For stray dogs, every day is a struggle for survival on the harsh streets.
Kiah, a sweet German Shepherd mix, fought through starvation and exhaustion, even with a broken front paw.
Despite everything stacked against her, she clung to the hope that one day kind humans would come to her aid.
The Miracle Kiah Needed
When Kiah was finally rescued and brought to the City of San Bernardino Animal Services, she felt like her luck had finally turned.
At only a year and a half old, she dreamed of a loving home.
Shelter volunteers immediately fell in love with her gentle nature and resilience, hoping she’d find the perfect family.
Sadly, after only ten days, Kiah was placed on the euthanasia list.
She needed a miracle, and time was running out. On the day she was set to be euthanized, Kiah seemed to accept her fate, almost ready to let go of her dreams.
A Last-Minute Rescue
Just as all hope seemed lost, a miracle happened.
The compassionate team from Leashes of Love Rescue, Inc., based in Lake Forest, California, stepped in at the last minute, pulling Kiah from the shelter.
She was placed in a loving foster home where her journey to recovery began.
Kiah’s spirit soared. She was put on a nourishing diet and gradually regained her strength.
Although her leg couldn’t be saved, Kiah adapted to life as a tripod with remarkable courage. Her foster family showered her with affection, which she returned tenfold.
Ready for a Happy Ending
Kiah, now pain-free and full of life, became even more playful and affectionate.
Her rescuers describe her as a “cuddle bug” who can’t get enough head, body, and belly rubs.
She’s ready to give all her love to a forever family who will cherish her unconditionally.
After everything she’s endured, Kiah is now ready for the happy ending she so deserves.
