Agatha and Jukebox are adorable pit bulls, and the way they hold and comfort each other shows the bond they share.
And what’s surprising more is the fact that they did not grow up with each other at all! They were raised in separate places and yet when they met at the shelter, it seemed they know each other for a long time.
Both the dogs came to the Pima Animal Care Center on separate occasions.
Agatha was surrendered by her owner while Jukebox was a stray. They are different in a lot of ways but when they met each other, it was so sweet to watch.
The dogs instantly connected and the people could not believe their eyes at the shelter. It was something they didn’t see before.
“Typically when a bonded pair of dogs come in the shelter, they’ve spent their whole life together,” Kristen Hassen-Auerbach, director of animal services, told The Dodo. “But with these two, they didn’t know each other. They met in a playgroup one day and from the second they laid eyes on each other they became inseparable.”
As both were newcomers in the shelter, they were trying to adjust in their temporary home. The shelter staff believes that being friends with each other helped both pups have a smooth transition from their previous lives.
“Despite the fact that they are living this life of confinement, which is super stressful on most dogs, they take so much comfort in each other’s presence,” Hassen-Auerbach further said.
They are inseparable and spend all their time together and love to snuggle when it’s light’s out.
“There’s plenty of space for them to stretch out,” Nikki Reck, public information officer for Pima Animal Care Center, told The Dodo, “but they share that tiny little bed together and that’s how they prefer it.”
“Typically we don’t say ‘these two have to be adopted together’ because that makes it take longer for them to find a home,” Nikki Reck said. “But with these two, we just can’t bring ourselves to split them up, so we’re hoping against hope that we can find a home for them together because the two of them are meant to be.”
