Tiny Ruggles, a Shih-Tzu puppy, was given a second chance at life after being rescued from a puppy mill. To mark the start of his new beginning, he was introduced to an unexpected friend—Chompers, a tiny kitten who had been found alone under a porch at just two days old.
Despite their differences, these two rescued souls formed an adorable and heartwarming bond. Watch their first meeting in the video below and witness how friendship and love can blossom in the most unexpected ways.

Despite their rough beginnings, both Ruggles and Chompers found their way to loving forever homes, where they are now happy, healthy, and thriving.
Ruggles’ journey didn’t stop at just being rescued—he went on to become an official ambassador for the Cheroke County Animal Shelter, the very place that saved him. Now, he visits schools, helping to educate children about shelter dogs and the harsh realities of puppy mills. How sweet is that?
As for those wondering why they weren’t adopted together, the shelter originally planned to keep them as a pair. However, Chompers lived up to her name, playing a bit too rough for tiny Ruggles, whose health issues required extra care. Ultimately, the decision was made to separate them for their own well-being—and today, both are loved and cherished in their new homes.
A heartwarming reminder that every rescue deserves a second chance! ✨
