Hi friends, we don't like to start our days on a negative note, but this negative note leads to a positive note! Animal neglect is very real, regardless of whether or not you are personally familiar with it. And it is a terrible thing to witness, as well as to experience. And now for the positive note! 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. This weekly post just fills us with happiness every time all over again, we are just so happy to see these animals getting the second chance that they deserve.

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. Head down to your local shelter, and allow yourself to be chosen by a local shelter resident today!

"Here's Jack! He was found in the streets weighing only 6 ounces with infections in both eyes. Now he's a healthy boy at almost 4.5 lbs and one eye short! Wouldn't trade him for the world."
Hi Jack. What an amazing improvement, we love to see amazing transformations just like Jack's!

"We just celebrated Apollo's 2 yr adopt-a-versary and I came across a pic from the first week we brought him home. Here it is above a pic of him on our last camping trip <3"
Apollo may still like to nap, but he is looking much healthier and totally comfortable!

"This is Pomelo. He was abandoned 3.5 months ago during rainy season dirty and stained in his own urine, massive ear infection, malnourished and had chronic diarrhea. Think we fixed him all up alright!"

"Matilda (bearded dragon) was found wandering the streets, filthy and emaciated. The second photo is just a few weeks after I rescued her. Quite a difference!"
