Despite their rocky beginnings, Ruggles and Chompers are jolly and healthy, both of whom were adopted into loving families! Ruggles went on to become the official representative for the shelter that saved him, the Cherokee County Animal Shelter. The dog now goes to schools to educate youngsters about puppy mills and shelter dogs.

“For those wondering why they were not adopted together… that was the shelter’s original plan, but Chompers (true to her name!) became too rough with little Ruggles, and due to his health problems, it was determined that it was in both of the animals’ best interest to be adopted separately. They are both happy and very much loved!”
