The 38-year-old actress says she would rather be a mother to a new puppy than go through with the real thing, reported People magazine.
"We got a puppy, and that's my idea of starting a family. People say, 'Oh, that's practice for parenting,' but if it's practice for anything it's to be a mom to another puppy," the actress said.
"We've decided that we are not really interested in having children."
Hendricks has been married to Geoffrey Arend since 2009 and although she is nearly in her 40's, the actress still doesn't feel broody.
