Power Of Love: 25 Before And After Photos Of Doggos That Went From Straying To Staying (August 26, 2022)

Heyo, pup heads, and happy Friday! This week is finally coming to an end so we're back again with our weekly Power of Love segment where we highlight the top before and after photos of doggos that were adopted into furrever homes. If we really think about it, there's nothing we love more than a good adoption story. One where the weak and skinny doggo with the biggest heart gets rescued by the best family possible. If it were completely up to us, then adoption wouldn't even be a thing because no doggos would be abandoned. But unfortunately, that's not the reality we live in today.

So as we celebrate these doggos and their gotcha day, we want to remind everyone about the importance of adopting, instead of shopping. There are millions of furry friends in need in shelters all over the world. Every single one of them deserves a happily ever after so why not give it to them?
