Overview
- The Anti-Cruelty Society said the inseparable pair were adopted together by a local family, preserving the bond staff saw in care.
- Shelter workers first took them in after finding them abandoned near a Chicago rail line, where they had stayed side by side.
- Bird is a chihuahua–pug mix and Dee is a German shepherd, and staff often saw Bird curled on top of Dee for comfort.
- Their photos and updates drew wide attention online, which the organization says helped match them with a home faster.
- With the duo placed, the shelter is urging adoptions of other animals with a temporary $50 fee through May 17.
