Despite their rocky beginnings, Ruggles and Chompers are jolly and healthy, both of whom were adopted into loving families!

The YouTube channel who maintains this video had some wonderful feedback on their adoptions:

 

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!”

Ritter’s home, as seen in this photograph distributed by the shelter, has been significantly harmed by this construction.
