Pets are those friends who are always around you. They'll never leave your side, even if you don't want company.

They'll patiently wait for you to overcome your sadness, meanwhile trying to comfort you, watching you with their big eyes and cuddling with their cute snouts. We really need them, but they also need us.
That unconditional love is beneficial for both pets and humans. But, under certain circumstances, pets can end up on the streets or, if they are lucky enough, in shelters.
Millions of animals sit in shelters until their new buddy arrives. So, if you are looking for a pet, don't forget to look at the shelters first.
You'll surely find your new best friend there. Animals from shelters also need love and a new lovely home, and you could be the one to give them a comfortable and relaxing life.
Adopted animals are very grateful, they'll appreciate your effort and goodwill, and the connection between you will develop faster. They know best what love and friendship mean, and in no time you'll see it for yourself.
This post is about the immense happiness of adopted pets. People who decided to give them a second chance brought them back pawsitivity and their natural brightness.
We have collected 51 photos of adopted and rescued animals to infect you with their happiness and soothe your soul. Prepare yourself for an avalanche of positive feelings and enjoy.
