The Stranger Things star would also present the adorable pooch alongside longtime animal advocate Beth Stern, wife of legendary radio star Howard Stern.

The actress and model (born Beth Ostrosky), 51, stunned in a red patterned dress with spaghetti straps that she paired with a pair of gold pumps.

She also held up a bob haircut as she posed for photographers, her blonde locks flowing down her right shoulder, styled with a parting on the right side.

That same year, she launched a personal Instagram account, and soon after began using it primarily to facilitate animal adoptions.
