Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez adopt puppy

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber have taken a big step in their relationship -- they have adopted a dog together.

While in Canada on tour, Gomez headed to an animal rescue shelter in Winnipeg, D'Arcy's ARC, with boyfriend Bieber in tow Friday.

"I was told that [Gomez] was missing the dogs that she has at home," the shelter's CEO told People. "I wasn't expecting her to adopt a dog while she was on tour."

But after playing with the shelter's pups for an hour, Gomez and Bieber just couldn't leave without one. They decided on a 10-week-old husky mix, who they named Baylor. Gomez was photographed in London, Ontario, yesterday holding the dog and wearing a Baylor University sweatshirt.

Last night, Selena tweeted another photo of herself in bed with Baylor. "After 12 hours of medicine, tea, 1374 cans of soup and throwing up right when I get off stage ending my night with Baylor watching friends is perfect," she wrote.

Looks like the little guy is already a part of the family. Gomez apparently has five more shelter dogs at home.
