Puppy and Kitten Are Best Friends and Both Rescues

Meet Ruggles and Chompers, two tiny friends who have each experienced hardship early in life.

Ruggles is a Shih Tzu who was rescued from a puppy mill bust.  Chompers the kitten was found abandoned under a porch when she was only two days old. When these two met, they immediately became fast friends.

Both have been adopted into loving homes.

 

Ruggles is now an official ambassador for the Cherokee County Animal Shelter, the shelter that rescued him from the puppy mill. He and his pet parent visit schools to educate kids on puppy mills and shelter dogs.

UPDATE: For those wondering why they were not adopted together… that was the shelter’s original plan, but Chompers (true to her name!) became too rough with little Ruggles, and due to his health problems, it was determined that it was in both of the animals’ best interest to be adopted separately.
