As much as we hate to think about it, all too often animals are neglected, underappreciated, and can end up in animal shelters or worse. On the flip side, adoption can be the most amazing experience a neglected animal can go through in their lifetime. Every week, we highlight some of the amazing transformations that occur when a newly adopted animal is showered with love and affection.

The transformations that can occur even in a relatively short amount of time can be drastic! It just goes to show that the power of love goes a heckin long way! These animals have so much love to give and they are just waiting, often in shelters, for their hoomans. We always recommend taking a trip down to your local shelter, if not to adopt than at least to get to know some of the amazing souls that call it home. Head down today!

"It's my dog's birthday! 2 years ago today was the day I found him (or he found me). In the first pic he was underweight, covered and ticks and fleas, and had internal parasites. Next pics are of him yesterday on our walk! ?? His name is Meeko!"
