Family Adopts Dogs 24 Hours After Video Posted on Patch

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. 

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 :)
  • Stow Patch yah! get them!!
  • Tammy Costello Denton Going after church to meet them. Hope they are still available.
  • Stow Patch oh man, how exciting! please let me know how it goes.
