Charlize Theron is encouraging people to turn to crowded shelters when they want to adopt a new pet. On Tuesday the actress shared images of the four dogs she has rescued over the years and explained why animals are so important to her. “A little known fact about me: As a kid growing up on a farm in rural South Africa, my only friends were animals,” she wrote in the caption.

And if you think she’s kidding, she made it clear she isn’t, “I‘m not kidding, my best friend was my goat, Bok.” A post shared by Charlize Theron (@charlizeafrica)Unfortunately goats aren’t usually lease friendly. “Once I moved to the US, it became clear that I couldn’t move my pet goat into a NYC apartment,” she wrote.
