Family Adopts Dogs 24 Hours After Video Posted on Patch
Mallorie and Murray are the two new additions to Tammy Costello Denton's family.
Patch sites in the Akron-area have been featuring two pets every weekend that are in need of adoption from One of a Kind Pets in Akron for months now.
Fairlawn-Bath Editor Megan Rozsa said she's heard from employees at One of a Kind Pets that say the added visibility on the site helps get many of these pets homes faster.
But, I wanted to share one particular story where a Stow family started a conversation on the Stow Patch Facebook page and ended up adopting Mallorie and Murray, brother and sister pooches, 24 hours after the story posted.
Here's what I posted Saturday around 2 p.m. and the conversation that followed:
"I seriously did not want to post this video about two pups up for adoption because I want them!! I can handle three dogs right? If you can handle two, check out this inseparable, adorable duo at One of a Kind Pets: http://patch.com/A-vlnL

- Michelle Routh Frigo I am in the same boat. I want them also but I already have one and I think 3 would be rough!
- Laura Zuern-Coon I thought they were awesome too!!!
- Angela Bergmann If only I didn't already have 4 (2 of which were an inseperable pair at the pound). 3 isn't so bad though, honest!
- Tammy Costello Denton I so wish my kids Xavier Denton and Shelby Olive Denton were available - I'd run out there to get them today - we have been looking for a new dog. These 2 are adorable. Shelby & Xavier what do you think?
- Shawn Denton i like 'em hope the kids see this link & respond soon
- Stow Patch this whole stream of conversation is so cool! lemme know if you visit them and bring them home!
- Laura Zuern-Coon Get them get them lol no pressure :)
