A Potential Adopter
Merrill was just 3 years old and so it was quite easy for her to get interested adopters to ask about her. It was a different case for Taco. Merrill is a pit bull mix, active and beautiful so it was very easy for her to get people when they posted her pictures online.
Love At First Sight
So in the end, there was a person who came looking for a dog to adopt to give it a forever home. As soon as he met Merrill, he felt like it was love at first sight and was sure she was the dog for him. He was unaware of the little chihuahua friend who goes everywhere she goes.
What Now?
When he came to Rocket Dog Rescue, he was willing to adopt Merrill on the spot, wasting no time. Even the shelter was excited to see that she may have found a happy home. After signing the paperwork and did all that needed to be done, he went to release her from her cage.
Protesting
When he opened the cage, there lay the two dogs, Taco and Merrill. When he took her out of the cage, they two dogs started crying hysterically. The man did not know anything about the bond they shared so all he could do was give the volunteers a look of disbelief. He was indeed surprised.
A Good Heart
Merrill then showed her attachment towards Taco the Chihuahua and started to whimper uncontrollably. It was clear from this that Taco and Merrill could not leave each other at all. The only thing that the shelter could do now, was to explain to the man about their connection.
Won’t Be The Reason
This man did not want to be the one to cause such a heartbreak to the dogs by separating them. He was sure that in order to save anyone from a heartache, the two dogs would have to be adopted together. So was he able to take them together and give them a loving home?
