“Welcome to our family Dixie!” Simpson captioned the sweet snap.

The puppy appeared to be a maltipoo, the same breed as Simpson’s beloved dog Daisy, who was nabbed by a wild coyote in 2009 and never found.

At the time, the mom of two also offered a reward to anyone who could reunite her with her 5-year-old caramel-colored pup. “Daisy was her baby,” a source previously told PEOPLE when Simpson lost her dog. “It’s going to put her into a tailspin. It will put her into the worst place ever.”

After receiving Daisy from her then-husband Nick Lachey in 2004, Simpson and the maltipoo became inseparable.
