Rescue Puppies Became Friends With A Giant Turtle And It's Just So Wholesome
Some animal friendships are so unexpected they stop you in your tracks. That is exactly what happened at 2nd Chances Rescue, where a few abandoned puppies ended up bonding with an eighty-year-old sulcata turtle named Goliath.
Andrea, a volunteer and foster home for the rescue, took in the pups after they were found in a PetSmart parking lot. They were scared at first, and Goliath, who usually kept to himself, seemed like an unlikely companion for the tiny newcomers.
Then the puppies started seeking him out, and the whole story turned into something wonderfully wholesome. Read on.
These four pups were brought to the 2nd Chances Rescue in Norco, CA. A man had found them in his garden but was unable to locate their mother.
The rescue is home to Goliath, an eighty-year-old sulcata turtle.
One day, Andrea, one of the shelter volunteers, couldn't find the pups. She was so afraid until she found them cuddling with the giant turtle.
It gave the fearful puppies a sense of security and a sense of closeness to Goliath. A classic win-win.
The puppies clearly decided Goliath was part of the crew.
Speaking of unlikely rescues, this feels like a rescue piglet and an orphaned kitten bonding through acceptance and love.
“I believe he was ecstatic, and I believe he adored it,” Andrea says.
