There’s almost nothing on this planet that makes me happier than seeing a newly-adopted animal that is obviously bursting with joy.

You can tell by their faces that they are relieved and happy to be in a loving home and it’s about as pure as pure gets.

Let’s meet these newly-adopted pets!

1. Already in love.

My friend got her old cat a kitten! They really love each other

2. Oh, I’m sure she’ll be just fine.

This Cat. Perdita. Called “the world’s worst” and “just a jerk” was finally adopted from an animal rescue in Spruce Pine, N.C. “Not for the faint of heart,” and doesn’t like hugs, she is not good with kittens, children or dogs, either. She could be so troublesome the shelter agreed to waive the fee

3. A senior dog.

My dad (who’s not a dog person) recently adopted a senior dog while his wife was looking at puppies. “I just couldn’t stand to imagine him alone at that age,” he said. Meet his new goodest boi “Rock!”

4. Meet your little sister.

My cat had anxiety issues, so we adopted a little sister for him.

5. Yours forever.

This girl was rescued and we have been fostering her for about 5 months. With a big adoption event for our rescue coming up we decided we couldn’t let her go to someone else and decided to make her our Furever Valentine. She has her quirks but has been an overall great girl for us.

6. Make yourself at home.

Adopted this little guy from a shelter. He ate a ton of food and made himself right at home; I think he likes it here.
