In the US, approximately 6.3 million companion animals enter shelters every year (of those, approximately 3.1 million are dogs and 3.2 million are cats). Some estimate that this number has declined from approximately 7.2 million in 2011.
To both celebrate the improvement and remind ourselves that we can still do better, we at Bored Panda are continuing our monthly series, showcasing the sweetest newly adopted pet pictures we can find.
Continue scrolling to meet the growing families, and for more feels, take a look at our earlier collections: September, August, July.

We Adopted Luna Last Week And She Had Her First Grooming Appointment Today. I'm Not Sure We Got The Same Dog Back

Rescued This Older Gal Recently
This is Molli. She’s 13 and this is the first time she snuggled with me like this since I got her
Loki’s Lil Butter Knife 3 years ago
What a sweet girl. Thank you for rescuing a senior dog and making their twilight years very happy ones.
Cara G 3 years ago
This morning one of our fellow pandas made a comment on another post that he had to say goodbye today to his Yorkshire Terrier who he rescued four months ago. Even though they shared a short time together (from a human perspective), she and Molli here have been given the greatest gift imaginable: love, comfort, warmth, and companionship to see them safely through the final steps of their lives. Rescuing a dog is a noble act but rescuing a geriatric dog is an extraordinarily special thing to do. ❤
In 2020 and early 2021, the world saw record pet adoption rates, providing happy tales when they were needed the most. But now, in 2022, many of our shelters are swamped again.
“Shelters who haven't had to euthanize in 10 or 15 years are having to again,” said Tammy Dodson, a long-time rescue advocate who coordinates rescue transports out of Wise County, Virginia, moving dogs and cats north to rescues and adopters via the Animal Rescue Coalition.

I Adopted The Shyest Cat At The Shelter And They Said He May Never Warm Up To Humans. We Are Doing Good
BlackestDawn 3 years ago
In many cases shy or even aggressive animals behave so due to the comparatively stressful environment of the shelter, and sometimes from past experiences and/or trauma. Once home and they get to know you and that environment most mellow out and can become really affectionate and loving. Unfortunately the reverse does exists though it's much rarer to my knowledge, and I believe in most cases it's due to the expectations of new owner.
Tess 3 years ago
I adopted an 8 month old kitten who had been feral her entire life. I had to fill out all these forms to even be able to see her. I got warnings from the shelter staff as I was trying to organise the appointment. Then warnings from three different staff as they walked me to the room, and prior to them bringing her in to the office in a carrier. She had never spent time in a home, or in contact with humans. She had been at the shelter for longer than any other animal. No one wanted anything to do with her. Even the shelter staff couldn't get near her. They brought her in. She was this tiny terrified little kitten cowering at the back of the carrier and hissing. The shelter staff were waiting for me to turn around and reject her. All I asked was when I could take her home. They were shocked, but told me that I could pick her up the next day after she was desexed. By the time we'd settled in at home, she was curled up fast asleep on my chest purring, and did the same every day after.

Most animals just need to be given a chance and some patience in a safe environment.
BluEyedSeoulite 3 years ago
My street cat who walked up to us and slept on my head the first night, refused to let us pet her for like 5 years. She'd want attention, love being scratched from behind, realize it was your hand and attack. Then she became the sweetest cat, very mellow even with my toddler! She still puts everyone in their place but is very vocal and nips gently.

Couldn't Decide Which To Adopt, So I Kept The Family Together & Adopted All 3
Heather Lambie 3 years ago
❤️❤️❤️❤️Thank you for doing that!! Black cats are the most difficult to find homes for and the first to be euthanized.
It’s not that a higher percentage of pandemic adoptions are resulting in returns. For example, the return rates for dogs have remained around 10 percent.
But 10 percent of recent adoptees will result in a much higher total number than in the years prior

Load More Replies... 
Dogs are being surrendered to shelters and rescues in record numbers. At Big Dog Ranch in Florida, they normally take in one owner surrender a day, but they’re currently taking about seven. It's a similar story at one shelter after another.
Some of these dogs are young purebreds purchased during the pandemic whose breed eccentricities or needs were too much for a new owner, but many are being given up because their owners can no longer afford them, or their work or housing situation has changed drastically.

However, not all is bad. Clear the Shelters 2022 wrapped up with some fantastic news: the campaign found homes for more pets than ever before.
According to a release from NBCUniversal Local, Clear the Shelters — a nationwide pet adoption and donation campaign — helped more than 161,500 pets find their forever families during 2022's program, which ran from Aug. 1-31. This is the highest single-year adoption total in the initiative's eight-year history.

My sister got her siamese from a hoarding issue. 6 kids, dogs, cats, a ferret that bit her at the base of her tail hard enough to leave permanent scars. Bad teeth, respiratory infection that wasn't taken care of so she'd hang off the heater to ease congestion. That is til she found the heating pad I was using when I injured my back. Underweight and timid the 9 lb kitty was trying to push my sister off her king sized bed and shoving her sister who was bigger around. Sitting on her head to make her leave jealous she was being petted. My sister's other cat a tortie was a barely old enough to be away from mom my sister found on the side of her house by her gas meter and she took her in. Next door tenants moved out and abandoned their cats resulting in feral cats living under the porch.

Major Tom Politely Requests Mew Keep A Smol Distance
I adopted this rescue kitty recently. He’s slowly letting me get closer and closer. He isn’t ready for pets and pats yet, but he’s warming to me and doesn’t hiss if I come near

Don’t worry. Keep loving Major Tom and he will be your cuddle Buddy really soon.

Meet My Recently Adopted Girl!
She was a breeder at a puppy mill and very sick when rescued. (now fat from steroids.) she's may be a mix with the short legs and flop ears, but has the bentley star and a gorgeous black and silver coat. After settling in she's now my shadow and the best girl ever!

Chihuahuas have tiny stomachs. About the size of a walnut. Just feed a little bit at a time and watch where you step. They can easily get under foot especially while you are cooking supper. Our little girl was playing ball with something on the ground. Turned out to be a raisin.

Just be careful if you allow him on your sofa, bed or any higher grounds places. They tend to jump and break/injure their tiny bones

Never ever ever abandon him! If anyone wants you to choose them or Lil Man, choose Lil Man. Fire, flood, save Lil man first.

Purrogi - Just Adopted This 10 Week Old Fuzz Ball
Kathryn Baylis 3 years ago
I think Purrogi loves you. When a cat closes their eyes while you let them, it’s a sign they trust you—-that the pet will not become a blow.

After the heartbreaking loss of my 10 year old calico, Abby; our newly adopted, ironically 10 year old calico named Chloe, fits our family perfectly. (The shelter was very happy we adopted her, as older kitties don't always get so lucky.) She was COVERED with matted hair, and acted nervous ALL the time. I dedicated myself to brushing and petting her for a minimum of half an hour every day, and instead of just having her shaved, she and I took on the process of brushing out her mats, one by one. It took three weeks of patiently coaxing the healthy undercoat free of the horrible mats, but now she is soft and fluffy! She's really a different cat, altogether. She zooms all over the house, and aggressively tells us when she wants to be petted, which is often. She's a snuggle bug who bed hops between my son's room and mine. I think we're the lucky ones.

I stole my neighbor's cat. It fell of the balcony and I just kept him. His name was Smurf. He decided that an old lady needed him more than I did and he's pretty happy now.

Why did you keep him? Did you tell his family he was safe?

Please, please be very cautious with your four pittie rescues. I noticed the crib in the picture. Each one can have it's own personality but when they all get together things can happen very quickly. Make sure you get a trainer that has experience with aggressive personality. Don't want to be the downer on this, it is just so important to do the right things from beginning.

Beware you don't get a switcheroo. I got a pair of "rescue kitties." I love them, but I'm pretty sure they're actually genetically engineered raccoons. Aren't cats supposed to be finicky? They eat meat diapers (OH NO!), candy wrappers, paper towels, anything they can get their adorable, grubby little mitts on. They stole a pork roast off the dinner table! Caught one trying to run off with a meat diaper, and he actually squared off and snarled at me. (I'm actually told it's the breed that is so, uh, "food-positive." He's* 3/4ths Russian Blue and his half brother.) (*Bad editing made it sound like I was calling him an "it," but "it" originally referred to his breed.)
