearts and we’re excited to be dog dads again.”

And now, without further ado, heeeere’s Birdie…

The day Matt and I visited the horrifying dog meat farm in South Korea we witnessed a mother dog giving birth to a litter of pups. The people at @hsiglobal told us that had they not been there filming my visit nobody would've seen the pups immediately and they likely would've died in the brutal cold. Luckily though I saw them and they were rushed inside and saved. A few weeks later when all 90 of the dogs on that farm (including Beemo) were flown to North America that mother and her newborn litter were the only ones that stayed behind because the pups were too young to travel. After Beemo passed away I was feeling completely empty and I reached back out to the Humane Society International to find out what happened to that litter. I found out that they were still in Korea and I began getting photo and video updates on them as I waited for another farm closure and an opportunity for them to be brought to the States. That finally happened and four days ago I picked this little girl up in DC. She's a 5-month-old Jindo/ Lab mix and we named her Birdie (because birds were one of Beemo's favorite things in the world). Nothing in the world could ever replace Beemo or the love that we felt and still feel for her but Birdie has already stolen a new place in our hearts and we're excited to be dog dads again. A HUGE thank you goes out to @hsiglobal for bringing our new baby home and for all they do for animals in need around the world (follow them and support their cause). Also an immense amount of gratitude goes to @awlaarlington for taking care of Birdie in DC until I could fly there to pick her up! I am going to continue Beemo's Instagram with pupdates on Birdie. I was nervous that would seem disrespectful to Beemo's memory but I actually LOVE the idea that both of my beautiful little girls will share the page. Also, a huge part of the reason I started Beemo's page in the first place was to continue promoting rescue animals and raise awareness for the dog meat trade and since the page already has a following I thought it'd be more impactful to keep it going rather than start all over again. @b_pups #DogsAreFriendsNotFood #AdoptDontShop ?????????? ??
