Now that's puppy love! Nina Dobrev introduces her cute new fur baby Mrs Maverick (who already has her own Instagram account)

She ran a couple of exercise classes for the Reebok Classic event at La Quinta in Indio to help 'detox and retox' during the Coachella music festival at the weekend.

And Nina Dobrev couldn't resist bringing her new fur baby, Mrs. Maverick, along with her to make her public debut.

The cute little rescue pup is thought to be half Border Collie and half Aussie Shepherd but, as Maverick explained herself on her own Instagram page on Tuesday, 'I guess we won't know for sure until we get a DNA test.'

Nina, 28, looked pretty cute, too, as she showed off her rock hard abs in a black and white cropped exercise bra and skin-tight black leggings that matched the colouring of her darling pooch, who she hugged.

The Vampire Diaries alum first posted a snap of her pup on Instagram three days ago, captioned 'Meet Maverick,' adding a little red bow filter in her fur.

She followed that up on Wednesday with an Instagram video captioned 'our first encounter' showing Maverick and her brother Goose joyfully wriggling and jumping all over her as she sat on the floor.

So cute: 'Meet Maverick,' the 28-year-old captioned this shot she posted three days ago. Mrs M posted the same selfie as she introduced herself in a long caption on her Instagram account

' I'm being attacked, send help!' Nina pleaded, only half joking. 

Meanwhile the Mrs Maverick introduced herself properly on Instagram with a selfie and a very long caption, saying: 'Hi. My name is Maverick Do(g)brev. I like long walks on the beach and candle lit dinners in doggie bowls. 

'I have a brother named Goose and we're both 9 weeks old. We stayed at this hotel called @the_pet_care_foundation for a little while, and it wasn't too bad, but I'm SO much happier where I am now. I have a yard, and toys, and a new mommy.

Cuddling up: Maverick is nine-weeks-old and has a brother Goose (pictured) who is still up for adoption but is currently being fostered by Nina's friend

'Don't tell her I said this, but I find it strange she has no fur anywhere except for her head. But she always rubs my tummy and showers me with love, so her lack of hair doesn't bother me too much. 

'Goose and I still get to play all the time since my auntie @cheeklane fostered him until he finds a forever home, so that's cool too. I'm really hoping someone in their friend circle keeps him so we can continue to hang out because I love him very much.

'Mommy said that if it wasn't for @puppyluvla she wouldn't have found me, so I'd like to send a special Wuff Wuff to them. And to @the_pet_care_foundation for sheltering us until mommy came to rescue us. We appreciated all the food you gave us while we stayed with you.

 Rough and tumble:  ' I'm being attacked, send help!' Nina pleaded, only half joking as the pair jumped all over her

Getting a little nippy: Nina didn't stop playing with the rambunctious pups even after they took a few bites out of the star

'Anyway, mom's calling, she doesn't love it when I'm on social media too much, especially when it's so sunny and beautiful out.. she says I need to get more vitamin D. Whatever that is.

'She's already trying to teach me tricks, and I love to impress her, so I'm going to go show her how smart I am. I'll take some videos so you can see how smart I am too. Did I mention I'm super smart? Oh, and I'm the cutest puppy in the world. That's what my mommy says. Puppy Love, Maverick.'

No news on whether Maverick has met Nina's reported new beau, actor Orlando Bloom, who she hung out with Coachella.
