Last month, Stillwater Animal Welfare (SAW) rescuers apprehended two dogs that were seen running through the busy streets of Oklahoma City.
It’s not unusual for SAW social workers to save numerous dogs at once, but they are used to seeing rescued stray pups become self-sufficient.
The staff quickly realized that these two had a special bond in this situation.
The gang greeted the two with open arms and gave them the names Bonnie and Clyde. They refused to be separated from each other, even in the shelter.
“They spent their stay in the same kennel together, where they seemed pretty close,” Jerkes told me even now.
When they were temporarily separated on the adoption floor, the two closest friends were excited to see each other again.
“When we gave them time outside, they would just run together,” Jerkes explained at the time.
Bonnie quickly found herself alone at the shelter, while Clyde was adopted by a kind family.
The devastated girl immediately missed her closest friend and began to lose faith that her happily ever after would come true.
Fortunately, her goal was achieved ahead of schedule. “It was published on Friday and someone arrived first thing Monday morning to adopt her,” Jerkes continued.
Bonnie finally found the perfect home and couldn’t be happier.
“She’s already adjusting!” Brayden Routh, Bonnie’s new mother, left a comment on Facebook. “She will have the best life, full of adventures with her big sister in blue heels.”
Bonnie’s adoption was just a few days ago, but her new family adores her like she’s been there forever.
Bonnie will always have fond memories of her brother Clyde, but she looks forward to the adventures that await her.
