And then there’s Boo and Roman. Boo had already known the heartbreak of adoption and return—still searching for the family who would truly be hers. Roman, just a year old, was surrendered by an owner who could no longer care for him. Both arrived at PAWS too frightened to trust, watching from the sidelines as roommate after roommate was adopted, while they were left behind.
But when our behavior team paired them together, something clicked. Boo and Roman clung to each other as if they had been waiting their whole lives to meet. Curled up side by side, they found comfort, courage, and the will to hope again.
Then came Margarita. She came to meet Boo and discovered the inseparable pair. Having once adopted a bonded pair, Margarita didn’t hesitate for a moment—opening her heart and home to them both.
Today, this little family is safe, loved, and thriving together.
