Did you know that Major (a 4-year-old german shepherd), adopted by the Bidens in 2018, was the first shelter dog to live in the White House? Adopted from the Delaware Humane Association, Major’s stay at the White House proved to be a bit too overwhelming for the pup who was sent to live with family friends in December to be in a more relaxing environment after careful consideration.<\/p>\n

However, two new pets have recently moved in, Commander (a 5-month-old german shepherd) and Willow (a 2-year-old tabby cat). Willow previously lived on a farm where she met the Biden family in Willow Grove, PA. After interacting with Willow during a campaign speech in Dr. Biden’s hometown, the family later adopted her!

Bush’s cat, India.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
