Hale, who has used her platform to raise awareness about the lack of pet-friendly options available for those looking to leave abusive situations, previously opened up to PEOPLE about her enduring love for her dog Elvis.
"I did all of quarantine alone, so I honestly don't know what I would've done without Elvis. He kept me company and kept me sane," she said last October of the maltipoo.
