In order to get four puppies and their mother to the United States, the athlete spent an additional month to assist in finding them homes. She also contributed to raising awareness of the condition of the stray dogs in Sochi. Kenworthy himself took in two of the animals. He then made a cameo on American Horror Story in 2019.
