Here at I Can Has Cheezburger we love a good story about a happy ending for an animal that was left behind. But not every animal is lucky enough to get that, and it t can be heartbreaking to see animals waiting powerlessly in the shelter for their furrever homes. That's why we love showing photos of the animals who have found wonderful homes. Every week, we highlight some of the amazing transformations that occur when 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 smile. Do be warned that for some of these incredible animals, the before picture of how they looked when they were rescued can sometimes be sad to see. But 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!

"10 years since I saw Lucy’s adoption photo on the left and scooped her up at the shelter. She’s been my adventure buddy and snuggly companion ever since."

Lucy was rescued from an Amish puppymill near where her owner used to live in Ohio, and now she's living the dream feeling the wind in her ears everyday in beautiful coastal California. Congratulations Lucy, you clearly won the forever home lottery over here, such a good girl!

Bean Before

"Meet former stray Bean. When I put these first two pics online trying to find her a home, someone who was tagged as looking for a kitten replied, "Why would I want that ugly-ass cat?." So, I deleted the post and decided she was staying with me. Witness the glow-up of the majestic Beanie Baby."
