Every animal deserves to have a home. And every person deserves to have a loyal furry companion. In the U.S. alone, 66% of households own a pet. Having a pet can have a positive effect on one's health as well. Pet owners have more opportunities to exercise, spend time outside, and socialize.

And what's a better endorsement of adopting a rescue pet than seeing how their fellow ex-rescues are currently doing in their forever homes? Because it's once again that time of the month when we're presenting you with the most adorable and heartwarming pictures of pets who recently found a new home.

Bored Panda reached out to Tricia Montgomery, a pet industry expert and one part of the Pets Are Family podcast duo. We spoke to her about why it might be better to adopt than to get a pet from a breeder, what future owners should know before adopting, and how to ensure that your new best friend feels at home in their new forever home.

My husband was allergic as a kid, never could have one, he found it weird as an adult not having allergies going to a friends house ( he didn’t know they had one) until he befriended a stray that followed him everyday meowing at him, he was so in love with her, ( pictured) he just couldn’t believe all that he missed not having one due to the allergies

    I have to admit I may have never "picked out" a black cat from the shelter, as I am partial to tuxedoes (my first cat was a tux.) But eight years ago, a tiny black cat adopted ME by walking in through the door of our family business's office! She had a collar on, but no tag, and no microchip. I put up flyers around the office and in the nearby vets and shelters that I'd found a stray kitten, but no one came forward. There was no question about taking her to the shelter - she was my girl forever :) I can't believe I ever thought that black cats were hard to photograph! kohl_kohl_...2a5fd7.jpg kohl_kohl_jelly_roll-66300db2a5fd7.jpg

    We’re in luck because pet expert Tricia Montgomery recently adopted her new four-legged best friend: a one-year-old Labrador and Catahoula hound mix from Raskal Rescues in Hardeeville, South Carolina. Tricia is a proponent of the 'Adopt, Not Shop' philosophy, and she likens pet adoption to a 'hero's journey.' "[It's] challenging but oh-so-rewarding, without the constant glow of rainbows and unicorns," she says.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Why does she personally opt to adopt and not shop? "It's like a rescue mission!" Tricia says. "Adopting a pet is like being part of your own adventure story where you get to be the hero. Sure, buying a pet might seem like the easy route, but adopting? That's where you make a big impact."

    Tricia points out that it's also not about the owner and the adopted pet directly. "Every pet adopted from a shelter frees up space for another animal in need, directly saving lives and fighting against the crisis animal welfare is facing and overcrowded shelters." And let's not forget the self-esteem boost adopting can give the owner. "It's your chance to show off your superhero cape!" Tricia gushes.

    While Tricia encourages more people to adopt, she says that folks should do so with caution. After all, it's a living breathing being you're taking into your home. Let's continue thinking about adopting as an adventure. "Imagine you're preparing for a quest," Tricia begins. "First, you'd check your gear, right? Well, preparing to adopt a pet is similar."

    "Do a lifestyle check. Do you have enough space? Enough time? Can you handle the extra expenses for your companion's food, health, and toys? It's not just about having a heart full of love; it's about making sure you're ready to provide a forever home. Prep your home like you would a fortress—safe and welcoming," Tricia explains.

    With owning a new pet comes new challenges. In some cases, the newcomer might be a new addition to the already-established pet family. In my family, two of our shelter dogs had to get used to living with two cats, who considered themselves the kings of the house. In other cases, a rescue might be the first pet for the household, and that comes with its own challenges as well.

    "Maybe it's potty training, or perhaps it's adjusting your new pal to their new abode. Your new furry friend might have some trust issues or hidden fears," Tricia points out. "The trick? Patience, young grasshopper. Patience and maybe some training and treats."

    "Consistency is your best tool; regular training, health check-ups, and lots of love will help you both level up. If you hit a snag, don't go [at] it alone—seek out a trainer or a vet like a wise old guide," Tricia recommends.

    Thank you for taking her in and giving her and her offspring a chance at life and love. Sadly, for female cats, reproducing can start as early as 14 - 16 weeks. They can "fall" again before a litter is weaned. Desexing as early as 8 weeks is perfectly safe and will help slow the number of unwanted, unloved and dumped pregnant cats and kittens.

    Having kittens is so much fun. My family always had cats growing up and it seemed like we had kittens about once a year. It's so much fun watching their little eyes open and see them totter around on their unbalanced legs!

    But don't let the warnings put you off adopting a new furry friend. Tricia has a reminder for those who are looking to become new pet parents. "Remember, while the path of adoption might not always be lined with rainbows and unicorns, the rewards—unconditional love, countless snuggles, and the pride of making a huge difference—are epic!"

    My boyfriend is severely allergic to cats and dogs. But when we met, I had a cat and a GSD. I kept things very clean (vacuuming, brushing, and each room had an air purifier) and after some time, he built up a tolerance to my cat and dog. Right now, 23 years later, we live together and we have two cats AND two dogs! He still gets allergic symptoms if we don't keep on top of the cleaning, and seems to have a stronger reaction to our shorthair cat than to our longhair cat, but it's possible to build up a "tolerance" to an individual cat's dander!

    The animal shelter overcrowding issue Tricia talks about is very real. The Animal Shelter Count reports that the total number of animals who entered shelters in the U.S. in 2023 was around 6.5 million, and around 4.8 million found a new home. But the number of stray dogs people ask shelters to take in has increased since 2022 by 6%. Compared to 2021, that's up by 22%.

    Some people blame the pandemic for such an increase. The surge in adoptions at the beginning of the lockdown also resulted in an increase in pet population. Usually, it increases by about 1% per year, but in the years 2020 and 2021, it was 6% and 4%, respectively. People also started bringing "pandemic puppies" to shelters simply because they weren't ready for the commitment after the pandemic was over.

    Yet animal advocates point out that it's also rising pet care costs and housing insecurity that drive this crisis. Kim Alboum of the Bissell Pet Foundation told PBS that economic factors also come into play. "With the housing crisis, people are losing their homes and are having to downsize or move in with others. And this is a recipe for disaster for people [who] have larger dogs."

    Our eleven month old rescue Jack Russell was scared of everything. She did not make a sound for two months and tried to hide. Now she has a bark twice her size and loves to do zoomies and sleep between us.

    Experts also say that the overcrowding at shelters is more of a dog problem than a cat problem. Executive Director of Shelters Animals Count Stephanie Filer told TIME that many shelters started turning dogs away simply because they don't have more space.

    "Shelters are quite literally at crisis and some of them are making the decision to close their doors or reduce hours of operation or reduce the kind of animals that they bring in."

    I've had GSDs and grew up around them. I love the breed. Loyal to a fault, they tend to have "A" person who they will literally lay down their life for. They are fierce protectors of children who they consider their "pups". They have a natural instinct for "smelling/scenting" a threat to their, for want of a better word, litter, and they will absolutely protect to the best of their abilities. They need a lot of exercise and activities to stimulate their brain, they are incredibly intelligent creatures. Enjoy your beautiful canine companion.

    One must always remember to mention that the breed name is ACTUALLY the "German Shedder Dog" ;) My heart-dog was a GSD. I still miss her terribly. I love the breed as well. One of my current dogs is half GSD and I have to vacuum him regularly XD Luckily he loves it!

    What a beautiful dog. My family inherited two senior GSD when my aunt suddenly died, Gunther and Nina. Nina was never right after her human died and passed away very soon after we got them. You could see Gunther grieving his person and his sister. Incredibly sweet dogs.

    My grandpa had Thunder. He was the best dog ever (until Tucker). He put up with preschoolers riding him like a pony, braiding his tail, being slept on. He never once growled or bit.

    Dogs know when someone is a threat. I've had two dogs - (at different times) who would sense Something - they'd get between me and them and not stop growling. These guys were usually best friends with anyone they met... I was so pleased with them.

    Intelligent to a fault but also goofy. They are lovely creatures that need lots of exercise and especially love.
