Recently adopted dog duo split apart when blind dachshund abandoned
RICHMOND, Va. – The happy tale of two dogs placed together for adoption – Blue Dozer and OJ, a blind dachshund — took a heartbreaking turn when OJ was found separated from his pal, about 100 miles away from where they were adopted in Richmond.
The pair were originally surrendered when their owner became homeless, according to posts by Richmond Animal Care and Control. A picture of the two animals went viral on social media and they were quickly adopted.
OJ., the elder of the two, relied on Blue Dozer and they would need to be adopted together, according to the posts.
Now OJ is being held by Shenandoah Valley Animal Services Center. How he came to be at the Staunton shelter is not certain. A representative with RACC, who declined to go on camera, said OJ was surrendered.
Heartless person who did this.
I think they’ll be ok, I mean, seriously?? The older one is lucky that no one put him to sleep.
CRUEL FRICKEN PEOPLE TO ABANDONED THE BLIND OG.
They should work to find the dachshund a home, one where there is another dog who would bond with the dog, time to move on. And make sure the pit is in a stable home, or take him back as well….if they can….
