RICHMOND, Va. — Officials at a Richmond animal shelter shared fantastic news earlier this week about two dogs: a younger pup who acts as a seeing-eye dog for an older animal.
The female pit bulls, 4-year-old Who Goes There and 1-year-old Hi, It’s Me, have been adopted, according to Richmond Animal Care and Control (RACC) officials.
RACC “Adoption interest is coming in now! Great job FB team,” shelter staff wrote Tuesday.
Then came the amazing news on Wednesday.
“We are THRILLED TO SHARE the girls were adopted today,” RACC officials wrote. “HOORAY, HOORAY, HOORAY! #weareyourcityshelter ♥️💗♥️”
That breakthrough comes after the shelter had “ZERO interest” after they put out the call earlier this month for a forever family for two dogs that need to be adopted together.
The shelter first posted on Sept. 1 that female pit bulls “came from a bad situation.”
“They were left in a crate in a car, covered in urine/fences and flies; Who Goes There had glaucoma so bad in her remaining eye (already blind) that we removed the painful nonworking one,” shelter officials said.
