50 Times People Adopted Pets From A Shelter And It Was Their Best Decision Ever (January Edition)
If there's one thing young people are doing right, it's pet ownership. Because Gen Z is delaying parenthood, more become pet parents instead. In fact, seven in 10 Gen Z adults say they'd rather have a pet than a child. They're also almost twice as likely as other generations to adopt instead of shop.
Loads of different pets get adopted each month, and we here at Bored Panda have a tradition of sharing the cutest animals that found their forever home every month. This January, we've got a collection from proud pet owners who rescued, adopted from a shelter, or inherited a pet that's now their best friend for life.

I Adopted A 20 Year Old Cat Today, My Oldest Animal Ever. Say Hello To Donut!
Luis Hernandez Dauajare 11 months ago
Bless for adopting a senior. Time with you might not be long, but it will be plentiful. Thank you!
doredde 11 months ago
I thought so too, when I adopted Moses with 18 years. He died with 26, peacefully just drifting away in my arms. He never had to go to the vet. It was such a good time with this old man.

Senior cats are the BEST to adopt. They slowly warm up to you and when they realise they are home for good, they get SO affectionate. My 2 current cats were adopted at 12 and 14 and they are amazing, cuddly and so gentle.

Rescued A Puppy During My Route And Brought Him Home In A Tote
HTakeover 11 months ago
Utterly exhausted. OP came across him being attacked by a pack of dogs. OP got him in a tote and finished his delivery route before taking him home. Said poor pup was scratched up, malnourished, and covered in fleas & mud.

Those who adopt their pets from shelters are really doing great work. It might seem that rescue animals have never been so popular, but animal shelters are still overcrowded and the rescue dog and cat populations, unfortunately, have never been higher.
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), somewhere around 6.5 million enter shelters each year. Out of those, only 4.1 million get adopted (around 2 million dogs and 2.1 million cats). Those who don't find their forever home either are euthanized, pass away from illnesses or old age, or keep waiting their turn for years to come.

I Get To Spend His Whole Life With Him :)
Marsha Hultberg 11 months ago
Love 'I get to'! Yep, it's a privilege. A handsome boy indeed. 'Nearly' crosseyed. I winning feature in my book!
But wait, aren't there shelters that don't euthanize their animals and let them live out their lives until old age even if they don't get adopted? Of course, there are, and two states, Delaware and New Hampshire, have laws stating that all their shelters have to save the animals that enter them.
However, if we look at the broader picture, many animals still meet their end even in shelters. In 2023, for example, shelters all over the U.S. euthanized around 690,000 dogs and cats. In 2024, a part-timer from the Mendocino Coast Humane Society shelter wrote that sometimes, owners request euthanasia. Other times, it's inevitable due to behavioral problems or sickness and injury.

Not Sure What Kinda Dog He Is But Meet Pawl, Recently Got Him From The Shelter (:
Marsha Hultberg 11 months ago
He looks like a perfect mix 👌🏼 Terrier face and other great ingredients.
Nearly one in five Americans adopted a pet during the pandemic, and, for quite a while, there was a myth floating around that many of those pets were returned to shelters after the lockdown was over. In a 2021 study, researchers explained that more dogs and cats returned to shelters than during economically stable times. It's important to note they concluded that "pets were not being rehomed in massive numbers."

Baby Nyx
LakotaWolf (she/her) 11 months ago
It's unlikely she is an actual purebred Manx, especially if she was adopted from a shelter. It is more likely that the bobbed tail is a de novo mutation or other congenital defect.
Load More Replies... Some people were no longer able to take good care of the pets they picked up from the shelter during the pandemic. Many lost their jobs and faced other financial difficulties, and some pet owners may be hesitant to say why they're relinquishing their pet out of shame or fear of being judged.

SE Smith from the Mendocino Coast Humane Society lists the complex reasons why more people are giving up their pets. "It's gotten harder to access and afford vet care, while emergency extensions of the social safety net, including increased Snap benefits, expansions to Medicaid, childcare assistance, the student loan pause, the child tax credit and generous unemployment insurance benefits have come to an end, leaving people in financial precarity that hurts pets too."

I Took Reddit’s Advice And It Was The Best Decision
Mimi M 11 months ago
"A while ago i was struggling with Miu Miu (brown tabby) kept biting us. He would played for a bit then went into crazy biting mode. I looked to Reddit for help and saw someone recommended to get another cat for him. We adopted CoCo from our local shelter about 5 months ago. Now they’re inseparable! Miu Miu stops biting us super hard. They cuddle every chance they get, eat together, play all day, and then sleep together. I’m so glad I took the advice and give my cat a new best friend!"
How can we combat the overcrowding of animal shelters? Most advocates say that spaying/neutering pets is the most important step. Whether done by individual pet owners or at animal shelters (which rarely have the resources for that), it's the best way to prevent the populations of dogs and cats from getting out of control.

Just Adopted My First Cat!
According to the Kansas Humane Society, spaying and neutering was an elective procedure during the pandemic. Its CEO Cemily Hurst said, "While we're already living on the brink of overpopulation, nothing was getting spayed and neutered for a little over a year and a half I think, so now we're seeing the results of that." This resulted in a 30%-40% increase in domestic animals.

The Oklahoma Alliance for Animals also encourages owners not to intentionally breed their pets. "Every puppy or kitten sold or given away by an owner that breeds their pet means there is one more shelter animal that will not find a home," they write. There are enough animals in the country (and the world!) who already need homes.

If you already have a pet, commit to them for life. Ideally, plan the finances and the logistics of owning a pet before you get one. Then, be sure they will be taken care of if something happens to you, the owner. A new home for a pet should mean a forever home, so, make sure that your new pet is your life companion!

The food labelled senior cats is reinforced with nutrients and have a bit less calories. This being said, give a cat his normal diet and they will live long life. Just don't give them meal leftovers!

I'm a foster mom and have one now that wouldn't come out from under the bed. A few times every day, I go in, lay down next to the bed where she can see me, close my eyes, and talk to her softly. Doesn't matter what I say, I just want her to hear my voice while not being scared that I'm staring at her. This morning, when I was putting the food out right next to the bed, she poked her head out and let me pet her a few times before going back under. Progress is being made.

Currently have three cats, all rescues - Aurora, silver Bengal, from a sanctuary that rescued her from a woman that had over 50 cats locked in small cages in her garage.

Gizmo lived in the garden for about 6 years before he decided to get brave and move into the house about 2 years ago, and he has stayed ever since. And finally Raiden, who escaped from another ex-neighbour who used to allow his children to pull him about, and who also went on holiday for two weeks and just locked Raiden in the house with a pile of cat biscuits for food. Had two other cats as well that we have lost - Jiji a little black void who turned up on the doorstep looking like a little soot (sadly run over by a car and killed), and Greebo who arrived on the doorstep all skin and bones after being thrown out by an ex-neighbour for peeing on their kitchen floor (no, they didn't have a litter tray!), sadly lost due to liver cancer.
