Howdy, animal fam. It's a good thing we're a sucker for a happy ending, otherwise these posts could get pretty sad. The number of animals that are put into ruff situations because of irresponsible (or just downright bad) hoomans is far too many, but we always try to look on the pawsitive side of life. Sure, there are a lot of bad eggs out there, but there are also a lot of wholesome heroes who step up to teach these animals that not all hoomans are bad. In fact, some of them are angels without wings.

After being dumped at the ER by his previous owners for being "ugly," this puppy was having a ruff time. He was rescued thanks to an animal welfare organization who helped him heal and got him into a foster home, full of love, laughs, and belly rubs. He's slowly learning to trust again, and we have to say that his glow up turned him into quite the cutie! Chance is available for adoption, if any of you are interested. Watch the video below to see his terrific transformation!

  • Oh, this poor baby. He looks like he tried to play with a bee, and the bee won! There should be some sort of punishment for doing this kind of thing to doggos. Animals deserve to be treated with kindness and love just like any other being on this planet. When will people start to learn this?

  • Look how handsome he is without all of that extra snout! He looks pawsitively ravishing, and we have to say that if you don't adopt him right this second, we're going to drive however many hours necessary to go add him to our fluffy family. He looks like a snuggle bug, and we could always make space for one more cutie in our cuddle puddles every evening.
