Nicola Peltz steps away from dog charity linked to Beckham family fallout

Nicola Peltz is no longer involved with Yogi's House, the dog rescue charity she helped launch in 2022.

The Los Angeles-based non-profit, which rescues and rehabilitates dogs, now lists Emma Kenney as its only founder on its website. Nicola, who was previously described as a founding partner, is no longer mentioned. She has also unfollowed the charity on social media.

In a statement, Nicola did not explain why she left the organisation.

However, a spokesperson addressed the move in an exchange with the press. "Nicola is humbled by the work Yogi's House does to support dog welfare in California," the insider told Daily Mail.

"Nicola is proud to have been a founding partner of Yogi's House, and she's currently considering other opportunities to support dog welfare in any way possible. This is her true passion in life, and she will never give up on the dogs."

The development comes months after Nicola and husband Brooklyn Beckham's reported family rift made headlines.

Earlier this year, Brooklyn claimed one reason for their fallout with his parents was Victoria Beckham's alleged refusal to support a fundraiser for dogs affected by the Los Angeles wildfires.

Brooklyn said Nicola had asked Victoria to support the campaign, but she declined.

Nicola has long been outspoken about animal welfare. Last year, she and Brooklyn filed legal action against a dog groomer after claiming their Chihuahua, Nala, died after what they described as a routine grooming appointment.

She later said she wanted stronger protections for pets and promised to continue speaking up for animal welfare.

However, Nicola also faced criticism in 2024 after sharing a video showing one of her dogs with pink and orange dyed fur. The clip was later deleted, while animal welfare groups warned against treating pets as fashion accessories.
