Being the superior specie, it is our job to take care of our little furry friends. Imagine spending more than half of your life in a shelter without getting proper love and attention from someone. All animals need a forever home. A home is the most important thing and it can drastically change an animal. When you have a roof, a warm bed, and some food in your bowl, life takes a 180-degree turn.
From roaming around hunting food in the streets and being abused by humans and animals altogether, the protection of a forever home is the most amazing thing ever. When you adopt a pet, you are not only changing the life of the animal, you are altering your own lifestyle as well. You make a new best friend and family member when you adopt a furry friend. If you want to see the impact of adoption on animals, scroll down below to see some before and after photos:
1. “From a dirty 3-week old kitten to an 11-month-old sexy boi, meet Jack!”
6.”When we adopted Maggie she had worms, kennel cough, and mange. We had to put her in toddler shirts because she would scratch and started to lose her fur. Now she is thriving, loving her new hammock, and silky coat!”
9.”My boy Yuzu was a stray found by a friend of mine with the worst case of scabies we’ve ever seen (we’re all vet students). He’s also had ear mites, fungal infections, stud tail, & recurrent ear and eye infections one after the other. One year and lots of of treatments later and he’s perfectly healthy!”
10. “Toby and Quinton were rescued together and adopted as a bonded pair. Toby has ehlers danlos syndrome and Quinton was toothless. They became brave and happy . Quinton passed away recently, I’m so glad we had him for the time we did and he passed knowing we would keep his best friend safe”
11.”I adopted the saddest looking cat at the shelter three years ago.”

Do you see how much just a little bit of love can affect a pet? Look at how miserable they looked on the streets and in shelters. But now that they have a forever home, they are genuinely happy and feel like the Kings and Queens of the world! These are the only glow up stories that I’m interested in. Scroll down below for the rest:
12.”Coco came to us skin and bones. Fast forward a few months and she’s a happy, healthy pup with a forever home to boot!”
13.”Miley, who came to me as a hospice foster dog since she wasn’t expected to live and we just wanted to make her comfortable. This is her, a year and a half later!”
15.”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.”
19.”My cuz found this pup almost frozen to death on the side of the road in Long Island NY back in January and has nursed her back to the cutest health ever since. This is Ellie”
