A dog abandoned at the side of the road in Dallas, Texas, last month has found a new, permanent home.

KD, a one-year-old mixed breed, was adopted by Reagan Henderson and her boyfriend Zachary San Romano.

The couple, both 22-year-old students, had gone to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Texas to find a dog.

At the shelter, they played with KD - then known as Claira-Belle - and said they felt an instant connection.

According to Henderson, KD loves belly rubs, snuggles and anything that gives her attention. Henderson said: ''All she wants to do is love on people and be loved'

'She was so sweet. We both knew we had to get her,' Henderson told TODAY.

At the time, neither Henderson nor San Romano knew about KD's tragic past, but they were quick to shower her with love and affection.

According to Henderson, KD loves receiving belly rubs, snuggles and anything that provides her with attention.

'She usually nudges our hand or gives us a sweet kiss on the face to remind us she is there,' Henderson said.

'All she wants to do is love on people and be loved.'

Instagram pictures showed KD on trips to Pet Smart, taking a bath and snuggling on the couch with her new owners.

SPCA of Texas spokesperson Victoria Albrecht said seeing KD in her new home 'has brought us all to happy tears!'
