How many of you know or have seen an animal that has been neglected? It is the worst possible sight and feeling that we can imaging. On the other hand, adoption can be the most amazing experience ever and have a huge impact on an animal's life! 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, the before picture is not always pretty, but it shows us a reality that we sometimes choose to ignore. 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!
"This little guy was left alone in the rain. He almost died from pneumonia and severe eye infections made him blind. One year later, this handsome boy lightens my life. His name is Stevie Wonder."
"Teddy was in a shelter before I started fostering him, he came full of ticks and scars, 9 months later, he's a bundle of joy that's been adopted in Canada and will soon go there"
"In just a few months, my six year old shelter kitty Kiwi went from scrawny waif to gloriously floofy princess! I thought her fur growth might just be seasonal but it's been 11 months since adoption and looks like the floof is here to stay!"
"Ms. Luna spent a whole year in a cage because nobody wanted to adopt a black cat. She is living her best life now!"
"From parvo to pawfect, McFly turned 4 today"
"What a year of love can do."
