Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky welcomed a new family member this week. The Spanish actress, 48, posted to Instagram on Saturday to share the exciting news that she and Chris, 41, had a new dog. The animal, a German Shepherd, comes from Capaill Coloured Shepherds, a breeder based in Queensland.
The company promises: 'We breed solid, healthy, purebred German Shepherds in delicious colors'. The average price for this breed averages between $3,500 and $4,000 based on estimates online. Elsa shared a series of images of the adorable puppy, as well as a few with the mother of three cuddling up with the new family member.

However, she was soon hit with backlash from her fans and animal rescue groups alike for choosing to buy from a breeder rather than adopt from a shelter. 'What rescue was he adopted from as surely you wouldn't have purchased off a breeder!!!!' one angry fan asked in her comments on Instagram.
'Dog lovers make it our business to spread the word of the RIGHT thing to do. Adopt, Always!!!' another said. 'Adopt. Buying is taking away a dog's chance in a cage,' said someone else. 'Elsa adopt, do not accept kennel, or breed dogs' one more detractor chimed in below the images.
