One can meet the love of their life in the most unexpected of places — ask Agatha and Jukebox, two pit bulls now living at the Pima Animal Care Centerhttps://www.thedodo.com/videos/close-to-home/watch-bonded-shelter-dogs-wait-for-a-home?jwsource=cl in Tucson in Arizona.
The two dogs entered the shelter separately: Jukebox as a stray and Agatha as an owner surrender. But as soon as they found one another, their connection was unquestionable.
Both dogs had been struggling to adjust to shelter life, but their growing friendship quickly soothed any anxiety and depression. The two dogs now share a single kennel, which allows them to spend all their time together. They do not care much for personal space, preferring to snuggle on one cot when it’s time for lights out.
A photo of the two pups snuggled up together has recently gone viral after Reck posted it on Facebook. Shelter staffers hope that the attention on social media may help find Agatha and Jukebox a forever home — together.
It is a miracle that the two dogs met at all: Pima Animal Care Center takes in 17,000 animals per year and is currently housing more than 400 pups. With so many shelter dogs to care for, the sooner the deserving dogs can find a home, the better. Nevertheless, the shelter staff knows that taking on two large, energetic dogs isn’t for everyone.
