Power Of Love: 33 Before And After Photos Of Doggos Post Adoption

Hi, friends, and happy Friday! The day we've all been waiting for is finally here. Not only is it the last workday of the week, but it's also time for another Power of Love segment! If you're new here, Power of Love is a segment where we highlight and showcase the newest before and after photos of doggos after they've been rescued from shelters and adopted into their forever homes.

This segment is one of our ultimate favorites to make because it demonstrates just how far a little love can go. The before photos of all of these doggos speak volumes. They tell stories of fear, anger, pain, and mistreatment. It's all in the eyes, Chico, they never lie. These doggos have been through so much that it caused them to distrust humanity. Thankfully though, their new owners did some of God's greatest work and helped them regain strength, confidence, and trust.

"My husband and I rescued little Bowie off the streets of Guam. He was covering in ticks and burs and his back leg was broken presumably from being hit by a car. And he was only 2 months old! Now, he's 6 months old and lives in Hawaii with 6 humans that adore him. Rescue is beautiful."
