Family Adopted Two Dogs 3 Years Apart—Stunned What DNA Test Reveals
Amanda and Daniel adopted Jaz, a Malinois x Siberian Husky mix, from a rescue in Santa Clara, California, in 2022. Jaz is a breathtaking dog with a brown and black mottled coat and heterochromia, or two different-colored eyes that make her look super unique. Happy as a one-dog household, they weren’t considering adding another pooch to the family until October 2024, when a very special dog appeared in their local shelter.
The dog in question was an adolescent female Malinois x Husky mix with brown and black mottled fur and heterochromia. This pup looked so much like Jaz that Amanda and Daniel even started calling her ‘Little Jaz’ before finalizing the adoption.

“I told my husband: we can’t leave Little Jaz in the shelter,” Amanda said in an interview with ABC7 News Bay Area.
Captivated by how similar this puppy was to their beloved dog, Jaz, Amanda and Daniel decided to make it official and adopted the puppy, who they named Zoey. Excited to give Jaz a sister, they knew the adjustment period could take some time, especially since Zoey was nervous, and barely wanted to leave her crate. Little did they know that soon, they would learn life-changing information.
DNA Test Reveals Shocking Truth About Newly Adopted Puppy
Amanda and Daniel gave Zoey lots of time to warm up to her new home and kept her and Jaz separated for a few weeks while Zoey decompressed. Though the dogs had never met before and were always separated by a glass door, they began whining for each other and staring obsessively through the barrier. Some kind of connection had formed even before they physically met, and their similar appearance made Amanda and Daniel suspicious that some greater connection could be occurring.
Taking DNA swabs of each dog, Amanda and Daniel sent the samples off for testing. In the meantime, Zoey and Jaz got to meet, and the two hit it off immediately. Allowed to greet each other off-leash in the backyard, Zoey and Jaz started playing almost right away and had no trouble communicating, almost like they had the same brain.
Soon, the DNA results confirmed it: Jaz and Zoey are biological sisters, adopted two years apart by a family that unwittingly ensured they would spend their lives together!
