There’s nothing better in the world than a dog, cat, or other pet who has been at a shelter for way too long finding a new, loving home. We all hate the stories of how animals are abused or abandoned, or otherwise find themselves in caged purgatory through no fault of their own.
Well, actually, there might be one thing better – getting to see how different they look after some love and a haircut.
These 13 pets got adopted and just wait until you see the glow-ups.

It has taken 2 years since we adopted her, but Reba has dropped more than half her weight and I couldn’t be more proud of her.

4. Y’all, this fluffy sweetheart.
Look at those ears!
Last July a stray kitten came into my office, looked at me like “you are my human”, so I adopted her. Today, this happened. Guess now I’m an owner of another good girl.
