Everyone probably knows the story of the grieving pit bull who would not leave his dead companion. He sat with his partner for over 14 hours before animal control arrived to take him away. (Pit Bull Won't Leave Dead Companion)
Sadly, the shelters are full of such bonded pairs, many of them unusual odd couples (Mastiff and Chihuahua, or German Shepherd and Lhasa Apso). Many more are confused seniors who have been together their entire lives, cruelly discarded with little hope of finding a new home. It's extremely rare that a bonded pair is adopted together, even less so when they are seniors. Often their only chance, if they have one, is to be rescued.
Anyone who is thinking of adopting or rescuing, why not think of looking for a bonded pair. Your pets will have each other as company when you're not home, and you won't have to worry about finding a compatible companion when it's time to expand your pet family.
If you can't find a bonded pair readily available, don't worry - there will surely be a bonded pair that needs a home soon enough. A bonded pair will give you double the pleasure, and double the love!
