It’s amazing to see the transformation that animals go through after they are adopted and given unconditional love.
In the before photos, you can see how dejected, sad, and depressed these dogs were. But the after pics? A completely different story. A 100% turnaround!
You might want to get a box of tissues because these photos are very sweet.
Here are 16 moving before and after pics of some lucky pooches.

6. Not scary at all.
No one wanted to adopt him because of his cropped ears and “scary” looking face. He had stopped eating at the pound and was severely underweight. Now Bronco is healthy, always smiling, and loved by everyone he meets.

10. A new lease on life.
Timmy was hit over the head with a blunt object by his racing trainer. After surgery to repair his broken skull, therapy to help him regain proper use of his legs and plenty of TLC he was rehomed and lived everyday to the fullest!

15. Look at this guy!
Our pug had a hard start to life. Raised by a trucker who couldn’t take care of him and get him the treatment he needed. Then a vet who didn’t diagnose him correctly. Now he’s a healthy stud-muffin!

16. Dex is a survivor.
This is Dex. He fought for his life after having been left for dead on the streets of Austin. After 10 weeks of being nursed back to health by Pug Rescue Austin, we were lucky enough to adopt him in our loving home.
