Jodie (Dog)
Growing up in a home full of pets, Ryan Eggold’s affinity for animals, particularly dogs, was cultivated early on. “My parents were animal lovers,” Eggold reminisces, sharing anecdotes about the family’s assortment of pets, which included everything from dogs to a pet snake and a rat. However, it was Bucks, their first family dog, a shelter rescue, that left a lasting impression on him.
This love for dogs ultimately led Eggold to adopt a Staffordshire terrier, Jodie, from a shelter. Beyond his personal life, Eggold is a committed advocate for animal rights.
He lends his voice to Clear The Shelters™/Desocupar Los Albergues®, a nationwide pet adoption initiative led by NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations. When he asks, “how can I help?” it’s not just talk. Eggold actively contributes to the cause, demonstrating his passionate commitment to animal welfare. His dedication shows that he’s not just an advocate, but a beacon for those who cannot speak for themselves.
