It’s the beginning of yet another month and you know perfectly well what that means! We at Bored Panda have wrapped up a new collection of the most heartwarming photos of rescue pets floating online to share with you all. After all, around 6.3 million animals enter shelters any given year in the US alone. And while approximately 4.1 million get taken in, every single one of our four-legged companions deserves a chance at a loving home.
So let’s kick off the summer on the right foot by taking a moment to applaud the heroes who opened up their hearts and provided these goofballs with comfy beds, nutritious meals, and loving families. Luckily for us, the rescuers didn’t waste a second sharing pictures of their newly adopted adorable kittens, fluffy puppies, or other neglected souls celebrating their new forever home.
So continue scrolling to enjoy the images and upvote the ones that made you smile the widest! After you’re done, there are a lot more soul-soothing pics to catch up with, so be sure to check out our earlier pieces on this feature: April, March, and February.
