Pets need us, and we need them. Every single one of these critters deserves a chance at a loving family, a comfy bed, and a belly full of nutritious food. But unfortunately, there are millions of lonely animals sitting in shelters, waiting for their new heroes to open their doors (as well as their hearts!) and save them from hardship.
It’s truly amazing to see how much a little love can change the life of a neglected and abandoned pet. So our animal-loving team here at Bored Panda wants to celebrate these lovely misfits and the rescuers who invited them into their forever homes. We continue our monthly feature filled with undeniably heartwarming pictures of recently adopted companions that are bound to melt your heart away.
Let’s restore our faith in humanity and give a round of applause to pets who got the care they deserve, shall we? Enjoy scrolling through this soul-healing list and upvote the pictures you enjoyed most! Keep reading to also find an in-depth interview with Sally Chamberlain, a UK-based clinical animal behaviorist. And if you wish to catch up with the series, be sure to check out our previous pieces right over here: May, April, and March.
