24 Newly Adopted Faces That Melted Our Hearts

Every single week, we make sure to start your weekend off as pawfectly as possible by collecting the newest, most heartwarming animal adoption stories from the web. From kittens and puppies to grown cattos and doggos, all the way to rats and other animals. Because every animal deserves a forever home, and we want to celebrate them finding it.

Of course, we want to thank every person who adopted this week. And an even bigger thank you goes to those of you who adopted senior pets, pets with health or behavioral issues. We know that taking care of these pets is more difficult than most others, but goodness, it is so worth it, and we are so, so thankful to you guys.
