Two dogs were surrendered at the shelter because their owners couldn’t afford to take care of them anymore.
At first, the two dogs were smiling and happy until they ere separated from each other and their family. They were now surrounded by strangers and had no idea what was going on.
The two dogs “did great walking on a leash next to each other when they came in but now they are confused and alone and missing each other and home” explained Saving Carson Shelter Dogs who began an online campaign to save the two dogs.
AJ, the 6-year-old dog took it the hardest after being separated from his brother. He was so scared that he ‘sobbed’ inside his kennel.
“AJ is 100% pure sweet, gentle, loving beauty, he loves other dogs and he is missing his brother, Saving Carson Shelter Dogs wrote. “He is shutting down, he has a cold and he needs your help…”

The video went viral almost immediately just days after it was released. That’s when the community online went into action to save the brothers before they were euthanized.
Soon after, AJ’s tears were replaced with a happy smile and wagging tail after he was pulled from the shelter.
This beauty touched the hearts of a lot of people and today he was lucky enough to take his FREEDOM Walk out of the Shelter, even while he is struggling with a cold. He was Rescued and we are hoping tomorrow that Rescue will work with the different Rescue that is saving his Bonded Brother TOBY, so they can be reunited. Both have been seriously depressed since they were separated… Happy life sweet AJ <3PHOTO: https://www.facebook.com/savingcarsonshelterdogs/photos/a.219655291540446.1073741846.171850219654287/536011676571471/?type=3&theater

The best part, both of the dogs were adopted together by a loving family.
