The transformation that most dogs and cats go through when they are adopted from a shelter and brought into a loving home is really beautiful.
Those poor animals spend day after day locked up in cages and then finally, they get taken to a forever home and the love just comes in waves! And it lasts their entire lives (and your life, too).
What else could you ask for, really?
You’re about to see a collection of really wholesome photos that show recently adopted animals that we think will make you very happy.
Let’s enjoy these pics together!
1. A very good boy.
Living his best life.
We adopted Kane about a month ago. We don’t know much about his background or his age, but he is around 10-12. He is nearly deaf and blind. He is very sweet and just likes to sleep all day and likes going outside. He is a good boy

3. It’s safe to come out.
He’s warming up to you.
After two weeks of dwelling under the bed or random furniture as a rescue, he finally considered its safe to sit in my lap and gave me this look.

4. That is a BIG kitty.
And looks like a loving one.
2 months after adopting an older cat I still can’t figure out why anyone wouldn’t want this big bag of love.

5. She looks very happy to me.
Now she’s in her forever home.
When I adopted her from the rescue I was worried I couldn’t make her happy. I think she is happy.

10. What a good boy!
We should all be so lucky to have a Poundcake in our lives.
Meet Poundcake. He’s blind and deaf but follows me everywhere. He knows when I’m away from him and can sense when I’m feeling down. I adopted him from the pound 4 years ago. He saved me more than I saved him.
