If you’ve ever adopted a pet from a shelter, then you know the unconditional love that comes from that bond.

It lasts a lifetime and you and that cat, dog, ferret, or whatever animal you bring into your life will forever shower you with love for making them a part of your family.

And you’ll thank them too because they bring so much joy and happiness into your life!

It’s a perfect combination, no doubt about it!

Let’s take a look at some very wholesome photos that show recently adopted pets that are thrilled to be with their new owners.

Just squeeze on in there, friend.

Adopted a kitten, it seems he’s fitting in just fine. Or maybe a little too well 😂

Now he’s adjusted and feeling great!

I adopted Maui yesterday. He spent all day hiding from me. This morning, I was able to get him on a leash and go walking. When we came back he had this big smile on his face.
