Senior dog sisters waited at shelter together. Then man ‘fell in love with both'
A shelter didn't want two senior dogs to be separated — then a man 'fell in love with both of them.' Now, the canine sisters have been adopted together in North Carolina. 'They have adjusted to their new life seamlessly and I feel so incredibly lucky to have come across these two,' Andrew Chappelow, the dogs' new owner, told McClatchy News in a July 17 email. 'They have given me far more than I have given them, and I can't wait to give them the best golden years!' Carolina Animal Rescue & Adoption (CARA) celebrated as Sasha and Daisy got a second chance. Their previous owner loved them and kept them in good shape, but she couldn't keep them, McClatchy News reported in June. 'They came to the rescue as owner surrenders, due to their owner not having time to spend with them anymore,' the Sanford-based shelter wrote in a past email. 'Work obligations made it nearly impossible for them to have any human interaction. She tried having family take them, but no one was working out.' Sasha, 15, and Daisy, 12, aren't biological sisters and were brought into their previous owner's home two years apart. After they landed at the shelter, the dogs became known for their sweet, quiet nature and love for cuddling. 'They really just want to find a calm and loving home with someone who has time to spend with them,' the shelter wrote while the dogs were up for adoption. 'They also want to find someone who can keep up with their vet care and grooming needs.' Chappelow, meanwhile, was searching for a laid-back furry friend. He found Sasha's online adoption profile and saw she had a sister. 'My girlfriend and I made the trip from Wilmington, NC to Sanford on June 28th in order to meet the two pups and fell in love with both of them immediately,' he wrote. Then came the emotional moment when he adopted Sasha and Daisy into his home. Workers at CARA, a roughly 40-mile drive southwest from Raleigh, celebrated as the two settled in with their new owner. 'He reported back that they are doing so well, and he loves them so much,' the shelter told McClatchy News via email. 'All of our staff were just THRILLED that they were placed in a home together, especially in their older age!'

Busy dog owner couldn't keep ‘sweetest senior sisters.' Now both need a new home
A busy owner couldn't care for her two dogs anymore — and now, they need a new home. As both of the older pups wait for a second chance, a North Carolina shelter hopes they aren't separated. 'We were told they aren't bonded, but of course we prefer that they stay together,' Carolina Animal Rescue & Adoption (CARA) wrote June 11 in a Facebook post. 'They are the sweetest senior sisters who are taking this huge life change so well.' Sasha and Daisy are up for adoption after experiencing a rough patch. They lived with a loving owner who kept them in good shape, but the situation didn't work out. 'They came to the rescue as owner surrenders, due to their owner not having time to spend with them anymore,' the Sanford-based shelter told McClatchy News in an email. 'Work obligations made it nearly impossible for them to have any human interaction. She tried having family take them, but no one was working out.' Sasha, a 15-year-old Maltese, has become known to start playing with Daisy, a 12-year-old Maltese and poodle mix. But the dogs mainly are quiet, often wanting to cuddle on someone's lap. 'For the most part they are calm,' CARA wrote. 'They are not biological sisters. Daisy was brought into their home two years after Sasha.' As of June 13, the shelter's website listed Sasha and Daisy among the animals waiting for homes. Details about the animal organization's adoption process can be found at 'They really just want to find a calm and loving home with someone who has time to spend with them,' the shelter wrote. 'They also want to find someone who can keep up with their vet care and grooming needs.' Sanford is a roughly 40-mile drive southwest from Raleigh.
