Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed

Ian Somerhalder and his girlfriend Nikki Reed have expanded their family yet again with another pet according to an Instagram picture Ian posted on Sunday afternoon (November 2). As of now, the couple have adopted three animals together — two cats and one horse. “The newest addition to the family. Her name is Sohalia. Thank you @iamnikkireed for finding us this amazing kid in Conyers Georgia,” Ian captioned the picture of them with the new addition. He continued to say: “Unfortunately this little kid was wildly mislabeled as ‘feral/not friendly,’ and had Nikki not gone in and opened her cage regardless, we would have never found out that she is the most loving kitty on the planet and she may have been put down. The point is this; because shelters are so understaffed, this happens more often than not. Let’s encourage the people who work at shelters and people whom make policies for shelter workers to take more time to get to know the animals that are brought in, so they can properly inform potential adopters. Also, if you are thinking about adding a new member to your family, know that there might be more to the animal than what’s written on their cage!!! Go have fun and adopt! Send me pictures please! Thank you- Love, Ian“ First comes love, then comes ... a horse? Ian Somerhalder and new girlfriend Nikki Reed recently adopted a horse together. “The Vampire Diaries” star shared a photo of their four-legged pal on Instagram Tuesday. “Proud new dad... What amazing creatures they are,” he wrote. “Wow. His name is Eagle. Thank you @iamnikkireed for snapping this special moment, with our big baby boy.” Somerhalder and Reed’s adoption of Eagle comes only a few weeks into their romance. The two were first seen hanging out together at a L.A. farmers’ market last month, and were also spotted holding hands at San Diego Comic-Con. Both are noted animal lovers
