Darwin & Sweet Caroline

Sweet Caroline arrived at the MD SPCA in pain and afraid. She had road rash on her feet and cowered in her kennel.

Darwin wandered onto our property on a very rainy day. He was soaked to the bone and terribly nervous.

Both dogs healed physically. But they were still scared and withdrawn. That’s when our staff had an idea.

Sweet Caroline and Darwin had a play date outside. They quickly fell in love, providing each other comfort and bringing out the best in each other. The two pets were bonded.

Our overjoyed staff declared them engaged. They had a photo shoot at the Cylburn Arboretum and even made the morning news.

After five months in our care, this canine couple found a loving home. Now they’re right where they belongtogether and happy.
