Oprah Winfrey has a new puppy!
The talk show host and her longtime beau, Stedman Graham, adopted an 8-week-old blonde-colored cocker spaniel on Sunday, the rep for PAWS Chicago shelter, Lisa Nowak, confirms to Usmagazine.com.
"[The dog] is really cute," Nowak tells Us. "Oprah saw her and fell in love with her! She was very excited."
The pup -- one of a litter of six -- was named Amanda by shelter staff, but Nowak isn't sure if Winfrey renamed her.
Winfrey's two cocker spaniels, Sophie and Solomon, died last year. Her golden retriever, Gracie, choked to death on a plastic ball in 2007.
She still has two golden retrievers, Luke and Layla.
The host vowed to adopt her next pooch after dedicating a show to puppy mill horrors. She also donated money in Sophie's name for a room at PAWS Chicago.
"She's very supportive," Nowak says. "It's great to have her in."
