Power Of Love: Before And After Adoption Glowups

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 other hand, adoption can be the most amazing experience an animal can enjoy. Every week, we highlight some of the amazing transformations that occur when a newly adopted animal is showered with love and affection. Whenever we come across a before and after images of a neglected animal and the transformation to healthy and happy we can't help but get emotional. Do be warned though, some of the 'before' images are quite graphic. We are just so happy that these animals got the second chance they deserved.

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 or at least making a small financial contribution. Save an animal today!

"The black one is Coffee. I got him from a kill shelter about a year and a half ago. The gray and white one is Truffle. A family member found him left behind in an apartment building as a tiny kitten. I've had him about 10 months. They are both happy boys living their best lives now!"
