Those of you who have witnessed animals being neglected know that it is the worst possible sight and feeling pretty much ever. 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! We always recommend taking a trip down to your local shelter to get to know the dear souls that call the place home, who knows you might just fall in love.

"We found this tiny little baby in the forest, very sick and with troubled breathing, he was still a newborn and needed 24/7 care. We never owned a cat before and thought he won't make it. Well, now he is a cheeky teenager that has my heart and I will do anything for him."

"Meet cookie my 11 yr old Jindo. She was rescued from a breeder in Korea where she was tied up in negative degree weather all winter and forced to have litter after litter of puppies. She was 5 when rescued and was scheduled to be put down due to aggression and fear of humans."
