Actor Millie Bobby Brown is known for her role as Eleven in Stranger Things, as well as the titular character in the Netflix movie franchise Enola Holmes. But while she has made a name for herself by acting, there's a cause much closer to her heart. Since 2022, Brown has been living on a farm in Georgia, where she launched an animal rescue organization called Joey’s Friends.

The actor and her five-person team rescue dogs from local kill shelters and foster them until they can find them a forever home. “Our primary focus is on rescue animals, particularly dogs, and providing them with a safe haven during their transitional period,” reads Joey's Friends' website. “We understand that many of these creatures have endured unimaginable hardships, and we are dedicated to being the bridge between their painful pasts and the bright, loving futures they so rightfully deserve.”

The actor has taken on her duties with great responsibility, as she has been studying human services and veterinary studies at Purdue University. “I’m able to treat wounds, take their pulse, moderate blood pressure, things like that. I do all their medical records myself,” Brown told Vanity Fair. “Now I just have to do my externship, which is like sitting in on surgeries and things like that. Adoption campaigns [on social media] are wonderful temporarily, but you really have to get in there and do the work to make a difference.”
