Where Are The Most Famous Real Housewives Pets Today?

Since Bravo dropped the first episode of the show in 2006 featuring housewives of Orange County, "The Real Housewives" (RH) franchise has lured in viewers from all over the world. Fans can't get enough of the lavish lifestyles, absurdity, and of course, the catfights and other scenes of drama. The pets of these affluent women have also captivated audiences over the years, which has left many viewers wondering about their whereabouts today. Here's a hint: some are still living their best posh lives.

Marley, Archie, Coco — the list of RH dogs among the highest-earning celebrity pets goes on and on. Of course, who could forget the modish Gigolo Vanderpump from the Beverly Hills series or the Catania dog quad from the New Jersey series? With more than a dozen dogs featured in the franchise's 19-year history, many dog lovers have their favorites, and for different reasons. However, unless you follow your favorite RHs on social media, you might not know the latest on these socialites' famous pooches. Here are the latest deets on five famous RH pets, according to Instagram.

The world met Archie in 2016, when "The Real Housewives of Orange County" cast member Shannon Beador adopted him. Since then, the golden retriever has made numerous appearances on the show and has even been the focus of multiple storylines, including the 2022 incident in which he faced a few health scares.

Throughout his time on the show, he's collected hundreds of fans, many of which shared their praise for him on social media. One viewer posted on Reddit, "Why is Archie the Best?" Followers agreed, with one saying, "He really is the best thing to come out of OC in years." Another commented on his unwavering loyalty and love and how he's "always down to party with Shannon."

Although Archie gave Shannon and others another scare in June of 2024 after he was bitten on the nose by another dog, he made a full recovery. Shannon's most recent Instagram post of him from February 2025 shows him in good spirits, posing for a pic with his mom while enjoying a walk on a sunny day. Both he and Shannon are expected to join the other "RHOC" cast members for the 19th season.

Coined by Bravo as "the most stylish dog in BH," Giggy made quite an impression on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," alongside his famous restaurateur mom, Lisa Vanderpump. The fluffy-faced Pomeranian quickly became an iconic figure as Lisa's adorable sidekick after sporting designer outfits, which viewers learned were to cover his bald spots caused by chronic canine alopecia (hair loss). Throughout Lisa's time on the show from 2010-2019, Giggy regularly showed up in her mother's arms, whether it was crashing a dinner party or just hanging out at home.

Lisa received the canine fashionista as a birthday gift in 2009, unaware of all the lives — human and canine — he would change. His fame led to the creation of his own X account, a cameo on "Dancing with the Stars," and other public appearances. Giggy, coupled with Lisa's and her husband's love for dogs, also inspired the couple to establish a rescue organization in 2016 to help dogs in need. They called it The Vanderpump Dog Foundation.

Sadly, Giggy crossed the Rainbow Bridge in December of 2020, after battling several health issues. Lisa shared the tragic news on her Instagram. "Our sweet Gigolo was such an incredible, unique dog," her post read. She also credited him as the inspiration for the rescue foundation. "Giggy's legacy will live on, through every dog @vanderpumpdogs saves. Rest in peace, Giggy. We love you."

In 2010, the Big Apple's housewives welcomed Sonja Morgan and later, her floppy-eared miniature poodles, Millou and Marley, to the show, where she appeared as a cast member until 2017. Sonja told K9 Magazine she gave Millou his name because he had short legs as a puppy and "looked like he had just come out of a meatloaf tin." Sadly, Millou passed away in 2011. He was 18. Sonja honored his memory in a "RHONY" episode that aired in 2014 by holding a funeral and tossing his ashes in a river. Sonja described him as "the greatest dog," one that "loved life."

Sonja named Marley after Ziggy and Bob Marley. Viewers on social media noted that he seemed more attached to Sonja after Millou's passing. "In every scene of Sonja at her home, Marley is always right beside her, making similar facial expressions," a fan on Reddit posted. "It's actually really cute and funny to watch." Marley continued to comfort Morgan on the show until their final episode.

As with many other RH dogs, Marley has his own Instagram and has collected more than 4,800 followers. Morgan's 2025 posts on her own Instagram indicate that the precious poodle is still alive and well; he celebrated his 14th birthday in May of 2024 and enjoyed some fun in the snow in February 2025. On March 18, 2025, Morgan shared a clip from "RHONY" with the caption, "Just me and Marley and the perfect lazy day vibes."

Dolores Catania joined the cast of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" in 2016. As an animal lover with a passion for rescue, she shared her home with four dogs: a pair of rescued pit bulls named Lolli and Lulu, a Chihuahua named Dog, and a mixed breed named Raz. The canine quartet delighted fans, not just on the show, but on social media as well, where Dolores has shared dozens of photos of them enjoying life over the years. However, her Instagram includes no recent pics of her pups, and there have been no public reports of sad news, so fans have assumed they're all still with us.

Dolores' latest Instagram dog post dates back to February 2024 and features Dog in a backpack. She also shared a time-lapse video and photo on Instagram on Christmas day in 2023 that shows more than half a dozen dogs. However, the only two that appear to be part of the original RH quartet are Dog and Raz. It's known that Lulu, one of the pitties, often misbehaves and has to be kept separate from the other dogs. This may be the reason she doesn't appear in any of her recent posts. The reason for Lolli's absence in recent posts is also uncertain.

The first season of "Real Housewives of New York" aired with Ramona Singer as part of the cast in 2008. Throughout her 13 seasons on the show, fans got to meet her four-legged friend, Coco, a Shih Tzu. From warming Ramona's lap to accompanying her to the hair salon on the show, she was everything a woman could ask for in a friend.

Unfortunately, though, in October 2021 — the same year Ramona's final season aired — Coco passed away at the age of 17. Ramona thought of the pooch as another child, as she revealed in her Instagram tribute. "She was truly a family member and my sidekick on RHONY," her post read. "Coco brought so much joy to us over the years and will be incredibly missed."

The enchanting pup made an impact on Ramona's daughter as well; she left a tribute of her own on social media, where she expressed her gratitude for all the memories they shared. "I will miss bringing you around in your stroller, purse, and sitting with me at the table," her post said. "I hope you will have unlimited Parmesan cheese. We all love you so much." Even with the loss of some of RH's iconic pets, their tales, and wagging tails, will live on in our hearts.
