It can be heartbreaking to see animals waiting powerlessly in the shelter for their furrever homes. That's why we love getting the opportunity to show photos of the animals who have found wonderful homes and are truly thriving. Every week, we highlight some of the amazing transformations that occur once a newly adopted animal is showered with love and affection, pampered, and given an amazing new life to live.
Whenever we come across the before and after images of a neglected animal and the subsequent 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. We are just so happy that these animals got the second chance they deserved. 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!
Awww, look at poor Nikita, she looks so shy and scared in this photo. Hopefully she has a beautiful transformation and blossoms into the well-loved dog that she was always meant to be. Let's take a look at what Nikita looks like these days…
Wow! We're simply speechless, this is such a dramatic and beautiful transformation to witness. Is this even the same dog? We think the heck not. We're so happy that Nikita has found her forever home, she looks absolutely radiant and so pleased to have made it home.
