Honey And Sunny formed a duo of inseparable sisters. The 2 dogs lived together with their former family, but the latter was no longer able to keep them and had recently decided to separate from them. They were taken in on July 25, 2026 by the Cobb County Animal Services shelter (Cobb County Animal Services), based in Marietta in the state of Georgia (United States).
It was a real heartbreak for Sunny And Honey. They suffered not only from being separated from their humans, but also from this sudden change in environment. However, they were at least still together and could comfort each other during this ordeal.
Unfortunately, it didn't last. A few days after their arrival at the shelter, Sunny was adopted. Adopting a dog is always excellent news, but here it meant the separation of 2 sisters who were extremely attached to each other.
Honey suddenly found herself alone in her box. The departure of Sunny plunged her into deep sadness. The shelter staff tried everything to cheer her up, but she was inconsolable.
This is what we can see in the video below, shared on August 8 by a volunteer calling herself “ @sharing.lov3 ” on TikTok and relayed by PetHelpful :
@sharing.lov3 Honey arrived at the shelter on July 25th with her sister, Sunny, after their family could no longer care for them and surrendered them both. The first time I met them, they were completely terrified. They sat in the corner of their kennel, glued to each other, trembling nonstop. They had just lost everything they had ever known. A few days later, I walked by their kennel again to visit them… Only to find out Honey was alone… ???? Sunny had been adopted, and Honey stayed behind. Please don't misunderstand me. I am so, so grateful that Sunny found a family. Saving one life is always something to celebrate, and I'm incredibly grateful to the family who adopted her. In a perfect world, Honey and Sunny would have been adopted together. Actually, in a perfect world, they would have never ended up in a shelter in the first place. But the reality is very different… It's hard enough to find one dog a home… finding a family willing to adopt two dogs together is even harder. Sadly, this happens all the time in shelters… I am very heartbroken for Honey because after losing her family, she has now lost the only thing she had left… her sister. In a loud shelter, surrounded by strangers, Sunny was the only thing that still felt familiar. Now Honey spends her days lying quietly on her bed… waiting for another day to go by. Honey is only 1½ years old. Her previous family said she is good with other dogs and good with kids. I really hope this video reaches the person who is meant to find her. Please let's find Honey the loving family she deserves… because now it's Honey's turn. ?? • • #adopt #heartbroken #dog #rescue #sad

Woopets advice: should you always adopt 2 dogs who are very attached to each other?
When 2 dogs taken in together are offered for adoption, the shelter can evaluate their situation on a case-by-case basis.
A joint adoption may be preferred when the separation seems particularly difficult, but a separate adoption may also be suitable if everyone is able to find a stable and suitable environment.
The main thing is to take into account the individual needs of the animals in order to offer them the best possible conditions for their new life.
