Rescue dog and goat best friends find their forever home together

By 9Honey with CNN|

Cinnamon, a goat, and Felix, a one-year-old bulldog mix, are an unlikely duo, but best friends, nonetheless.

The four-legged friends enjoy spending time together จC eating, playing, and sleeping.

And now, they can continue those things together at their new forever home.

The pair was brought to Wake County Animal Center in North Carolina, US, on March 13 by the City of Raleigh Animal Control for temporary housing, according to the shelter.

On March 25, Friends of Wake County Animal Center, a non-profit organisation that provides support to local animal shelters, shared the story of the unique companions on Facebook.

The social media post was shared over 3000 times and garnered hundreds of comments from interested animal lovers.

But before publicly placing Cinnamon and Felix up for adoption, the animal shelter contacted a longtime rescue group and a foster family they had worked with before.

Soon after, a local foster family with a small herd of goats and grassy pastures for dogs agreed to take Cinnamon and Felix in.

"I'm so excited they will be living their dream life in Johnston County with their new family," Shinica Thomas, the chair of the Wake County Board of Commissioners, said in a news release.

"The Wake County Animal Center has a fantastic rescue network and they focused on the best solution for this pair after getting custody of them.

"This was the best outcome we could hope for!"

The Wake County Animal Center had worked with this family previously as well, so all agreed it was the perfect match.

"We are so blessed to be able to foster Felix and Cinnamon!" said Jacqui Bankes, the new proud owner of the dynamic duo.

"As their forever foster, we are excited to keep them together and also integrate them with our other goats and dogs, after appropriate testing and quarantine. Thank you to Wake County and Mr. Mo Project for making this possible for us!"
