Shelter Canine ‘Best Friends’ Unknowingly Enjoy Last Day Out Together

Living in a shelter can be hard for animals but these two pit bull terriers have managed to make the best out of a bad situation.

Moon Pie and Clipper, both two years old, have been joined at the hip for the past six months in Lifeline Animal Project, an intake shelter for stray dogs in Atlanta, Georgia.

Recently, Connor Abdo, an animal welfare advocate, treated the “best friends” to a day on November 5 and captured all of their fun on camera.

“The shelter is a very stressful environment for the dogs so having a friend is really helpful,” Abdo told Newsweek.

From making friends with strangers to slurping a puppuccino, Abdo said, “they had the best day ever.”

The video was uploaded to Abdo’s dog supply business, @salvation_bark, on TikTok, where shelters receive a donation of half the proceeds.

During the video, the pair can barely contain their excitement as they smile while riding in the back of Abdo’s car. It soon becomes clear that they weren’t shy and are willing to greet everyone they meet.

“They are the definition of you can’t judge a book by its cover. They are both big softies who love kisses, other dogs, and playing,” Abdo said.

However, the video has a bittersweet twist because it’s the final time the tan and white dog, Clipper, will play with Moon Pie, as he has since been adopted.

“It is sad for Moon Pie that his friend is gone but we are confident he will be adopted soon. It is difficult to find an adopter willing to take both dogs though.

“Moon Pie would thrive in any environment. He’d love a dog friend,” Abdo said.

So far, the clip has over 6,000 views and more than 1,000 likes along with plenty of comments.

One user said: “I’m a volunteer and I do this for all the long term dogs at a local shelter. They needed that much needed break from the shelter. So thank you!!!”

Another pointed out: “They seem so well behaved!”

“Such softies who just need love,” said another person.

Another said: “I hope they find forever homes soon.”

Recently, a shelter volunteer showed the reality of living in a shelter for one dog who is yet to be adopted after 1,058 days. But dreams do come true, as proven by Nova, a dog who has finally found a loving family to call her own after more than two years in a shelter.

In the heartwarming tale of rescue, renewal, and unyielding hope, a sinking dog’s hopeless wish comes true, inspiring us all with the power of compassion and determination.

After a dog fell down a deep hole, she swam in circles for hours, anxiously hoping for help. She eventually grew so fatigued and weak that she couldn’t swim any more, and that’s when she was discovered.

A local eventually discovered the unfortunate dog anxiously hanging to the well’s side and phoned Animal Aid Unlimited, hoping for assistance. The rescue team went out to find her, but when they arrived, it appeared like the poor dog had given up hope.

She appeared disheartened, leaning against the well’s wall, until she heard a noise above and lifted her head.

When she realized that relief had arrived, the fatigued dog collected all of her remaining power and began swimming in circles, overjoyed to see her rescuers.

As a rescuer was lowered down the well, the beautiful dog continued to swim around and around. She happily greeted him and then allowed him place her in a net.

The rescuers above then began carefully lifting the net up to safety, till she was finally secure in their arms.

Rescuers rushed the adorable dog to the vet to ensure she wasn’t wounded, then gave her plenty of room to recuperate and lots of love and hugs, which she gratefully embraced. The unfortunate dog would have drowned if it hadn’t been for the wonderful rescuers. She seemed to have recognized this and is obviously thankful to them for sparing her life.
