It’s truly remarkable how a simple photo can change the course of someone’s life. This was especially true for two shelter puppies, Kala and Keira. They found themselves confined in a shelter, where their only solace was found in each other’s company. They quickly formed a deep bond, becoming inseparable.
But their future was bleak. They were staying in a high-risk shelter and their time was running out. However, fate intervened with a quick click of a camera, providing them with a much-needed lifeline.
At the Etowah County Humane Society, the staff took a photo of Kala and Keira, sharing their story and making a heartfelt plea on social media to save their lives. The image caught the attention of Angels Among Us Pet Rescue, who had been notified by the shelter that the puppies were on their final day, scheduled to be euthanized.
With time ticking away, Angels Among Us quickly shared the photo, immersing readers in Kala’s emotions and journey. It was a desperate attempt to give these two innocent shelter dogs a chance at a brighter future.
And the response was overwhelming – an amazing act of kindness occurred within hours. A compassionate individual stumbled upon the image on Angels Among Us’ Facebook page and wasted no time in reaching out. He pledged to save them and promised to pick them up immediately.
Though their lives were spared, this was just the beginning of their journey to find a forever home. Angels Among Us arranged a temporary adoption for the happy shelter dogs while they searched for a permanent loving family.
Finally, in October, three months after their photo captured the hearts of many, Kala and Keira found their forever homes. It was a perfect match that couldn’t have been more wonderful.
Pam Cody and Wendy Newman not only became the proud parents of Kala and Keira, but they were also best friends and housemates. This arrangement couldn’t have been more ideal – the puppies now had their own loving parents while still being able to keep each other’s company.
Cody and Newman reflect on the events that led to their adoption decision. They had come across the ad seeking forever homes for Kala and Keira earlier in the summer, but they were already caring for two dogs. However, a tragic turn of events changed everything when both of their pets passed away within days of each other. Learning that Kala and Keira were still waiting for their future family, Cody and Newman knew they had to make a difference for these deserving shelter canines.
This heartwarming story is a perfect example of how the power of social media and kind-hearted individuals can save lives and create forever homes for those who need it most. Kala and Keira are a shining example of the resilience and love that shelter animals offer, and their journey serves as an inspiration to all animal lovers.
