A deaf Dog and Partially Blind Dog Become Best Friends then Get Adopted Together !!!

Eve and Dillon are two dogs with disabilities who found each other at a shelter. Photo: Marley's Mutts Dog Rescue/Facebook Two abandoned dogs - one completely deaf and the other completely blind - have a happy ending together thanks to a rescue in California and their adopter. Eve, a deaf and partially blind Catahoula Leopard Dog mix, was found as a puppy in a snow drift and brought to Marley's Mutts Dog Rescue last year. A few months later, the shelter rescued Dillon, a blind Border Collie cross. When the two were introduced to one another, something magical happened. Marley's Mutts described on their Facebook page how Eve and Dillon came to their rescue and how they immediately connected with one another. "Eve – a partially blind and completely deaf Catahoula mix – came to us when she was found by a Bear Valley mail carrier as a nine week old pup, nearly frozen, on Christmas Eve. Meanwhile, a couple of months ago we rescued Dillon, a completely blind Border Collie mix, who had been dropped off at a boarding facility in Lancaster and never reclaimed by his owners." "Here were these two unique dogs, each significantly disabled, between whom we soon witnessed an amazing relationship unfolding. It turned out they were disabled in ways that complimented one another. They immediately bonded, quite literally becoming one another’s guide dogs. Dillon soothed Eve’s anxiousness. Eve gave Dillon a sense of purpose. Watching Dillon and Eve play can only be described as magical. We prayed that somehow they would be adopted together. And just recently, they were." Photo: Marley's Mutts Dog Rescue/Facebook The rescue admitted "it would be an undeniable miracle if they could be adopted together" but a miracle is what happened earlier this month when the pair found a forever home. Shelly Scudder had seen Eve's photo after a co-worker showed her a picture on Marley’s Mutts' Facebook page. A few days later she told herself she had to meet the dog. A meeting was arranged and Dillon was also brought along. Shelly fell in love with them and decided to adopt the pair. She told ABC KERO, "I think they’re going to enjoy their lives together here." Marley's Mutts is thrilled that the pair have found a loving home together. "They are perfect for one another in the way they watch out for one another" Zach Skow, executive director of Marley's Mutts  said. "Each has never been more at ease than when they are together.” Learn more about Marley's Mutts Dog Rescue on their Facebook page and website.
