Facebook page Angels Among Us Pet Rescue shared this heartbreaking photo with their followers, with a plea for help.
These scared pooches hugging each other are Kala and Keira. This picture was supposed to be their last. Their shelter owners couldn't find them forever homes and had decided to put them to sleep.
Then a miracle happened.
Facebook page Angels Among Us Pet Rescue shared this heartbreaking photo with their followers, with a plea for help. The request was worded on behalf of Kala and said:
I'm Kala. This is Keira. We're so scared in here. The people working in the shelters see how scared we are but just told each other that today is our deadline. We have to have someone rescue us or we'll be "next." Keira is black and not a "real boxer," just a mix. She's so brave and tells me it will be okay no matter what happens. She tells me to be brave too but I don't know if I can be. Can you see our faces. Keira knows what will happen. You can see it in her eyes. She's putting on a brave face for sure but I can feel her heart beating fast while I'm clinging to her. If no one saves us, someone will take her away from me. I'll see her as she goes down the hallway. She won't come back and I'll cry. They'll come for me next and I won't be as brave. We've comforted each other while we were here. She gave me hope when I had none. Now it's over. Unless...The team at the shelter also added their own little appeal below this. "We see a lot of things in rescue but this absolutely will reduce you to tears," they said on Facebook. They stressed that time was of the utmost importance and unless someone adopted these beautiful puppies, this would indeed be their last day.
Exactly two hours and six minutes later, the miracle happened. "That's how long it took this amazing community of animals lovers to come together to save the lives of two canine friends," the shelter team said on Facebook. Both Kala and Keira were adopted soon after the heart-wrenching picture went viral.
The best friends' before and after picture will put the biggest smile on your face and restore your faith in humanity.
