Rescue Dog and Goat Best Friends Secure a Permanent Home Together at N.C. Shelter
We often witness remarkable and incredible connections. Some friendships are so strong that they go beyond any differences. Picture a dog and a goat forming a special bond, enjoying happy moments, and looking out for each other.
Cinnamon the goat and Felix the dog have formed an unbreakable friendship at Wake County Animal Shelter.
The Wake County Government in North Carolina shared that Cinnamon and Felix arrived at the shelter on March 13 due to their owner’s inability to provide care.
Their strong connection manifested in every aspect of their lives. Dogs and goats rarely form bonds like this, making their friendship quite exceptional. A Facebook post states, “They are best buds and are truly bonded; they even sleep together and have been kept together 24/7 except when they eat,”
Recognizing the special bond between them, the shelter quickly set out on a mission to find a forever home that would welcome both Cinnamon and Felix.
Dr. Jennifer Federico, who leads the Wake County Animal Shelter, highlighted the unique friendship between Cinnamon and Felix. Normally, dogs might act aggressively towards goats, but this pair is an extraordinary exception.
“It shows things are possible and they don’t see the difference,” he said.
Cinnamon and Felix were inseparable, clearly forming a close bond, and it was evident that they had to find a new home that could welcome them together. Although it was an unusual circumstance, the shelter was committed to keeping them as a pair and not separating them.
Dr. Federico added, “Whatever the reason for these two bonding, it’s clear what would be best for their well-being is to keep them together.”
Fortunately, a solution was discovered to make sure Cinnamon and Felix could stay together. The Wake County Animal Shelter gave an update, announcing that a rescue had come forward to adopt the inseparable pair.
This wonderful development ensures that Cinnamon and Felix, the close buddies, won’t have to worry about being split up after their joint rescue. The special bond between these unlikely friends will keep growing in their new home.
This story serves as a heartwarming reminder of the lasting strength of friendship, even between different species.
