The deliberation between buying and adopting your dog child can be a tough one. Adopted dogggos do usually come with some sort of difficulty, considering that thye have been abandoned at one, or several points in their lives, and pure breeds just have that shiny sheen to them which just spews status wherever you go with them. So to help you make your decision we decided to show you what we think is the only thing that matters when considering the adoption of an abandoned pupper, and that is their glorious glow ups after they have been given a home that truly loves them.

The difference is truly astounding and a reminder that all of our four pawed pals deserve to experience the wonder of waking up one day and being freed from the fight for survival. So stop your pet search for just a few minutes, and give these inspiring pupper pics your attention, you never know, the answer to your dilemma might just end up staring you in the snout.

  • If we were in the 80s we might not have thought twice about this fluffy Fido being in poor shape. But considering that hair metal music and perms are no longer all the rage, it is rather clear to see that this darling doggo is in desperate need of a good hair cut.
