21 Short Stories Of Adopted Animals: A Twitter Thread

Hello, beautiful people! Whether you're starting your day or finishing it, we want to share a pawsitive Twitter thread that will bring you a sense of hope in humanity. Well, at least it did to us. Someone asked on Twitter, "Have you ever adopted a rescue animal?" and received tons of replies, stories, and photos of the pets they adopted.

If you've ever rescued an animal, just know that you're a forever hero in our eyes. We're not here to lecture anyone on adopting or shopping, but taking in a rescue is an incredibly courageous commitment. Especially, if they've previously experienced abuse. With that being said, with everything going on in the world, we think it's important to highlight the good. And this thread is exactly it. Wherever you are and whatever you're doing, get ready for the most wholesome scrolling of your life (no exaggeration whatsoever). We present to you 21 heartwarming stories that may even bring you to (happy) tears.

Thank you, Greg, for being a human being. We're glad that Champ, Abbie, and the rest of the beautiful animals under this thread got a second chance. We hope that one day, we will live in a world full of peace and kindness where animals don't have to undergo abuse. In the meantime, we're glad that there is good to balance out the bad.

Oh, these two are just something else. We feel this incredible energy from them, old-soul type of vibes. We bet they're intelligent as heck. They also have super cute toe beans and adorable noses. It was the first thing we noticed when we saw this photo, their unique little noses; brown and pink.
