When Layla and Lola arrived at their local shelter, the bonded sisters seemed to share one quiet promise between them: they would hold on to each other until someone came for them both.
A family adopted them not long after, but that happy chapter did not last.
The two dogs were brought back to the shelter not just once, but two more times. With every return, it became clearer that the one steady thing in their lives was each other. Their bond became their source of comfort, familiarity, and safety.
Everything finally began to shift when Humans and Animals United (HAAU), heard about their story and decided to step in.
Rescue Steps In To Help
Rosa Fond, the founder of this Florida-based rescue organization, immediately took action to help the bonded pair.
She raised emergency funds to remove them from the shelter and began searching for a foster family that could care for both dogs together.
Fond’s compassion went beyond saving them from the shelter. She gave Layla and Lola the chance to start over.
When HAAU volunteers arrived to pick up the two sisters, their joy multiplied as they watched the dogs react with excitement.
“Seeing them leave the shelter [that] kept them safe until we arrived brings tears to our eyes. The girls have a new beginning, and this time, it will be a forever happily ever after!” HAAU wrote on Facebook.
Their emotional rescue was captured on video and shared online, showing the sisters wagging their tails and greeting their rescuers with happiness.
Afterward, the volunteers brought Layla and Lola to a veterinary clinic for a complete checkup. Once the vet confirmed that both were healthy, they were taken to HAAU’s rescue center to meet the other animals.
A Home That Fits Them Both
Since the pair shared a strong bond, they needed a foster home that could provide love and care for two.
“They are bonded. We would never [separate] them. They need [and] depend on each other. [It’s] the only way to do right by these girls,” HAAU wrote in a comment on Facebook.
Fortunately, a kind-hearted family stepped forward to foster both sisters. Layla and Lola quickly settled in and showed how happy they were to stay together.
“As promised, these girls have been kept together. Fully vetted, they are settling in perfectly at their foster home,” HAAU wrote on Facebook.
When the time comes, the sisters will find their forever home where they can live side by side.
For now, they are thriving in their foster home, surrounded by people who give them love, care, and safety.
“They are definitely lucky girls,” HAAU wrote in a Facebook comment.
