Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield have adopted a new dog together.

The couple - who met on the set of 'The Amazing Spiderman' movie and have been dating for more than a year - welcomed home a two-year-old golden retriever called Ren in recent days after falling in love with her at a Los Angeles rescue shelter.

A source close to the couple told People.com: 'She was one of the dogs they first saw, but they weren't sure. They left and they couldn't stop thinking about her, so they came back for her. And it's true love.'

The couple officially adopted the purebred pet on Christmas Eve (24.12.12) after they initially brought her home last Saturday (22.12.12) on a trial basis.

The British actor, 29, was spotted walking Ren for the first time on Monday and the source said he and 'Easy A' star Emma are already besotted with her.

The insider said: 'She won the doggie lottery. They totally fell in love with her.'

The couple were first spotted looking for a new dog together in a Beverly Hills pet store last Friday (21.12.12).

The 24-year-old actress and her boyfriend spent more than an hour browsing dogs in a shop called Spot but were undecided about which one to take home and left empty handed.

Emma already has a small black and white dog of her own.

The couple has already made one big purchase together this year, a new home.

They reportedly splashed out a plush new $2.5 million house in Beverly Hills, California last month.

The four-bedroom property is said to be located in one of the most exclusive gated communities in the area and was once owned by the late actor Dudley Moore.

Emma already owns a black and white dog but this is believed to be their first pet together.
