No matter how many times I see pictures like these, they always put a huge smile on my face and bring a tear to my eye.
Go ahead, call me a big softy, I don’t care.
The thought of an innocent dog or cat that was previously in a bad or dangerous situation now spending their years in a loving, warm home with plenty of love is just about the most wholesome thing that I can imagine right now.
And I love it!
Are you ready to see some very happy rescue pets? Let’s take a look!
1. He loves his life now.
Cool name, too!
This is Axel. He was so scared in the animal shelter that he didn’t get adopted for 4 months, and then got returned for "being too shy" when someone finally took him home. He loves his life now! Pure bliss from cats
2. Just a little guy in his new house.
