Animal shelters work tirelessly, 24/7, to rescue and assist animals that require help.
The problem of stray animals is an ever-growing crisis that appears to have no end in sight worldwide. Pets are frequently left to wander the streets by their negligent owners, exacerbating the situation. Although shelters make a valiant effort to tackle the issue, they are frequently constrained by limited resources and capacity. As a result, there are instances when it appears that the crisis has spiraled out of control.
Sadly, in cases where shelters are unable to find suitable homes for animals, they resort to the tragic option of euthanasia.
The issue of euthanasia has been a subject of ongoing discussion regarding human values. While euthanasia provides a swift and “humane” end to the life of an animal, it remains a somber and irreversible decision for many creatures. Unfortunately, some shelters are compelled to make this tough choice to create space for other animals in need.
The narrative of today revolves around two young dogs that were only a few hours away from being put to death.
The clock was staring down Kala and Keira in the most nerve-racking manner.
Usually, animal shelters have a specific time period before they resort to this measure, and for these two canines, that time was approaching rapidly.
During their stay at the Etowah Valley Humane Society in Georgia, the dogs had been companions and had been transferred to the shelter together in 2015. They shared everything during their time there.
The news of their destiny spread, and a group of individuals came together to spread the message and encourage others to rescue them.
The Angels Among Us pet rescue community heard about these adorable dogs and were heartbroken to hear the distressing news. Although they were unable to take the dogs in themselves, they went the extra mile to find someone who could either provide a temporary or permanent home for them.
And this was the miraculous event that ultimately rescued them.
The rescuers captured a poignant moment of the pair when it counted the most. While in the shelter, Kala hugged Keira, and their tale was circulated on social media. The story was presented with great sentiment, with Kala pleading for both his and his best friend’s lives.
As soon as the story was shared, readers flooded in, offering their love and commitment to the duo.
Feeling devastated upon hearing about their impending fate, people quickly shared the message, causing the post to go viral. Eventually, it came across the attention of a man who promptly rushed to the shelter to save them.
The story of Kala and Keira resulted in a beautiful and happy ending.
The fortunate duo found themselves in the care of the perfect match and were granted a second lease on life. Although the man could only foster them temporarily, he eventually found their forever family, which happened to be Pam Cody and Wendy Newman.
