Best Friends Couldn’t Leave Each Other’s Side – They Had To Be Adopted Together

Best Friends Couldn't Leave Each Other's Side They Had To Be Adopted Together

Agatha and Jukebox are two pit bulls, who met on the streets, and never left each other’s side.

Rescued by a shelter together, they were waiting for a loving family to adopt them both together.

And it finally happened!

 

An Unbreakable Bond

Agatha and Jukebox likely found each other on the streets before being brought to the shelter together.

From the start, it was clear that their connection was extraordinary.

Despite having ample space in the shelter, they chose to share one small bed, an easy way for everyone to witness how close they were.

Whenever they were separated, they seemed lost without each other, searching and yearning for the other’s presence. Their bond was so strong that it moved everyone at the shelter.

“There’s space, but they wanted to share one little bed. When we separated them, they’d look for each other like they were lost” said Nikki Reck from Pima Animal Care Center.

The Challenge of Dual Adoption

Adopting two dogs together poses significant challenges.

And particularly when they are larger breeds like pit bulls, known for their daunting, though often misunderstood, reputation.

“With these two, we just couldn’t bring ourselves to split them up, so we were hoping against hope that we could find a home for them together because the two of them were meant to be.” shared Nikki.

Agatha and Jukebox had been at the shelter for a long time, waiting for someone to give them both a chance.

Despite the difficulty, the shelter staff remained committed to keeping them together, understanding the importance of their relationship.

 

The Perfect Match Arrives

The turning point came when a couple, touched by Agatha and Jukebox’s story online, decided they were ready to open their home to both dogs.

The couple, Erin a state worker and Ubaldo twice retired from a military career, felt their house was too quiet after the passing of their previous dog.

They hoped that Agatha and Jukebox could fill the void and “make us whole again.”

 

A New Beginning

With hearts full of hope, the shelter staff and the adoptive parents knew keeping Agatha and Jukebox together was the right decision.

The moment they were adopted, news spread like wildfire through the shelter, bringing joy and relief to all who had come to love these two dogs.

“When we see a pair get to spend the rest of their lives together like these two, it is everything. It’s everything that we’ve been working towards. It means that hard work to keep them together really did pay off,” Nikki Reck said to The Dodo.

The couple was eager to integrate Agatha and Jukebox into their home, anticipating the love and joy only pets can bring.

 

Settling Into Their Forever Home

Upon arriving at their new home, Agatha and Jukebox quickly adapted to their new environment, exploring every nook and corner with visible delight.

Their comfort in the home was instantaneous, from discovering all the treats to claiming the backyard as their own.

The couple lovingly prepared for their arrival, ensuring everything was in place to welcome them properly.

 

A Future Filled with Love

Now, fully settled into their forever home, Agatha and Jukebox have shown how loyal and loving they can be.

The couple notes that both dogs have already made themselves very comfortable, probably coming from their understanding that they are finally home, never to return to the shelter.

Each day, Agatha and Jukebox continue to show immense affection, not only to each other but to their new family.

“I think people can really learn a lot about unconditional love from these two dogs,” said their new adoptive mom Erin.
