RICHMOND, Va. — Officials at a Richmond animal shelter said they have had “ZERO interest” after they put out the call last weekend for a forever family for two dogs that need to be adopted together.
Richmond Animal Care and Control (RACC) officials posted Friday that they “just don’t understand why” there has been no interest in the bonded pair.
“They are the sweetest and cutest pair you will ever see,” RACC officials wrote.
The shelter posted last Sunday that female pit bulls, 4-year-old Who Goes There and 1-year-old Hi, It’s Me, “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.
Officials said the younger pup has been acting as a seeing-eye dog for the older animal.
“It will just about break your heart with love to see them together,” officials wrote. “These girls love each other.”
As a result, shelter staffers are looking for a home for both dogs and someone “game to” manage a blind dog.
