17 Heartwarming Adoption Stories From Around The Web
Every single week, we go through the internet, looking for the most heartwarming animal adoption stories we can find. It doesn't matter which animal gets adopted - cats, dogs, or anyone else, every adoption and every forever home makes us endlessly happy and thankful.
And so we would like to thank every person who adopted - you've done something absolutely amazing for these pets. A special thanks, of course, goes to those of you who adopted senior pets, sick pets, or pets with behavioral issues. We know it's not an easy thing to do, and the fact that you've done it is worthy of endless praise.
