A pair of pups tied the knot in a fundraiser for a South Carolina animal shelter. Sassy and Sparrow walked down the aisle with help from Greenville County Animal Care and several local event planning businesses. The newlyweds’ nuptials benefit the shelter’s “Have a Heart” fund, which provides heartworm treatment to shelter dogs.
The treatment costs between $500 and $1000 per dog and both the bride and groom have recovered from the serious lung disease. The shelter says that’s why the dogs chose the cause “in lieu of gifts.”
“Sassy and Sparrow fell head over tails in love and are tying the knot today. But life has not always been easy for this happy couple,” the shelter explains. “At one time, both were in a shelter and suffered from heartworm disease. Heartworms can be a barrier to adoption and that makes Sassy and Sparrow sad.”
