How can three totally different animals not only support each other but also become such strong friends that even circumstances can’t separate them? And yet, such a story is real – and that’s what we’re going to tell today.
An elderly pet owner, who due to his age could no longer keep them at home, gave Sasha the dog, Twix the rat, and Jack the cat to the shelter. He asked shelter staff to make sure he would never be separated from his animals, but they warned him that was unlikely to happen.
Indeed, it is difficult to find a home for just one animal, but there are three of them, and they are all so different. Nevertheless, this incredible trio captivated the staff. People, some of whom have cared for animals for decades, have never seen anything like it.
Regular medical checks were impossible if only one of the trio was brought in – they growl, try to bite, and lash out. But if the staff let all three of them in at the same time, they would allow themselves to be examined peacefully, without even a hint of resistance.

Indeed, it is difficult to find a home for just one animal, but there are three of them, and they are all so different. The animals slept, ate, and played together, there was nothing they could do alone.
All the while, the workers were under moral pressure from their superiors, as the trio had overstayed their stay and it was time to find masters for them. There were people who could take the animals separately, but an inner voice kind of urged them to wait.
And indeed, sometime later, a former client, a very wealthy family, showed up at the shelter. In the past, they had already adopted a few kittens, but it was time to « expand » the family. When this family discovered an unusual trio living in the shelter, they asked to show this miracle.
Everyone was impressed and wanted to take the cat and the dog, but there was a problem with the rat. The fact is that the family already had a lot of cats and dogs in the house, but a rat is not a cat or a dog, it can be eaten.
Anyway, the family hesitated for a long time but finally decided to take not only Sasha and Jack but also Twix for a short time. The animals, therefore, went on a « trial period » with these people.
