Every single Friday, we go through the internet and look for the most heartwarming animal adoption stories we can find - because if there is one thing that is guaranteed to make any animal lover happy on the last day before the weekend starts is a bunch of animals finding their forever homes.

We would like to say thank you, as we do every week, to every one of you who adopted an animal this week. And an even bigger thank you goes to those of you who adopted gorgeous senior pets or animals with behavioral or health issues. We wish you all a long and beautiful life with your new companions. May you all have a pawnderful weekend!
