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!
Load More Replies... 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...
This is the most beautiful innocent kind of love. Love conquers all! I am so ad these babies have a rescue and I pray hey get a loving forever home together very soon. I pray all animals and living things have a loving home always and we must be the change we want to see in the world!
Humans and their selfish needs...ADOPT an older dog who will forever be grateful..I know I have a rescue dog and she is incredible...this dog was a mess when I first saw her but with months of repetition and love she has become an amazing dog...(she is the flat coated mix on the left). She is so agile and incredible I will put her into an agility course in a few weeks. Do what is right and adopt never buy an animal AND get an older dog...they will thank you every day...
No more kill shelters!! These precious pets have a right to life just like we do!
Noone concerned about the staggering rate of animals with commicable diseases? Ok...well remember that when you are covered in parasites how cudley and cute they are. But protect yourself when handling animals without prior knowledge of where they've been. Lots of bad stuff out there.
I always push Adopt, Don't Shop! Pet shops take away homes from shelter pets! I would love to see pet shops banned from selling cats and dogs from breeders!
Adopt a rescue. This helpless furry creatures depend on us more than we realize. They will certainly show you the definition of TRUE LOVE
I think people are the most selfish creatures on this planet. Pet overpopulation is as bad as it was years ago, especially when so many low-cost spaying/neutering programs available to anyone who needs them. Millions of healthy dogs and cats are still killed every single day because of irresponsible people .
If Veterinarians services, were no so expensive, there will be not so many animals left behind ...and more people be willing to adopt...Just check the red and see the prices...
If people would fix their animals, the world.would not have this horrific problemag
How is that still happens? I mean killing animals in "shelters"...we are still the same sh*t as always.
Georgia is one of the WORST states in the country for kill shelters and the way they treat their animals while they are on the waiting list. Horrifying
Everyone deserves a good home! We dont ask to be born into this life, some times we just need a helping hand to take care of us and love us! Animals love unconditionally they deserve the same in return!
I pray that there will be more and more of these adoptions. It is so sad to kill them because no one wants them. AND spay and neuter so we can get this problem under control.
One thing we can help is "adopt don't shop". Stop buying pets from breeders.
No tengo palabras para expresar la felicidad de saber que esas criaturitas lograron salvar sus vidas, ojalá que otras también puedan hacerlo
Selfish people who only thinks about human race...:( they are created by God too they should have space for living..
So right you are. People just don't realize how much these beautiful animals depend on us to take care of them. If people would just understand how much a rescue would change their life for the better. Truly show you the meaning of True Love

i was in tears....thank God they were saved by this wonderful Godsent foster parent to these two Cute dogs.!!
...I don't think people would care so much if politicians were put to sleep!
Awesome!! Maybe they should put those live camera feeds in every shelter and this would happen more often, right?
