If you haven't heard this before, we'll say it again: adopt, don't shop! Animal cruelty may just be one of the most heart-wrenching things on this planet. It baffles our minds that anyone would ever want to purposefully harm and/or endanger an animal. Unfortunately, this is the reality we live in. But for every cruel abuser, there's a kind and compassionate soul that fosters, donates, and adopts. And bless those souls, truly. Every week, we highlight the amazing transformations newly rescued doggos go through.

For today's pupper segment, we present to you a collection of before and after photos of abandoned rescue doggies that truly depict the two extremes of love and hate. The before photos show fear, hate, and trauma. The poor dogs are broken and neglected. The after pictures, however, show us how far a little bit of love and care can go. We hope for every single doggo, kitty, and any other animal in the world to be surrounded by love and love only.

Now, this is what we call a real glow-up! Can you believe that both of these puppers are the same dog? According to this good boy's owner, the poor guy had a bad case of ringworm in the before photo. But after a few treatments, a lot of care, and even more love - liddo boy became a whole new dog.
