Two shelter dogs can't live without each other and insist on being adopted together
Bonded pairs don't have to be a family - they can be a canine duo too. If you don't believe us, scroll down and see for yourself!
This is Merrill and Taco, a pit bull and a Chihuahua, who were surrendered to the Rocket Dog Rescue shelter in San Francisco. Although they are two different breeds, they have formed a close friendship and are inseparable. They were always together, did everything together and never let each other leave. When they were separated, they cried.
When the shelter staff and volunteers saw their bond, they realised that they could not live without each other and had to be adopted together. However, there are not many people willing to adopt the two.
They spread Taco and Merrill's story on social media in the hope of finding a family for the two. "These two love each other more than any other couple the shelter has ever seen. They cry when they leave each other's side. This dynamic duo has lost their family, their home, and now we can't let them lose each other!"
The story spread quickly and eventually found its way to a family in San Diego. They fell in love with Merrill and Taco and decided to take them both home. The family made sure the two dogs were always together and cared for. They promised to post photos of the two of them to let everyone know how they were doing.
Unfortunately, Taco passed away after three years with his new family. Although he left this world, he had a forever home and a wonderful life in his last three years.
"Yesterday was a very sad day for us. Taco passed away from us. He was a big personality in a small package. When we adopted him, we thought we would get one year. We got three. We are so happy he became part of our family.
