Waffles, a 6-year-old miniature horse, is looking for a home in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. A person who adopts this horse will receive a wonderful gift. That is his best friend Hemingway the goose. Because Waffles and Hemingway cannot live without each other. Their friendship is so strong.
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals rescued the horse and his best friend, the goose, along with two peacocks and twelve ducks from a local farm in July. Officers then brought them to the SPCA barn and now they are enjoying life at the Bucks County SPCA.
“They were being kept in filthy conditions without adequate shelter,” Cindy Kelly, director of communications with the Bucks County SPCA (BCSPCA), told The Dodo. “We don’t know how long they lived together, but … right from the start it seemed to us that these two shared a special bond.”
After they move to the new station, when they start adjusting to that environment, Waffles has an infection. After that, the two have become very close. Hemingway, the horse’s best friend, used to comfort Waffles every day when he was ill.
“The pair just seem happy to be together and Hemingway especially wants to keep it that way,” Kelly said. “They seem to comfort each other.”
Hemingway is motivated to do anything for his friend, but this friendship sometimes becomes complicated in his treatment.
“When we go to give medicines or injections, Hemingway would get in between and say, ‘I’m sorry that’s my buddy the horse. He doesn’t want a shot today.”
“Hemingway just gets protective and he doesn’t want to get split up from his friend,” Kelly said. “Hemingway will honk or flap his wings if he thinks you’re trying to get between them.”
SPCA workers say the two became inseparable. Therefore, they have to be adopted together, so it is very difficult to find a forever home with a person willing to adopt them both. However, the SPCA will not accept applications for both animals until they find someone they both like.
The relationship between Waffles and Hemingway has sparked interest in adopting them from people across the country, so we believe they both have the potential to find a good owner despite the challenge of being a package deal.
If people in Bucks County are interested in adopting Hemingway and Waffles or other farm animals from the SPCA, you can visit their website and fill out an adoption application.
Waffles and Hemingway’s extraordinary and wonderful relationship is solid proof that you can do anything with a good friend by your side.
