Power Of Love: 34 Photos Of Doggos Before And After They Were Rescued (August 19, 2022)

Heyo, pup heads, and happy Friday! Our favorite day of the week is finally here and you guys know what that means! It's time for our weekly Power of Love segment where we shine a light on the top before and after photos of adopted doggos. Every time we do this segment, we get reminded about all the good there is in the world. Don't get us wrong, most of these doggos were abandoned by horrible people, but what's important is that love will always win.

The doggos in the before photos are terrified of their surroundings and have no idea of what's to come. But the after photos tell a completely different story. You can just see how much the doggos changed as soon as they got a little bit of love, care, and attention. And when the moment comes, we're sure they'll give back the same. There's nothing more magical than an adopted doggo showing his first signs of trust.

"don't have many pre-adoption photos, but we adopted him in 2011 and he's about 12 years old now. i think the grey hair makes him more handsome :)"
That is one handsome little fella! Not so little, but forever a baby. Adopt, don't shop!
