Does Shannon Beador Have Any Pets?

Shannon Beador has two rescued Golden Retrievers.

Archie

Breed: Golden Retriever | Adopted 2016
Rescued

Shannon Beador has a rescue Golden Retriever named Archie. She adopted the pup in 2016 after a fan tweeted a photo of Archie asking if anyone was able to take him in. While Archie has lived a life of luxury, he’s also had his challenges.

Archie goes missing

In November 2021, he went missing from her home, but luckily he was found by a neighbor. Archie also suffers from immune and skin conditions but has also been doing well in spite of them over the last couple of years.

In September, Shannon Beador was arrested for a DUI hit-and-run. Beador crashed her car into the side of a house. She then pretended she was walking Archie to through off witnesses. Beador suffered minor injuries and Archie was fine after the accident. The Newport Beach Police animal control unit also confirmed Archie was fine.

Golden Retriever

Breed: Golden Retriever | Adopted May 2025
Rescued

In May 2025, Shannon Beador adopted a Golden Retriever brother for her dog Archie. Beador hadn’t named the pup yet when she posted about him, so we’ll have to wait until she updates us. She didn’t explicitly say if the pup is a rescue, but considering he’s an adult dog and Archie was also a rescue, we’d put our money on her adopting.
