Here come the waterworks!

But that’s a good thing in this case.

Because you’re about to see some incredibly wholesome and lovely photos of rescue pets that are now living the good life in safe homes with great owners.

And that’s really the best gift that humans can give animals, ya know? Countless animals are in shelters and on the street all over the country and it always warms my heart to see dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, or any kind of animal end up in a nice home.

If you’re an animal lover, you’re REALLY going to enjoy these great photos of rescue pets.

Go ahead and take a look!

1. Always hard to say goodbye.

But you made his twilight years very good ones.

Had to say goodbye to Becker. Adopted him at 18 because he needed a final home and he surprised us by being the most loving cat that ever lived. Never missed an opportunity to get pets and would always greet you at the door. I don’t think he ever stopped purring. #adoptdontshop

2. Look at that face.

Who on Earth would buy something from a “fur farm”?

6. Not so shy these days.

That’s your partner in crime from now on.

Adopted this lil guy a few weeks ago, he was the last of his litter adopted because he was so shy. Now he won’t leave me alone!

7. Ash and Ember.

A great story.

Last week I decided to adopt a kitten… There I learned the kitten I was adopting had been found in the woods curled up in a log with her sister and they had been inseparable ever since… Needless to say I ended up adopting 2 kittens… Meet Ash and Ember…

10. Enjoy the couch all you want!

He’s excited about it!

We’re adopting my friend’s senior dog who’s not allowed on their couch. I think he’s going to like laying on ours.

11. They’ll be just fine.

Together from this point on.

I was worried how my cat would react if I adopted another kitten. I think they’ll be ok.
