Unwanted Pit Bulls Comforting Each Other

Some pups create bonds so strong that they become inseparable.

Often, pups develop a pair bond to a sibling or other pup that they’ve spent significant time with. But pair bonds can develop without the pups having grown up together.

Such is the case for the two pit bulls Jukebox and Agatha, arrived separately to the Pima Animal Care Center in Tuscon, Arizona. Soon they developed a very special bond to each other. The beautiful stray called Jukebox arrived at the shelter first. One month later sweet Agatha was brought to the shelter.

They were both sad, anxious and lonely, but that was about to change. The pups soon met in a playgroup a the shelter. They very quickly developed a clear pair bond.

Living at a shelter can be very stressful for some pups, and both Jukebox and Agatha were struggling with anxiety. But now that they had each other to draw strength and comfort from. They found that there was nothing they couldn’t handle together.

After the shelter staff realized the extent of Agatha’s and Jukebox’s bond, they knew that there was no way they could separate the pups. They were like to two halves that would never feel whole without their missing piece.

The lovable duo was moved to a single kennel where they enjoyed snuggling up to each other.They even insisted on sharing the same bed. When they had each other for support, their bond was also a bit risky.

It’s often more difficult to find a family who’s willing to adopt two dogs at once than finding someone to adopt a single dog. Sadly, both their beautiful bond and their breed was making them undesirable for many potential adopters.

But separating the two dogs was simply not an option. Their bond touched countless people and everyone hoped that the adorable pair would find a great family. It only took a few weeks. A family decided that Agatha and Jukebox would be a perfect addition to their family.

Their new mom and dad, Erin and Ubaldo, love their new little family members from the bottom of their hearts. They are amazed by the pups’ sweet and gentle personalities.

Both Agatha and Jukebox quickly settled into their new home and has brought love and happiness to each other and their new family ever since.
