2023 wasn’t the best year for the Sutter family. Ryan continued to battle Lyme disease after years of being misidiagnosed.

The family also lost one of their most beloved family members in October when their dog Sophie unexpectedly passed away during surgery. Bachelor Nation fans sent their support, especially to a heartbroken Ryan Sutter.

However, the family began the new year by adding a new furry friend to their family. Trista Sutter took to her Instagram Story to share all about their latest addition.

The new pup named Kota is a rescue. The Bachelorette star tagged the Lightshine Canine rescue. According to their website, Lightshine rescues dogs from reservations in South Dakota.

She also shared that Sophie was also adopted through that rescue. Trista further revealed that Kota came from the Rosebud reservation, which she called “fitting.”

The former reality star shared several snapshots of her new four-legged friend.
