A two-legged dog named Cola, who had patiently waited for almost two years to find a forever home, has been returned to the shelter. Cola’s journey began when she first arrived at Twenty Paws Rescue in March 2023 from Kannan Animal Welfare in India. After a long wait, she was finally adopted at the end of 2024. Unfortunately, Cola struggled to get along with all the dogs at her adopter’s home, leading to her return to Twenty Paws’ care.

Rachel Salwen, the president of Twenty Paws, emphasized the importance of ensuring that both the dogs and their owners feel comfortable and happy in their homes. Therefore, Cola was welcomed back to the shelter with open arms. Despite the setback, Cola was placed with a foster family who specializes in caring for rescue dogs and animals with limb differences. The foster family, located in Pennsylvania, has experience with bipedal dogs and has provided a supportive environment for Cola.
While Cola adjusts to her new foster home, she eagerly awaits the opportunity to find a permanent family this holiday season. The resilient pup has faced numerous challenges in her life, including a devastating injury as a puppy that resulted in the amputation of her hind legs. With the support of Twenty Paws and her foster family, Cola has learned to navigate the world with her wheelchair, showcasing her independent and joyful spirit.
Salwen highlighted Cola’s resilience and expressed optimism about finding a suitable forever home for the two-legged dog. Despite her physical differences, Cola exudes love, spunk, and a zest for life. She is described as a “living, breathing miracle” who can adapt and thrive with the right care and support. For potential adopters, Cola promises a unique and heartwarming companionship that is sure to bring joy and inspiration.
Cola’s journey serves as a reminder of the incredible resilience and spirit of animals in the face of adversity. Despite her challenges, Cola continues to radiate positivity and love, inspiring those around her. As she waits for her forever family, Cola’s story is a testament to the unwavering bond between humans and animals, demonstrating the transformative power of compassion and care.
