Power of Love: 29 Before And After Photos Of Adopted Doggos (August 5, 2022)

Happy Friday, pup heads! How is everyone doing? We hope we caught you in a good time. In the true spirit of Friday, we're back with our weekly Power of Love segment where we highlight the top before and after photos of doggos that were adopted into forever homes. This segment is incredibly important to us for several reasons.

Most importantly, it affirms the crucial message 'adopt, don't shop'. Many times, people say they want to get a dog but only if the dog is a 100% pure breed, costs thousands of dollars, and fits every single unreasonable expectation they set for the dog. And when things go slightly unexpected, they decide that dogs are not for them so they dump him at the animal shelter or even worse, on the street. So next time you're thinking of getting a dog, consider adopting one of the thousands of abandoned doggos in your local shelter.

"Hecate was a stray that I immediately fell in love with. The timing of her finding me was synchronistic in a sense; I was struggling and lonely and I needed her- I just didn't know it yet.????"
Sounds like the perfect match to us!
