We’ve been swooning over the lovely rescue and adoption stories of our four-legged companions, witnessing their lives transformed. Nothing warms the hearts of humans like reading about a dog or cat who was adopted and is now happy in its new home. All of these stories have the capacity to restore your faith in humanity and demonstrate the transformative power of love when they are done right. If you’re looking for stories that will make you both cry and laugh, this is the place to find them. Even if you’re ready to give up on humanity, an adoption story can restore your faith in the goodness of others.
