Shelter Dog Hugs Her Friend Hours Before Euthanasia And Saves Their Lives
Kala and Keira, two shelter dogs who were hours from certain death by euthanization, proved that hugs can save lives. Two hours and six minutes after a photo of Kala, the brown dog, hugging her friend was posted on Facebook, they found a foster home willing to take them in and save them from certain death.
Their photo was shared by Angels Among Us, a pet rescue in Georgia that saves dogs and cats from other high-kill shelters in the rest of the state. Along with their heartfelt plea, their photo sent a powerful message: these dogs, and many others just like them, need your help!

It is so heart breaking when healthy animals put to sleep. This is not right.

Exactly. People need to be more responsible & less pets die.

Wish they could all be saved. If only the human race did their part there wouldn't be such senseless killings each day.

Or a pet over population to begin with. People seem to only want kittens and puppies. *sigh*

Agree, Shara. I belong to a site called nextdoor.com, and my neighborhood uses it to report loose or lost pets, unsavory characters knocking on doors, etc. Has done a lot of good in our neighborhood. This was a terrific story!

The lives of these animals are important. We domesticated these animals. We have proven how intelligent they are and we (as humans) are responsible for their care. Killing them is not a method of care.

I can't believe that in 2015 this is the only solution we find, killing them. How's that? we haven't evolved yet. Thanks to the man that adopted them, but what about the rest? they are going to be killed just because!

One of my little lads had been in a pererra in Spain for 4 years when we rescued him. He is so loving and gentle it makes me shudder to think what he went through before we brought him to his forever home. We love him to bits and he now lives happily with his big sister and little brother.

I was once told about how they are put "to sleep" and its very misleading to think they just fall asleep....its a long process and they use the cheapest method possible....one man told me who works in a shelter that it takes 15 mins or more and that they throw them in a pile....while Im aware this comment is hard to read, Im tired of ppls feelings possibly getting hurt- this is the TRUTH. THIS is what is happening every SINGLE DAY. And all it takes is ppl spaying, and neutering their pets...
