January Jones reveals her dog is in the animal hospital after getting bit by a rattle snake

January Jones is ‘praying’ for her dog Vinny after the pooch was bit by a rattle snake on Wednesday morning.

The actress, 43, revealed on her Instagram account that her pooch was now at the animal hospital after an encounter with the rattler.

Posting a photo of the cold-blooded reptile to her account, January revealed, ‘This baby rattler bit my lil Vinny this morning. I caught and released it but praying for my pup who’s in the hospital now.’

She also shared a photo of her furry black dog, presumably taken prior to the incident, as he sat upon the floor wearing a red vest. 

Vinny appears to be one of two dogs owned by January.

In addition to Vinny, January owns a fluffy cream pooch named Joey, who makes occasional appearances on Instagram alongside his brother.

On top of caring for two dogs, January is also raising nine-year-old son Xander.

For personal reasons, January has never publicly revealed the identity of his father.

She talked about his birth in an interview with Red magazine in 2017, saying: ‘My younger sisters and my mom and my doula were in the room; my brother-in-law and my dad were next door.

‘I only wanted women with me,’ the celebrity said, adding, ‘it was a 30-hour process but it was awesome. I’d love to do it again.’

January has been raising Xander as a single mother, and does not feel the urge to be in a relationship. 

‘I just don’t feel I need a partner,’ she recently told Red Magazine.   

Outside of quarantining at home with her son and furry friends, January has remained a presence on the small screen.

After ending The Last Man On Earth in 2018, January continued her run on small screens with appearances in the Netflix shows The Politician and Spinning Out.

Next, she will star opposite Jamie Foxx and Maika Monroe in the crime drama God Is A Bullet.
