Standing by Her! Liam Gallagher Nabs PETA Award for Adopting Homeless Dog
London – With animal shelters across the UK and elsewhere reporting spiking numbers of animal abandonment cases and homeless cats and dogs – and as out-of-touch celebrities continue to purchase pedigrees – Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has earned PETA’s prestigious “Strike the Right Chord for Animals Award” by adopting an “amazing” mutt-in-need, named Buttons.
“Thanks for the Award. Rescuing Buttons has been the best decision we’ve ever made. She brings so much happiness to our lives and everyone she meets. We’re so lucky to have her,” says Liam Gallagher upon receiving the accolade. “We’re obsessed. I thoroughly recommend adopting a homeless dog.”

“Let there be love for this lovely pup and Liam, whose compassionate act for animals sets a wonderful example for his legions of fans,” says PETA Vice President of Programmes Elisa Allen. “PETA is delighted to recognise him for opening his heart and home to a dog who desperately needed a loving family, and PETA urges everyone to follow suit and adopt, never shop.”
PETA – whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to abuse in any way” – notes that every year, hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats end up in shelters, and many of them must be euthanised simply because there aren’t enough good homes for them. The group points out that life with an animal companion can be extremely rewarding, but it’s also a huge responsibility that takes time, resources, patience, and commitment.
Gallagher will receive a heartfelt letter of thanks and a framed certificate from PETA.
PETA – whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to abuse in any way” – opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview. For more information, please visit PETA.org.uk or follow the group on Facebook, X, TikTok, or Instagram.
