Bella and Snowball have been animal best friends for many years. The white Chihuahua mix and the significantly larger Golden Retriever grow up together.

But as he gets older, Snowball goes blind. Whether it’s because of the rising health costs for the two dogs or something else, her family is giving the animals to an animal shelter.
There, the chances of the two friends being adopted are very slim. Let alone finding a new home together.

Not only is Snowball blind, the two animals are old and therefore need a lot of care and attention. Which can also result in increased costs.

Because Bella and Snowball were left in an animal shelter where unadopted animals are put down.
Since her admission, it’s clear that Snowball has given up hope. But her replacement mother Bella does not leave her protégé alone.

The caretakers at the shelter could see how Bella tried to cheer up again and again in the common kennel Snowball.

But the days go by and the old bitches keep getting overlooked. Bella also begins to hang her head.
In contrast to their conspecifics, the two don’t jump around barking as soon as visitors come. On the contrary: they lie still and withdrawn in their kennel.
But one day the miracle happens! A couple visits the animal shelter and notices Bella and Snowball.
They ask about the story of the two, after which it is clear to them: they will give the bitches a happy old age.
On YouTube, “Rumble Viral” posts a video of Bella and Snowball, where you can see the two animals’ joy at their new family!
