Good morning, friends. We hope that you have had a pawnderful week. But whether you did or you didn't, we're about to make sure that your weekend starts on the right paw with the most wholesome segment on the internet: it's time to meet the newly adopted faces of the week!
Every single Friday, we start your day off with a collection of the most heartwarming animal adoption stories we could find. Because there is nothing that we love more, as animal lovers, than seeing animals find their forever homes.
Thank you to every single person who adopted this week - whether you adopted a tiny itty bitty kitten, a fully grown adult pupper, or a hamster - we're thankful. And we're even more thankful to those of you who adopted the 'less than pawfect' animals - the senior animals, the sick animals, or the animals who have behavioral issues. We wish you all the longest and happiest lives with your new companions!
"We adopted Miss Kitty yesterday from the shelter. 8 years old, one tooth left, a congenital foot defect causing a limp, and overweight. She'd been at the shelter since December. We couldn't leave her there. She's a love bug. Such a sweet girl. So lucky to find her."
"I've never been in a situation where I could care for a dog and after a lifetime of waiting I got a Mini Bernese Mountain Puppy. My wife won't let me name him Bernese Anders but he's still perfect."
"Esther was found dying by a pond in our neighborhood. No one claimed her so we took her to the vet, got her treated, then decided to keep her. Our vet guessed she was 18. She bounced back and had an amazing five months full of love and snuggles. She passed away two weeks ago. She was so beautiful"
"Got this little girl on Tuesday. If you pick her up she slaps you, get your face too close she slaps you, petting her is fine but then she climbs up you on the couch and then tries to slap you. What is going on?"
"I was driving down an alley and this little guy ran up to my car. When I stopped at the stop sign, I opened the door and he got in! He was cold and starving and needed a bath but he is the sweetest! Meet our new Halloween kitty, his name is Boo!"
"I've been on a seemingly never ending streak of severe depression for most of this pandemic. Came home to a new friend my mom rescued. His name is Sam, and I'm so damn happy and can't wait to have a little buddy to come home to."
