Twitter Thread: Humans Proudly Show Off Their Rescue Pets

Adopting a rescue is no small task, it can take years to get to a place where your pet fully trusts you and is able to flourish. It can be emotional, and stressful, but also extremely rewarding. This requires going on a journey with your rescue animal, to gain his or her trust and any potential adopter needs to be mentally prepared for that.

This heartwarming Twitter thread inspired Twitter users from east, west, north, and south to come together and share the cutest images they had of their rescue pets! As usual, the Twittersphere did not disappoint. There are few things that make us happier than delightful pictures of rescue pets being their adorable selves.

And that is why we just had to compile all of the wonderful rescue pet tweets that this cute Twitter thread consists of!
