Andy Cohen gives update on dog Wacha after rehoming over ‘behavioral issues’: ‘It’s a heartbreaker’

Andy Cohen has had some good times with his rescue dog Wacha over the past seven years.

But the Emmy winner recently had to find a new home for the beagle-foxhound mix, following some ‘behavioral issues.’

He gave an update Monday on Wacha and his new home, where it sounds like he’s living out just as happy of a life and still getting to go on walks with Andy.

The 52-year-old said on his SiriusXM channel Radio Andy: ‘I don’t think I have to tell you guys how much I love Wacha, I mean that kind of speaks for itself.

‘But something happened with Wacha, the day actually we were taping the Below Deck reunion. It was not great and I don’t really care to go into it.’

He revealed that the dog spent a month with expert dog trainer Brandon McMillan before he had to make the tough decision.

Andy consulted Brandon, as well as some trusted friends and family, including Lisa Vanderpump and Beth Ostrosky.

He spoked to ‘basically, everyone I respect who is involved in the animal rescue field and who has known about my journey with Wacha. And it was the unanimous view that I should find a very happy home for him.’

The Watch What Happens Live host continued: ‘Brandon was like, “Andy, if something happens, you are going to have to put him down.”

‘”How will you be able to live with yourself if you kept him in the home and then something happened with you and [one-year-old son] Ben and then you had to put him down?”‘

He assured that ‘Wacha is happy’ living with friend Sherman, with whom he’d leave the dog when he had to go out of town in recent years.

The Real Housewives executive producer still gets to see plenty of Wacha, adding: ‘I took him out for an hour walk, which is what I plan to do now, I plan to see him still. 

‘And the great thing is that, after he went back with Sherman, Sherman said there were no signs that he was depressed or feeling any kind of way.’

He also told his fans: ‘I just want to thank everybody who shared with me experiences that they had. It’s a heartbreaker.’

Andy broke the news late last month, posting a sweet video of himself reuniting with Wacha for one of their walks.
