I don’t know about you, but whenever I need to feel something, I run over to the “BeforeNAfterAdoption” subreddit where families are encouraged to share photos of their rescued animals. Here are pets whose lives have been forever changed by a good home:
1.
These two dogs were found locked inside a cage amongst trash.
A new family stumbled upon them, freed them, and gave them a home.
2.
This little one was found dirty and barely moving.
A little medicine, and she’s a whole new cat.
3.
This is Tabsi. She had been hit by a car and badly injured before rescue.
4.
Vets were not initially confident in this kitty’s survival.
5.
This pup was close to starving.
Now he’s well fed and beyond loved.
6.
This is Flynn, a scrappy street cat.
His owner says that now, Flynn has undergone a “10/10 glow-up.”
7.
“Lots of love (and some food of course) can heal 🤍,” this dog’s owner captioned their photo.
8.
Adonis arrived at a shelter with a cauliflower ear and a damaged shoulder.
Now he’s named after the titular, fighting character from Creed.
9.
Angela joined her family with a serious need of a groomer.
10.
Merlin started as a dumpster cat.
But he’s living the good life now.
11.
Lucas was shy, nervous, and underfed.
Now he loves cuddles, long walks, playing with his toys, and enjoying a good meal.
12.
Like some of our other friends, Stuart was previously underfed.
But he’s got more than enough now.
13.
Mochi was found in a box outside of a Walmart.
And his owners fell head over heels in love.
14.
This kitty’s owner said, “The moment [he] arrived in [his] forever home, everything changed. [He] curled up for the first real nap of [his] life — warm, safe, and loved.”
“Now [he’s] got a fluffy coat, a full belly, lots of cuddles, and a human who calls [him] ‘the most perfect boy in the universe.'”
15.
This pup was found tied to a chain.
Now, he’ll never be chained again.
16.
Selise Geneva was found abandoned in the street.
Now she’s a playful kitty who purrs a ton.
He’s gained eight healthy pounds since being rescued.
18.
Sophie was living in an over-cramped house full of 40 other cats.
Now she gets all the one-on-one attention she deserves.
19.
Here’s what this pup looked like when living at a shelter.
And this is him now, in a loving home.
20.
Mr. Beans was a bit timid at first…
…but he’s got a huge personality now.
21.
And finally, this dog’s owner said he was sick and up for euthanasia when found.
Eight weeks later, and he couldn’t be better!
If you adopted a pet, share their before and after photos in the comments. They could be featured in an upcoming post. <3
