With over 2.1 million followers, Marnie is a celebrity in her own right. But that doesn't stop the 15-year-old Shih Tzu from getting starstruck and snapping a selfie when she meets fellow famous friends. Still, her life hasn't always been glam. Marnie was placed in an animal shelter after being rescued from the streets of Connecticut in 2012. She was adopted four months later at age 11--and she's been living it up ever since. Marnie's chilled with everyone from Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato to Neil Patrick Harris and Anderson Cooper. She frequently advocates for senior dog adoption, and loves walking and parties in her free time. Her only major dislike? Being alone.

Any holiday that celebrates man's (and women's) best friend is OK in our book, but one that also promotes adopting baby furballs in need? Now that gets our attention. In addition to celebrating the magical canine creatures in our lives, National Puppy Day encourages dog adoption and aims to educate people about horrific conditions at the puppy-mills where many pet store pups are bred. So in honor of the holiday--which was founded by pet and home lifestyle expert Colleen Paige in 2006--we're celebrating 11 Insta-famous dogs who were adopted into their forever homes. Scroll down for their success stories, and visit nationalpuppyday.com for more information about how to adopt.
