AceShowbiz - Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jason Tartick have welcomed a new family member just in time for Christmas. On Sunday, December 8, the Bachelor Nation couple have taken to their individual Instagram accounts to reveal that they have brought home their second golden retriever puppy.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS TO US," declared Kaitlyn as she introduced Pinot to her followers. "Ramen has a new brother. MEET PINOT." She went on to dish that the pup "was found in a kill shelter in South Korea" before being saved by San Diego-based nonprofit organization Bunny's Buddies. "Now he has a safe home with us," she assured.
Since she and Jason have had another dog in their house, the 34-year-old admitted that she "was so worried how Ramen would react." She, however, soon found out that her concern was groundless. "You will see through my stories that these pups took to each other RIGHT away. They snuggle, and don't leave each other's side," she spilled.
Describing Pinot as "a big mushy sweet heart who is some how more cuddly than Ramen", "The Bachelor" alum continued to address concern how they will do this with traveling so much. "We will make it work," she vowed. "This isn't about us. This is about giving a sweet innocent pup a new life. We will continue to do what we do, and just do it with 2 instead of 1."
On the same day, her boyfriend Jason also made use of his social media account to disclose that Pinot came from "the exact same kill shelter as Ramen". He went on to highlight the work done by Bunny's Buddies. "As devastating as it is, dogs put in these Kill Shelters have only 10 days to be rescued," he noted. "The work @bunnysbuddies does is absolutely incredible and has changed Ramen & Pinot's lives, as well are ours."
Pinot's adoption story was also shared in the Instagram page of Bunny's Buddies. "I sent Kaitlin a photo of Pinot a few weeks back because he reminded me so much of Ramen and it was instant love," read a caption of Kaitlyn and Jason's photo with their fur babies. "Jason texted me right away and said he wanted to surprise Kaitlyn with him so I said, let's do it. This was a HARD secret to keep, not only from Kaitlyn but from the World too as these two are unbearably cute and truly best friends. So so happy for all!"
Kaitlyn and Jason started dating in January. By May, she announced that the former banker plans to move to Nashville to be with her. In June, the pair adopted Ramen whom she claimed to have been found on the streets with broken legs.
