There’s something so magical about the moment a dog or cat realizes that it’s home with its family and it never has to leave. Who knows whether or not they really think in those terms, but looking at these 16 faces, there’s no doubt they know they’re loved.
There are thousands of pets waiting for homes, and more who will need their spots at the shelter, too. When you’re ready to add a new family member, adopt don’t shop!

Rescued two kittens from different litters & caught this moment just two days after bringing them home. We stopped worrying if they would bond or not after that. Fozzy (orange) & Arthur (Grey) been inseparable since!

6. How could she be overlooked for so long?
Suki was in care for 8 years before I adopted her, and I couldn’t love this little goblin more.
