There are times when a single photograph changes lives and that was certainly the case when it came to the lives of Kayla and Kiera. The two dogs by those names managed to capture the hearts of the Internet community when a picture was posted of the two of them in what appears to be a thoughtful hug, just hours before there were to be euthanized.
The entire situation had became worse due to the fact that neither of the dogs were able to find foster families or new owners that were willing to take them in. A local animal group had gone to the shelter and was able to capture this special moment between the two dogs and put it on their Facebook page.

The animal rescue group that took the photograph was Angels Among Us. They work as a nonprofit charity group and they rescue both cats and dogs from North Georgia high kill shelters. They posted this message…
“Oh my gosh!!! We see a lot of things in rescue but this absolutely will reduce you to tears! Kala and Keira are in a shelter and are scheduled to be put to sleep. Today is their last day unless we can save them. This is as urgent as urgent can get. We really don’t have time to spare. We have no fosters available. Animals in need have overwhelmed us recently and we must have someone today apply to foster.”
Just two hours and six minutes after posting the message, a young man stepped up to the plate and became a foster owner to these adorable animals. The page was updated and commendation was given to the community because of the generous spirit that they displayed.
