Does Liza Minnelli Have Any Pets?

Blaze and Friends (Dog)

Breed: Miniature Schnauzer

Known for her love of Miniature Schnauzers, Liza Minnelli had three back in 2014. The Oscar-winning actress suffered a fall at home due to her enthusiastic pets, leading to a broken lower back. While lifting her dogs, she twisted and fell. Initially downplaying the incident, an X-ray confirmed the seriousness of her condition. Speaking to the New York Post’s Page Six, Liza disclosed that spinal fusion surgery was necessary. The accident made her miss her friend Joan Rivers’ funeral, leaving her deeply disappointed and bedridden.

In January 2022, one of the Schnauzers, Blaze, passed away.
