Two stray dogs named Kala and Keira were up for adoption, but sadly, no one wanted to take them in. The poor dogs had no one and the shelter couldn’t keep them any longer because they didn’t have enough space. However, someone took a picture of the two dogs hugging each other on their last day and the picture went viral. What happens next will leave you in awe!

Stray dogs have it the worst! They don’t have anyone to care for them and living on the streets is not an easy task, especially when it comes to finding food. Luckily, some shelters save them and help them find adoptive families.

Even though rescuers save stray dogs, going to the shelter is not always a good thing. The reason we are saying this is because they are kept in cages until they find an adoptive family, but that is super difficult. Keep reading to find out why!

Even though there might be many people who want to get dogs, most of them choose to purchase them from pet stores. This leaves the shelters with hundreds of dogs to take care of.

The sad part about dogs who live in shelters is that the cages can get overcrowded and older dogs get put away. As heartbreaking as this is, nearly all shelters do it and this is why people should start adopting pets instead of buying them. Kala and Keira’s story is heartbreaking, but don’t worry, it has a happy ending! Read along!

The people working in the shelters see how scared we are but just told each other that today is our deadline”. Then, something amazing happened!

Isn’t it amazing what a picture can do? If no one took a picture of the two dogs hugging it out on their last day at the shelter, then this story wouldn’t have such a happy ending. That’s why it’s important to remember this important thing…
