The adorable pic included a heartbreaking plea written from the perspectives of the dogs, who the post said were scheduled to soon be put to sleep.

"If no one saves us, someone will take her away from me," One passage, attributed to Kala, reads. "She gave me hope when I had none. Now it's over. Unless…"

Just two hours after the post, the dogs were taken into the same home, according to the rescue group. An updated photo featuring Kala and Keira giving kisses to their new caretaker drew more than 30 thousand likes.

But the shelter later clarified that while the pups are "safe and in angels' care," they are currently being fostered and are still in need of a permanent home. The group is accepting foster care offers, donations and applications to adopt the animals on its website.

"I'm Kala. This is Keira. We're so scared in here," the Facebook post reads. "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.'"

The Facebook post received over 17,000 likes and nearly 10,000 shares. The touching image of the dogs' embrace proved to be successful, as Kala and Keira were saved from the shelter.

"Exactly 2 hours and 6 minutes. That's how long it took this amazing community of animals lovers to come together to save the lives of two canine friends," the updated Facebook post read. We just received word from our Angels volunteer that Kala and Keira are safely in the car and on their way to a vet-all thanks to you."


ABC reached out to Angels Among Us to determine if the person in the second photo is the dogs' new foster owner and to find out whether the dogs still need a forever home.
