Fur babies do have feelings and they do bond — Don’t ever forget that people.

Imagine that type of love. The love those two dogs have for one another that some people in life dream of ever having, and the love the foster had for them to become a foster failure, twice.

It was 3:47 AM when the rescue coordinator’s voice cracked through my phone. I’d picked up Mochi earlier that day—a sweet, cream-colored Pittie with the softest ears I’d ever touched. Standard foster. Two weeks, maybe three, until she found her forever home.

The coordinator said: Her sister is [de.str.oyi.ng] our intake kennel, She hasn’t stopped [s.cre.ami.ng] since Mochi left. We’ve tried everything. Blankets with her scent. Kongs. Thunder vests. She [b.ro.ke] a tooth trying to chew through the gate.

I looked down at Mochi, who was sleeping at the foot of my bed. Except… she wasn’t really sleeping. Her eyes were open. Staring at the door. Waiting.
I drove to the shelter at 4 AM in my pajamas.

Matcha was a [di.sas.ter]. Hoarse from [s.cre.ami.ng], paws raw from [pa.cing], trembling so hard she could barely stand. The second she smelled Mochi in my car, she collapsed against the crate and went completely still. Like she could finally breathe.

I’m not crying you are😭

They said: Just foster them together for a few days, Until we figure out placement.
That was eight months ago.

They sleep in a pile every night. They eat from the same bowl even though I bought two. When Mochi goes to the vet, Matcha comes. When Matcha gets groomed, Mochi waits in the lobby.
I was supposed to be their temporary stop. Turns out, I was their destination.

Moral of the story is if you’re going to adopt one and it comes with two you should take both not just one and separate the pair it’s important for their survival.

Two very blessed dogs right there- maybe you rescued each other you get props for selflessness and figuring out these two needed each other to feel whole ~ lovely.♥️♥️♥️
You are their blessing. God sent an earth angel to keep together His wingless angels.🙏🙏🙏
