A little bit of love and care can really turn around an animal’s life.

Living on the streets really is not easy. Animals have to scavenge or hunt for their food, explore every day to find safe shelter, and protect themselves from humans and other animals all the time. For some animals, it can get so exhausting that it might break their spirit. There are a lot of cruel people on this Earth. Some people harm animals for absolutely no reason. Not that there will ever be a reason that justifies hurting an innocent animal, some people just do it for fun. This can really give a stray animal trust issues. They will expect a human to kick them if they are passing by, or to throw stones at them if they are just sleeping and minding their own business in a park. It just breaks my heart to think that these poor babies have to live in fear all their lives. If they get too injured or sick, a shelter might rescue them. Then they have to spend the rest of their lives at a shelter, waiting for a human to find them cute enough to take them home forever. Some animals make it to their forever homes, while others wait around their whole lives in the shelter and never find a home. They probably wonder what they do not have those other animals in the shelter do. Are they not cute enough? Are they not funny or entertaining? Is it because they are not a fancy breed? Sometimes, they will never get the answers.

But when an animal is finally adopted, it can completely change its life. The animal will not have to worry about where to find its meal for the night. It will not have to live in fear of getting hurt by humans or other animals. They will slowly start to build up their trust for their human, and this always results in an unbreakable bond between the two. The animals will give unconditional love to their humans, and all they ask in return is to be loved back. When an animal is loved by a human, it clearly reflects on its face. An animal’s happiness is not easy to conceal. You can see that for yourself in the 15 incredible before and after transformations of animals below.

“2 years ago today I walked into a Petsmart and met a cat named Sonny who no one would adopt because he was 13 years old, covered in fleas, underweight, and had a mouth full of rotten teeth that had to be removed. He came home with me that night and it was the best decision I’ve ever made.”
