**COTSWOLDS, UK** – Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are grieving the loss of their beloved dog, Augie, just months after relocating from Montecito, California, to their new $18 million estate in the Cotswolds. De Rossi shared the news of Augie’s passing on Instagram, revealing that they rescued the dog 12 years ago. “We had to say goodbye to Augie yesterday,” DeGeneres wrote. “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 loss of Augie, who frequently appeared on *The Ellen DeGeneres Show*, has prompted an outpouring of condolences from fans, friends, and organizations like PETA.
Despite their grief, DeGeneres recently returned to social media, sharing a pre-recorded promotional video for her skincare brand, Kind Science, featuring Augie. She thanked fans for their kind messages and clarified the video was filmed before Augie’s passing. The post also drew attention to DeGeneres’ new look, sporting darker, browner hair. Fans have flooded the comments section with compliments on her new style.
The move to the UK and the purchase of their sprawling Cotswolds property, which they secured after a brief house hunt, marks a new chapter for DeGeneres and de Rossi. They have maintained a relatively low profile since relocating, following in the footsteps of other celebrities like Rosie O’Donnell, who has also made the move across the Atlantic.
