If you’ve ever adopted a pet, you’ve probably visited your local animal shelter. The amount of animals who are without homes or have been surrendered is absolutely heartbreaking. According to the ASPCA, 6.5 million animals each year enter the United States’ animal shelters with 3.3 million of these pets being dogs, and 3.2 million being cats. Even sadder, 1.5 million animals are euthanized each year due to the overcrowding of shelters.
However, approximately 3.2 million animals each year are adopted from local animal shelters. There is truly nothing more heartwarming as when these homeless animals finally find their forever home.
Check out our best 75 before and after photos that show just amazing these pet’s transformations really are.
1. Sweetie Pittie
This adorable pittie when from sad to glad. We’re so happy this owner captured her transformation for the world to see.
This kitty went from what looks like a rough life, judging by that boo-boo on his nose, to living a high life of luxury. We’re so happy that this poor kitty finally found a safe loving home.
It’s not often that you read about a fish being rescued and given a better life – but it’s definitely a refreshing and new story. Thankfully this beta got a chance at a new life with a beautiful aquarium all to himself.
This poor dog had a dangerous case of mange that thankfully his new owner’s were able to get under control. This dog’s transformation is completely shocking.
It’s amazing how some love and care can completely transform animals into bright and happy pets. We’re so happy that this little sick kitten got the help she needed in the nick of time.
This little pup looked like he had a really rough go of it and was rescued right when he needed it most. Thankfully he found a happy home and a safe place to heal.
It’s common for animals to come to their local shelters in bad conditions and in need of serious medical help. It’s a good thing that this pup got the help he needed and a loving home.
Although slightly less common, many pets are found just wandering the streets when they get rescued before the local shelters have a chance to pick them up.
There aren’t many rescue stories about hamsters, but this one is definitely one for the books. This hamster just looked like skin and bones before his rescue.
Losing an ear won’t keep this rabbit from loving his new life. It’s much harder for animals with disabilities to get adopted – if you’re considering adopting, please be sure to consider some of these special furry friends.
It’s amazing what a thorough bath can do for a dog. This pup looks totally different and much much healthier thanks to his new family and a serious deep clean.
57. So Elegant, Very Cat
This little kitten became undoubtedly the queen of her new house and rules the roost.
58. Fresh New Digs
We are absolutely digging this dog’s glow-up and her fresh style.
59. Excited to finally be home!
Have you ever notices that some dogs look like they’re about to start talking? We bet this dog would say thanks to his loving and generous owners.
Rough collies are another dog breed that has a special place in my heart. It’s so great to see this dog living her best life after going through such hardhsip.
61. That Sweater!
Normally, I’m not a fan of dogs in clothes, but that little sweater so so cute.
Did you know there are nearly 400 million stray dogs in the world? It’s such a heart-breakingly high number, but it’s so wonderful for even one dog find a new home.
Adopting a pet is always a big responsibility, but if you think that you might be able to provide a safe loving home to an animal, please visit your local shelter. There are countless animals, either who have been strays or been abandoned, who need stable fur-ever homes.
We hope this brightened your day, and please don’t forget to share your favorite transformations!
