Adopted littermates reunite after both return to SC shelter. They need new homes
Two adopted littermates returned to a South Carolina shelter, leading to a heartwarming reunion.
Now, the dog brother and sister both wait for new homes.
“After nearly a year apart, Daisy and Koda saw each other again,” the Greenville Humane Society wrote Oct. 13 on Facebook. “We wish you could’ve seen it — the sniffing, the tail wags, the way they just knew. Now, brother and sister are waiting once again for their real happy endings. They don’t have to go home together — what we want most is for each of them to find a home that lasts forever this time.”
The siblings are up for adoption after a journey that started in November. The pair traveled nearly 500 miles when they were being transferred from an Ohio organization that “rescues dogs from cruelty and neglect cases,” Katie Wofford, marketing assistant for the humane society, told McClatchy News via email.
At the time, Daisy and Koda were puppies and quickly landed in separate homes.
“We thought their stories had found their happy endings,” the shelter wrote. “But fate, it seems, had one more chapter to write.”
Daisy’s family couldn’t care for her anymore, and Koda’s owners faced a similar situation. So in a “massive coincidence,” both of the dogs returned to the shelter in late September, according to Wofford and their online adoption profiles.
When Daisy and Koda were back together after months apart, they had an “instant connection.” The shepherd mixes, now 1 year old, were seen playing near puppies as the joyful reunion unfolded.
“Daisy is the more extroverted of the pair, who the staff has so lovingly nicknamed ‘Crazy Daisy,’” Wofford wrote. “She’s so sociable, she’s going out on adventures with volunteers almost every single day, and is a superstar on walks and in doggie parks. Koda is a bit more reserved — quiet, loving, but the sweetest companion someone could hope for.”
As of Oct. 14, Daisy and Koda were still in need of homes. Details about the shelter’s adoption process can be found at greenvillehumane.com.
Though the dog siblings enjoy being around each other, the shelter isn’t “requiring they go home together. They’re both very social, and would be happy in any home that has other canine friends,” Wofford wrote.
