"She calls on my cell with no Caller ID and says, 'Hey Shannon, this is Meghan.'" Shannon shared that they spoke for 30 minutes and she at first thought she was talking to the actress Mehan Fox.Mia arrived at the shelter with eight of her newborn puppies, and Meghan and Harry both visited her after hours where they played with the dogs before making their decision.
Animal-lover Meghan has adopted a number of rescue dogs over the past few years and brought her American rescue beagle Guy to the UK when she married Harry.When she moved to England to be with Harry she had to leave Bogart – a Labrador-shepherd mix – in the US. Meghan often used the #adoptdontshop hashtag in her Instagram posts.Harry previously shared a story about how the Queen's dogs fell in love with Meghan as soon as they met her.
In their engagement interview in 2017, Harry revealed the Queen’s corgis and dorgis took to Meghan"straight away," joking:"I’ve spent the last 33 years being barked at; this one walks in, absolutely nothing... just wagging tails and I was just like, 'argh'."2
