Saved By The Grace: 20 Wholesome Adoption Stories

We just love bringing you the most heartwarming animal adoption stories from all across the web. Because there is nothing in the world that makes us happier than seeing animals find their forever homes and start their new and amazing lives.

We would like to say thank you, as we do every week, for every single person who adopted. And we send a special thank you to those of you who adopted the 'less than pawfect' animals - the senior pets, the sick pets, and the pets who have behavioral issues. All of you have done something absolutely amazing, and we wish you all the most incredible time together with your new life-long companions.
