Honey and Leon
Alan Cumming had two rescue dogs named Honey (Collie-Shepherd) and Leon (Chihuahua) that he shared with his husband Grant Shaffer. Both dogs were around four years old when they met, and together, they became a happy family. They have since passed away, but have been immortalized in a series of “Honey & Leon” children’s books.
Tonka
Tonka mysteriously disappeared in April 2022 and Alan Cumming teamed up with PETA in order to find the his former costar Chimpanzee. Tonka starred together in the 1997 family comedy, Buddy, which is based on the true-life story of Gertrude Lintz, a 1920s socialite who raised monkeys as part of her family. They have offered a $10,000 reward to find Tonka.
Lala
Alan Cumming adopted a street dog named Lala from Costa Rica in February 2016. She was found pregnant by a vet and after her pups were adopted, no one wanted to adopt her. That was until she met Alan, who took her back home to New York to live the life of a furry fashionista. Lala is also Cumming’ cohost on The Traitors and also made her late-night debut on The Tonight Show in March 2025.
Jerry
After Leon passed away, Alan Cumming adopted another Chihuahua who he named Jerry. Jerry sadly passed away in January 2024.
