Power Of Love: 27 Before And After Glow-Up Photos Of Doggos Post Adoption (May 13, 2022)

Hello, animal lovers! It's finally Friday, and you guys know what that means; it's time to commemorate and celebrate the luckiest doggos of the week. Though it's important to note that these doggos weren't always this lucky. Quite the opposite actually.

The Power of Love segment highlights before and after photos of pets that were adopted from rescue shelters and into their forever homes. Almost every dog that ends up in a rescue shelter has been neglected, abused, or abandoned. Irresponsible owners turn a blind eye to vet recommendations and check-ups, which results in immense suffering for the poor dog. Neglect and abuse have many forms, they don't always necessarily have to be physical. That's why it's always important to keep an eye out for anything suspicious. However, despite all the evil, it's also important we celebrate the good. And by good, we mean amazing hooman beings that help the helpless. What beholds are 27 before and after photos of doggos that were rescued and nursed back to health. Some of these transformations are truly mind-blowing!

Now, this is what we want to see! What a spectacular glow-up! Seeing doggos in pain is never easy, it takes a lot of courage to take a wounded or imperfect pet in. That's why we're forever inspired and proud of hoomans who do. In comparison to the before photo, the doggo in the after photo is full of light and love, you could feel it through the screen.

Looking at this before photo shatters our hearts in a million different pieces. We could only imagine what this little guy or girl has been through. We're glad this precious puppy found a home but more importantly, a good human being to take care of him/her. This puppy deserves to be showered in love!
