An Odd Pair
In October 2014, a female Pitbull terrier, Merrill, and her male Chihuahua friend, Taco, were sent to the Rocket Dog Rescue Shelter. Nobody really knows why, but their owner dropped them off at the San Francisco animal shelter. The staff working at the shelter quickly realized that these two abandoned dogs were far from the ordinary. It was clear that they grew up together, but even the shelter staff was surprised by their bond.
The dogs refused to be apart, despite several attempts to split them. They obviously needed to be adopted together, so the staff was looking for a home that would want a Pitbull and Chihuahua. Unfortunately, it seemed impossible, and the dogs needed to be separated to find homes.
