Top 5 Celebrity Pet Scandals - Vanessa Williams

Published December 15, 2008

Dog: A Yorkie named Enzo

Fun Facts: Vanessa is a supporter of the Animal Haven Shelter in Soho, NY and helped to launch their Bring Pets Home Microchipping Initiative in October 2007, a few months after her own pet scandal occurred. She has four children who all help out with their pet responsibilities.

Scandal: Vanessa William's Yorkshire Terrier, Enzo, was stolen from the fenced in yard of her suburban New York home on Memorial day, 2007 fueling rumors of a celebrity dog-napper. Earlier in the day Vanessa had seen a suspicious van driving by her house, but police suggested a hungry coyote had gotten to Enzo instead. Thankfully, Vanessa's dog had been implanted with a microchip called HomeAgain that helps reunite lost pets with their owners. Vanessa was so distraught over her pup's disappearance, she enlisted the help of a psychic to find out whether he was still alive or not. Little Enzo was located all the way in Connecticut by a veterinarian who scanned the pooch and found the microchip ID. Microchipping is quickly becoming an important way for helping pet owners find their lost pets. A veterinarian can insert the chip in pets of all sizes during an office visit. Cats can also be tagged!

Her dog is so cute, no homo but Vanessa Williams is pretty, just like that dog. I am a HUGE and BIG #1 Vanessa Williams fan. I'm mad her and Rick Fox couldn't stay together, they look like the perfect couple. I have a dog myself. But she is a Shi Tuz. I wish I could meet her in person. Whooooooo.I am a very very very very BIG fan of Vanessa Williams. I listen 2 her music everyday. I luv that movie she was in My Brother, it was just sad when she died, but besides that it was a great movie. Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Go Vanessa Williams.
