Welcome to the family! George Clooney and wife Amal adopt cute basset hound named Millie from an animal shelter

George and Amal Clooney have a new addition to their family - a cute basset hound mix named Millie.

The happy couple adopted the four-year-old rescue pup from San Gabriel Valley Humane Society shelter on Wednesday. 

Millie was found homeless and begging for scraps outside a restaurant earlier this month, and was taken in by the shelter.

Be a style star in Amal's printed dress by Emanuel Ungaro

She might have just adopted a basset hound with hubby George, but we went barking mad for Amal Clooney’s dress of choice for the momentous occasion.

The human rights lawyer has become quite the fashion star in recent months, so it seemed fitting for her to sport a starry print dress from Emanuel Ungaro’s Pre-Fall 2015 collection which she wore with a casual elegance.

The multi-colored star print mini dress is the perfect daytime number but will look sensational with a pair of killer heels and a statement lip for your next big shindig. We particularly love the black pleated insert on the side, putting a futuristic touch on the busy-printed creation.

So you'll be pleased to know that Amal's dress is available to buy online in a similar green colorway, so snap it up from Farfetch with a click to the right.

If you're loving the style but not the price tag, head to the edit below where you'll find our top alternatives from the likes of Asos, Mara Hoffman and more.

We'd style ours with everything from flat loafers and blazer to stilettos and big coats all autumn/winter long.

According to the website, George, 54, and Amal, 37, 'were searching for a basset hound and saw Millie’s picture on Petfinder'.

The actor and the barrister also have a cocker spaniel named Louie - another rescue - and they made sure that the two pooches got along before making the adoption official.

'They did a "meet and greet" with her and spent time introducing her to their other rescue,' the shelter's website states.

'It was good news that Millie and Louie hit it off and the happy, new family headed home together!'

George has made no secret of his love of animals over the years, and is also a pet parent to a cocker spaniel mix named Einstein.  

The senior dog - who the actor says has 'a beautiful life' - features in the newly released book My Old Dog: Rescued Pets With Remarkable Second Acts.

George adopted Einstein in 2010, and had been nervous that the pooch wouldn't take to him during their first meeting.

'I start to panic that Einstein is not going to like me,' he previously admitted to Esquire. 'So I run into the kitchen, where I have these turkey meatballs, and I rub them all over my shoes.

'Who knew Einstein was such a food wh**e on top of everything? He throws himself at my feet.'

George has also admitted he had a pet pig named Max who died at the age of 18 in 2006.

The A-lister, who has been busy promoting his new movie Our Brand Is Crisis with Sandra Bullock, celebrated his first wedding anniversary with Amal last month.

He can also be seen in Coen Brothers movie Hail, Caeser! and thriller Money Monster, both of which are due for release next year.
