Man Comes To Adopt Pit Bull At Shelter, But She Refused To Let Go Of Her Best Friend

- One day a man walked into the Rocket Dog Rescue in San Francisco to look for a dog to adopt. He quickly fell in love with a three-year-old pit bull named Merrill. When it was time to pick her up, the shelter ran into a bit of a problem. Merrill wouldn't leave her best friend behind.
The volunteers at Rocket Dog Rescue dedicate their time to save unwanted and abused dogs from overcrowded shelters. Their mission is to stop dogs from getting euthanized. They regularly rescue dogs that don't have the best luck getting adopted. In 2014, the rescue took in a sick pit bull and an older Chihuahua. The two pups wouldn't leave each other's side.
Merrill and her eight-year-old Chihuahua friend Taco were brought to Rocket Dog Rescue together. The volunteers knew nothing about the dog's owner, but they did know that the two dogs were best friends. They were together all the time, and if they ever got separated, they would cry. Soon enough, the shelter truly understood how deep their bond went.

The people who gave this a thumbs down are stupid and they can go to hell this story is so wonderful I am in tears
Yessssssssssssss this is the best story ever
What utter immature nonsense. Who made you the God of everyone else's opinion?
@@migeru243 first i'm not the god of everyone else's opinion or else this vid would have 0 dislikes and second they are pitbulls and I'm sick and tired of people saying that pitbulls are the worst dog they need to look at the realty and see that it is just the owners treating them bad that is making them bad
@@oddone8488 And? What does that have to do with people disliking the video? Do you have some magic ball that allows you to conjure up spirits that help you see into the hearts and minds of every person who dislikes a video on CZcams? You're assuming a motive which you cannot know, and then calling those people stupid and pleading to the Gods to cast them into the fiery abyss based upon your wild assumption. Doesn't seem very sensible to me. But if indeed you do have a magic ball from which you draw upon the dark arts, I retract everything I've said so far and beseech thee not to curse me with eternal damnation.
Cos other ppl despise them for what they are so they hate on everything. SAD SAD PPL
The real hero is the man who didn’t leave Taco all alone and wasn’t selfish. He knew his limits in not being able to take them both. Props to you good sir.
I never thought about that that's a really smart idea
Thats a really good way to think about it. 🙏
The people who adopted these dogs are wonderful human being!
Plot twist they were Asian n tought of it as a quick meal....
😱
Jaime Noble hahahha 😂
I have new proper partner so he helps my love of dogs
I can't wait for this Corona crap to go away.
I'm looking forward to saying "I wanna twofer deal" when I go to the shelter.
2 dogs ALWAYS will be happier. (It's a pack thing)
Er NO absolute idiots geting a dangerous dog should be put down before it rips a kid to bits.
I don’t know the family that took these two dogs but I do know they are salt of the earth and an excellent example for humanity 👍
A dog's best friend is not always a human. Amen
Merrill & Taco, sounds like an awesome kids book. 😂
write it!!!🌸
Taco's such a perfect name for a chihuahua
I’ll try to write a book
This really would make a great book!
Kman...I totally agree Merrill&Taco would be an AWESOME CHILDREN'S BOOK!!!! Kids would love love, love this sweet story of dogs being such good friends!! ❣
It’s horrible that people treat dogs like they’re clueless animals. They show more love and compassion than a lot of people do. The man who adopted these cuties is definitely a hero. Their bond is just precious.
INDEED, INDEED!!!
Dogs are More Loyal than Humans, They either like you or they don't, They're not Two-faced like Humans.
pit bull and "cutie?" oxymoron
@@mikezylstra7514 0
They show more kindness and compassion than humans, because they don't have the cognitive fees will to choose to be anything other than what they're trained to be. An untrained wild dog will likely bite you if you try to stroke it, where as a trained one that's lived with a family will likely show you love. A human on the other hand, regardless of how their raised, can pick choose and choose wether to be kind or horrible at the flick of a switch. Because we have unlimited cognitive free will. It's nothing to do with dogs being kinder, it's simply they are limited to only express themselves based on their environment. In other words, you'll never find a dog that's been trained and surrounded by a loving family, act out viciously unprovoked. Where as a human can have the best upbringing and love around them, and still turn out to be a serial killer. It's called free will.
THESE two had been THROUGH alot ! They needed each other! The bigger dog was looking out for his LITTLE BUDDIE! 💜💙💕🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💙💜they were adopted TOGETHER! Thank u to the people who loved and kept them together!
Hello, how are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!!
@@tylerjakes6674u too, take care🙏🥰
Loneliness must feel terrible for shelter animals, so this young pit bull and old chihuahua coming to love and depend upon each other, was nothing short of lifesaving! What a blessing that their adoptive family knew that their bond must be nurtured.
I just adopted a three year old female bully and she was pregnant when picked up or dropped off at the shelter. She was there for
Several months, gave birth and was fixed so many stressful things in those three months. She doesn't want to be left alone and having trouble leaving her alone but it's 💯 worth it and getting better and better but been thinking about getting her a friend to help
Aren’t us humans so lucky and blessed to have the love and loyalty of a dog?
Cora Britton Oh no no
Iuuh jk k hgp thick idol
YESSSSSSSS
mythoughts 176 p
Truly blessed!
This made me shed a tear.
Merrill and Taco, soul mates :).....
Me too
Me to
Exactly
Same here
Same here
What is truly wonderful is the man who wanted Meryl, but decided not to take her away from her best friend, and the shelter for making sure they stayed together. Beautiful.
these 2 dogs love and deserve each other. they cannot be apart. there besties!
An abused dog will love you until the end. Be kind to animals
They’re kind to us. ❤️
I fully agree.
All dogs will love you until the end. Abused dogs are no different. They are all social, loyal creatures.
I agree and I have three I adopted. Best dogs ever I love my fur babies.
No, some pets are kind to us. A Siberian tiger that hunts humans is not kind lol.
@@benbooth2783 I didn’t mean wild animals in the jungle animals. 🙄
The fact that they advertised them separately was wrong. There's always got be someone willing to take tow dogs, especially with a strong bond as these two.
Glenn Smith not as high as one dog unfortunately
thank god they changed it! here in sweden, its pretty much an unwritten law to list bonded dogs as a package deal
Vigdis Joline Sweden seems to always be ahead of the world when it comes to social problems. At least as an American that’s what I have been taught. I heard that Sweden is so ahead that they are changing it so that their homeless people (i’m surprised they even have homeless) are being fitted with Debit type cards to make donating to them easier in a world that’s changing to cashless. How cool is that? Not to mention Sweden leads the world in not making men and women fulfill old fashion gender roles. It’s normal for men to stay home with the kids too. I could go on. You should be so proud of Sweden’s reputation.
I volunteer in a sanctuary, it's extremely difficult to have 2 dogs homed together, especially with 2 such different breeds and ages. :/
The good old bait n switch.
I have two inseparable dogs. It's such a pleasure to see their love for each other and I wrote a will with only one thing in it: If something happens to me and my wife, just keep the dogs together no matter what! This story resonates to me a lot.
I recently lost my mother and in her will she had put to not send her senior shitzu to the pound. that to please keep her in the family i have two dogs of my own but it was my moms request to keep her dog in the family. so that’s just what I did I didn’t realize how much i needed her dog until she was gone ❤
@@rafascrofa So sorry for the loss of your Mother. You honoring her by fulfilling her final request to keep her pup safe says so much about what a wonderful daughter you are! It's all about the special memories!!
Please provide money in your will to provide for your dogs. My aunt and uncle took their deceased friends’ ill dog, and it cost them a fortune they do not have. My aunt was considering selling her own burial plot to get money.
@bkd_cord3736 Please Please ensure your relatives know your wishes and organise a Plan A, B & C as your Will won't be read until five months or so after you die. Your animals may have already been rehomed separately.
I always adopt rescues and so do my girls. 7 years ago i got the two who were next up for execution and I adopted another one on her last day to live2 years ago. They know! And they show you the best love you'll ever have. I'm 70 I hope I make it to 100 just to love my family and rescue more sweet pups.
And some people say animals don't have emotions like humans 🙄 This is such a beautiful relationship.
Animals have emotions. I loved this story, hope Taco is still alive.
Dogs feel emotions greater than us or more extreme/dramatic.
Probably the same people that say crying is for the weak.
I had two dogs Keisha and Katie they were never separated until Keisha passed Katie never recovered and she passed not long after, they loved each other just as I loved and miss them
The family who adopted these two and took on all the medical bills are what makes this world worth living in as do those two best friends🌸
Hello, how are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!
We were able to take our dogs to be treated by a veterinarian who is a cardiologist. Medication gave them another year of happy life!
The two dogs undoubtedly had made a pact at some point that they'd stay together. Bless the little souls.
...true-and they deserve a full feature film of their beautiful bond made ASAP, instead of the garbage that multiple millions are spent on.
Lexxie Bodine I speak for the young culture saying I would definitely watch that
What a wonderful story! I love their devotion to each other, and the kindness of the family who took them in.
ROCKET DOG RESCUE! THANK U FOR KERPING THESE DOGS SAFE AND TOGETHER FOREVER! 💕💙💜🙏🙏🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶💕💙💜🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It’s amazing how some people can say animals have no feelings. This bond is deep ......
Those people are idiots.
@@casinosnoopy9900 Those people never owned a dog!
they have feelings just the same as we do
@Michele S. no they are not how would u like it if u were in a dog shelter u don’t know how to feels so shut up
Update: Taco passed away in 2018 :( but merrill is dealing with it and she's doing great!
Awe 🐶
😢
Thanks for the update.
Sad to know that Meryl is
Merrill is getting to live without Tacco .Know it's hard on her.Its anyway a sad ending to the duo's friendship. Human race can learn a lot from these dumb animals.
We adopted two dogs who were very attached to each other as well. We were fortunate since other people were only willing and able to adopt one of them. The two dogs had an amazing bond. It was wonderful! They lived very happily with each other and with us!
Glad there are still good people in this world.
This video raised my standards for a best friend. If we can't be like merill and taco then we can't be best friends. Loved this story.
@Brandon Harting not even close!! This was a horrible answer. A dog will stick by your side no matter what you do or don’t do for them. They just want love
@Brandon Harting friends more loyal? lol, please don't adopt an animal. you don't deserve one and would not be an appropriate caregiver.
@Brandon Harting You, sir, know absolutely NOTHING about dogs
Facts.
to real
Much love to those that adopted them ❤❤❤❤❤❤😚
Amen Connie. Pat
Connie Taliaferro god bless you and your family
Connie Taliaferro yes god bless the family who adopted tacco and pit bull I cannot recalled her name but both of them are beautiful thank you family for giving them a chance to be together 🙏👍
Mirelle?
Connie Taliaferro you are right so much love who adopted them😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Bless the foster family and family that kept these sweet pups together. 💕
Oh that's such a beautiful stop glad they got to stay together ❤
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
What a lovely story. Thanks to the people who adopted them together.
This makes me want to cry. I hope Taco has many more years ahead so he can stay united with his friend. It's devastating to think how things will change once one of the dogs die.
Taco will if she’s properly taken care of since she’s small breed, they tend to live long.
My exact fear 💯 when that time comes with my bonded babies ....I cry just thinking about it 🥺🥺
Taco got 3 more years but passed close to when this video when up. The other dog was able to get over it eventually. RIP taco
taco passed the day this was posted.
@@blakearius I'm sorry to hear that but I'm happy that they had some more time together. Hopefully Merrill had another friend to try to help fill the place of Taco.
What a beautiful story of the bond between dogs! Thank you for keeping the two friends together!
It's good to keep two best friends together God bless.
I loved the picture where Taco was peeking out from Merrill’s belly. I know they will be best friends for the rest of their lives.
Patshhi4 Look like mama kangroo and her joey😉😄
Gorden., you are right. I love these types of endings, and I really love Taco’s lopsided ear.
Patshhi4 There is one channel i think you might like if you like about rvs and camping and stuff go to nomadness.life the woman name Shelley and she has the cutest dog on there names mr.tiggs he is so cute.
The first man did a very good and selfless choice by not taking Merrill alone.
Why do people like you even watch a video like this what the heck is wrong with you
Responding to Matt
@@matildaharden1064 Dad, pass me the machine gun and go get some ammo!
@@deedemarest443 Trolls like Matt don't get enough attention in real life, so they try hard in cyber space to have their existence acknowledged. That is a bad substitute, but that is the only way some people get it.
Matt Harden wtf is wrong with you?
Thank you for not separating them.
Omg that’s just so adorable. Thanks for keeping taco with you, pitty. 🥰🥰🥰 and thank you to the family who adopted these two, together. Amazing.
another reason why pitbulls arent dangerous but amazing loving doggos :D
Hello fellow yeontan stan !👀 (btw i agree with your comment)
They r nannydogs
Io. Uh k
I beg to differ. There was a pitbull who lived with his family all of its life. They had a baby girl, the pit loved her very much. When the little girl was around 3 to 5 yrs old. She went to her neighbour's to play with another little girl. Now they also had a dog. Anyway when her grandma brought the little girl home. Her pitbull came running all excited to see his little girl. But then something happened. He smelled another dog on the little girls clothing, and literally mauld the child until he killed her. The grandmother could not get the pit off her granddaughter.
You see pits are great at loving and protecting their children, but they are also very unpredictable. Some goes all their lives without harming kids. But they are also very protective unto death if necessary. This pit could not predict that this little girl was real and the smell was not. He only felt, " i must get this other dog out or kill it"". Not truly knowing it was the little girl. Because they go on smell and instinct. Most family dogs are also kind to other dogs. Not wanting to kill it, but to become friends. Therfore not all breeds are unpredictable as a pit are. Don't get me wrong, i like pits also. But i never had one around my children. It's just to dangerously unpredictable. People should never had made the pitbull breed. They were made to kill bores. Now Rottweilers i think it's the most dangerous dog ever made. I'd have a pit before a Rottweiler any day!! They are famous for killing kids.
@Jkong Hong I'm not assuming anything and i know good training helps. But your a fool to think pits well never harm any child. Just because yours hasn't don't mean none will. Even with proper training. I've been around a lot longer then you. I've seen much more then you. Unless your 62 yrs old. And seen what I've seen, you have no clue what a pitbull can do. Again even with proper training. Yes they are very unpredictable.
ANIMALS ARE STILL BETTER THAN HUMANS. AND MORE LOYAL.
You realize humans created modern dogs, right?
@@drizzal83 humans are the problem why do think there in a shelter
@@grim3005 humans created the shelter.
@@drizzal83 yeah but we wouldn't need shelters if people didnt throw there animals away like trash
@@grim3005 some people do. And some people don't. Some dogs kill children. Some don't.
Hasn't Merrel got the most humane and compassionate expressive face ever!
We wanted a dog and ended up adopting a bonded pair of chihuahuas and I can’t imagine them apart. They got each other through the worst of times and I have never regretted it for a second.
Thanks for keeping them together
I don't even understand the term "unwanted and abused dog." They're like fundamentally a part of humanity.
A Loyal and Loving DOG from a loyal and loving -GOD-. I don't believe in coincidences.
This is so heartwarming thank you to the incredible family who adopted these angels together. You can tell they both have been through alot and their love for each other is what’s got them through it.
♥️♥️♥️
Amen ☁️🎺👼💒🙏🌹✨
This should be a life lesson for every worthless human that exists about love, loyalty and respect
Fat chance that would ever happen.
Much admiration for the family who took in these pups! We need more people in the world like that! Wishing the family and their pups much love peace and happiness!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Bless their big hearts ❤❤❤❤
Even dogs need a friend.. lucky to have each other
I would’ve taken both in a heartbeat. I currently have a rescued senior pit & rescued senior chihuahua. Have been best of friends, totally inseparable for many years now. Wish more shelters would at least try adopting bonded pups out together, before immediately putting them up separately. My pups would die if separated, too bonded & too old to be split up, so I so appreciate the people that did care for these 2!
My two are the same. Bless you.
How beautiful. God bless these humans. We need more people like this.
I’m not crying, I just have something in my eye...both eyes. Darn it. ❤️❤️❤️🥺🥺🥺
Hello, how are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!!
Awesome people that understood these adorable buddies are BONDED buds forever....
Love is the strongest bond, it stretches beyond humans and everything
Just bawling my eyes out I have a Chihuahua named taco. what a great story. Thank you.❤️🥰
There is a special place in Heaven for the people that kept these two dogs together and adopted them, thank you bless you :)
Hello, how are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!
Don't tell me dogs don't have emotions and feelings
In some cases more so then their supposed owners
Wonderful heart warming episode
Mike Becket , Exactly dogs 🐕 are more forgiving than humans could ever be.
Dogs have the emotional and intellectual development of a human 2 1/2 year old. They know and understand way more than most people realize.
I love your comment. I have 4 dogs and a duck. I hope to goodness that a human treats their pet as they would their best friend.
they too have feelings after all God did create them. it bothers me when humans abuse them
THAN!!!!
God bless this family for caring so much!!!! Such a gift to Taco and Merrill. 💗
Thanks for taking both dogs and getting them both love
That’s true friendship at its finest. Thank you to the family that gave them their furever home.
A beautiful story!
If there were more humans like him what a world we would live in. 🤗🐕
I had a neighbor who had two pitbulls and a chihuahua named Gigi. He told us the pits had raised her from a pup. They got along wonderfully but Gigi was definitely more aggressive than the aggressive female pit. The male pit whose name was Tank was large but as mellow as the month of May. My neighbor passed away and his relatives took the dogs, I hope they are still together.
God Bless to the family who adopted these two loving animals. ❤️
How do you not fall in love with their story
I don't know. I can't understand why this has 3000 thumbs down!
John Doe sounds a lot like married life
Such a cautionary tale and should show the souls these dogs have! Thanks for saving them.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Such a beautiful story and wonderful family who decided to keep them together. I am a rescue person myself and I do my best to help these precious furbaby's find homes. I'm at capacity with several cat's, dog's and a hamster myself. So I donate as much as I can to our local no kill shelter and advocate for them and all these animals needing loving forever homes.
Hello, how are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!
God bless you
What a lovely story. This happened to me, but with a blind cat I adopted from a shelter in Rome, Italy. The blind cat had, whilst we waited for the rabies quarantine period, become inseparable with a little kitten. The shelter emailed to say that they couldn't bear to separate them, but we agreed to adopt them both. They lived together happily for 7 years with us in the Isle of Man. Sadly, both have now passed on.
God Rest Their Souls Amen xxxxxxx Home To Heaven Amen xxxxxxx With Our Ever Growing Ever Loveing Heavenly Family Amen xxxxxxx. I am sure your two Beautiful creatures of God would like you to know how Grateful And Appreciative They Both Are Of The Unconditional Love You Had For Them Both And They Will See You When It Is Your Time To Be Called Back Home To Heaven Amen xxxxxxx
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I volunteered at the local Humane Society about 12 years ago and soon came to realize that in many instances the dog picks the owner and NOT vice versa.
How wonderful that the new owner(s) of this dog realized that it had a special bond and that adopting both dogs would bring a very special relationship with it.
Pit bulls and chihuahuas are the least adopted dogs, so it's absolutely amazing that they were adopted TOGETHER!
What a beautiful doggy family. I hope both Taco & Merril are still together & doing ok.
this is the most sweetest dog story ive ever heard
Thankyou for keeping Meryl and taco together.god bless use.
It is great to see how many wonderful people there are in this world. As a Vet Tech for 21 years, I have seen the worst the world has to offer in regards to people. Thank you Rocket Dog Rescue.
They clearly bonded deeply. Of course they should be adopted together!
Dogs are wonderful souls! 💙💜
wontstopme77 in DOG you trust.. The Beast
I know there soooo cute awwwww
wontstopme77 there the best. Read my comment above as it tells about our black lab and my dad. ✌️
Their companionship and loyalty to one another was strong enough to keep them together and the people that recognized it and took them in are amazing wonderful people!
Lets's hope they have many, many happy years together. 🙏
Beautiful story. So thankful that these two friends were able to stay together and be healthy together! Thank you!
What a great pair of pups! Thank you for adopting the two of them! You made two lives better at one time🐶🌺❤️

To the ROCKET DOG rescuers - I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!! This is heartwarming to see two completely different yet beautiful breeds have a bond most humans don't have for each other. They don't discriminate, just love. Poor little Tacho, I'm so glad he is doing a lot better and Merrill is such an amazing big sister for him. 💕
I rescued a 10yo blind & deaf mini poodle...LOVE OF MY LIFE. Still, I wonder why we can't treat each other as well as we treat our pets.
These two Souls have been bound for many lives and no one can convince me otherwise♡♡
I needed to see this story today! May they and their pet parents live long, happy lives!
Awww omg i would take both dogs home 😊
Helen Folk I can't top crying omg. Me too Helen dear!
Helen Folk yeah
Helen Folk I know but they adopted them first
such a heart warming story. GOD bless the family that took both of the dogs in.
Awhhhh wonderful people taking care of men's best friends......!! They just love you unconditionally.
"well, guess I'm getting two dogs today!"
Mike hope they got a 2 for 1 special, Shooooot! 😂😂😂
U beautiful human😂😀😘🙏🏽🕊️🇬🇧🌹
Just hope they get along because because your house would be a war zone
Marvelous people! If our world was full of guys like you, I wouldn't mind living here.
Dogs who are bonded should not be separated.
God Bless the family that took both dogs in .That was a blessing jn itself .That is an amazing thing they're doing for Taco . May this family recieve many more blessings .It brought tears to my eyes .
Sending a prayer for Taco tonight god bless!
I’m happy that they’re both together forever in a forever home
Hello, how are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!
Dogs are so loyal to each other and their humans. A quality I wish all humans had..
I agree animals are more loyal. Humans need to learn these behaviors more. 💙💛
CAN'T STOP SMILING, LOVE IS IS EVERYTHING !
You can just see the pain in a hurting dogs eyes... they are such beautiful souls, heart breaking to see.
Dogs are more like people than most people can comprehend!! This is exactly why I'll take a dog over a human begin any day of the week!! They are far more trustable, loving, and loyal than any human beings!! You find loyal dogs almost everywhere you look!! You find loyal human beings at about 1 in a million!! There's no doubt about which one should be chosen!!
Thanks to the person who invented this story. Well done!
Can’t watch these with out shedding a tear or two
So cute. My chihuahuas were besties. We lost one just recently to the same heart issues Taco has. It breaks my hearts that the surviving dog is lost without her bestie
Loyalty is dramatically underrated in today's society; This should be the norm, not the exception.
