21 Pictures Of Pets Before And After Being Adopted
I don't know about you, but whenever I need to feel something, I run over to the "BeforeNAfterAdoption" subreddit where families are encouraged to share photos of their rescued animals. Here are pets whose lives have been forever changed by a good home:
These two dogs were found locked inside a cage amongst trash.
A new family stumbled upon them, freed them, and gave them a home.
Before and after:
This little one was found dirty and barely moving.
A little medicine, and she's a whole new cat.
Before and after:
This is Tabsi. She had been hit by a car and badly injured before rescue.
This is her now!
Before and after:
Vets were not initially confident in this kitty's survival.
But he's thriving!
Before and after:
This pup was close to starving.
Now he's well fed and beyond loved.
Before and after:
This is Flynn, a scrappy street cat.
His owner says that now, Flynn has undergone a "10/10 glow-up."
Before and after:
"Lots of love (and some food of course) can heal 🤍," this dog's owner captioned their photo.
And they're so right!
Before and after:
Adonis arrived at a shelter with a cauliflower ear and a damaged shoulder.
Now he's named after the titular, fighting character from Creed.

Angela joined her family with a serious need of a groomer.
Just look at her now!
Before and after:
Merlin started as a dumpster cat.
But he's living the good life now.

Now he loves cuddles, long walks, playing with his toys, and enjoying a good meal.
Before and after:
Like some of our other friends, Stuart was previously underfed.
But he's got more than enough now.
Before and after:
Mochi was found in a box outside of a Walmart.
And his owners fell head over heels in love.
Before and after:
This kitty's owner said, "The moment [he] arrived in [his] forever home, everything changed. [He] curled up for the first real nap of [his] life — warm, safe, and loved."
"Now [he's] got a fluffy coat, a full belly, lots of cuddles, and a human who calls [him] 'the most perfect boy in the universe.'"
Before and after:
This pup was found tied to a chain.
Now, he'll never be chained again.

Now she's a playful kitty who purrs a ton.
Before and after:

He's gained eight healthy pounds since being rescued.

Sophie was living in an over-cramped house full of 40 other cats.
Now she gets all the one-on-one attention she deserves.

Before and after:
Mr. Beans was a bit timid at first...
...but he's got a huge personality now.

Eight weeks later, and he couldn't be better!
