For every bad thing happening in the world, there are always good people trying to balance it out. Their gestures might not be as huge, but from a perspective of a pet getting adopted, that can be life-changing.
Every month we make a dedicated post to celebrate those animals who got lucky and found their forever homes, and this month is no different. Down below, you will find a gallery of fortunate pups and kittens who exude their joy with either peaceful naps or cheerful smiles, which we just can’t get enough of!
Besides brightening your day, we believe these stories can inspire others to consider adopting their future best friend. And if you have already adopted a pet before, don't forget to leave a comment sharing your story!

In a perfect world, we wouldn't have homeless pets. Unfortunately, the best we can do, besides adopting, is to donate to and support adoption centers.
There are many ways and programs you can choose to support in order to help reduce the number of helpless animals on the streets. One of them is the spay and neuter program. The biggest factor behind the existence of so many homeless pets is overpopulation, which can be greatly reduced if the pets are unable to procreate.

The New Baby
You can also directly sponsor an animal. By doing so, all of the funds will go toward food, supplies, or veterinary bills for the animal of your choice. This donation can and will alleviate some of the expenses of the animal shelter where the animal is currently living.
Besides donating, your help can be more proactive by organizing an adoption event or a fundraiser—anything goes, and every bit of help matters.

If you have time to spare, you can also volunteer. Shelters and rescue organizations are in constant need of people who can assist them in keeping up with the animals. There are many duties that volunteers can help with, such as cleaning, socializing with pets, taking dogs on walks, feeding, and volunteering as foster parents.

Going to be a beautiful long haired cat. Get him used to being brushed on a regular basis. Like a fun pre-bed time activity etc. He's going to be fluffy and it will keep him from getting matts and also keep hairball, "aaaccckkk" production down to a minimum.

Great name. Just make sure you keep him inside or leash train for outside so he doesn't go on any dangerous adventures by himself.

Definitely at ease. Can finally relax instead of keeping guard up around all those other strange animals. You're strange too but you come with nummy food, soft places to sleep and all the other things he will come to love.

Train her to love grooming time, make it fun time activity before bedtime or some such time. Brush regularly to keep matts from forming, keeps shedding to a minimum too. Sets up happy loving time instead of yucky traumatic stress.
