50 Most Wholesome Rescue Pet Photos Of The Month (December Edition)

This cat is a magic cat from a magic land, his other eye sees the other realm

Wow wow wow wow wow.Goose bumps.

In the second photo she is confident that whatever she's staring at is gonna meet its end very woon.

He really laid down the law.

I was told something similar about a 5 year old dog many years ago (I was told she had cancer and wouldn't make it). I adopted her anyway. She lived another 14 years with me.

Harrison Ford in canine form. It's in the smile.

This is one Bill you were happy to receive

Then you did everything right. Congratulations!

My cat did this when we went to see if we would adopt him. He came home with us and never climbed onto my shoulders again. Guess he wanted to tell me I was his chosen kitty slave.

i wish people who hurt animals all the bad things in the world! may their pants always pinch, may their sleeves always slide down into the water while they do the dishes and may they always have tiny stones in their shoes! may their glasses always be dirty right after they tried to clean them. may they never feel happy again!

The picture on the right <3

Ahhh! The big cold box where all the food lives! It’s magical!

I doubt a cat's behavior at a shelter very closely resembles how they'll behave in a forever home.

Cats choose you!

That's the best thing I've ever heard. :)

He's precious <3

Never thought I'd want to be attacked by a Zombie

Black cats are beautiful and people are stupid.

Poor pup had almost given up. You basically brought Remi back to life!

Old English bulldogs are just the best . I adopted one 2 years ago and she is just the biggest snuggle monster ever

Bella has a very sweet face.

He'll be happy and content in his senior years. All animals deserve this.

Much underappreciated are budgies, I had one for ten years and they have such great personalities.

What a heart melter.

Once bonded, they will fight to the death to defend each other.

i goona eat all of this

I have a breeding bitch that was shot in the head because the gang bangers didn't like her puppies. Luckily for her a wonderful police officer got her to a vet and she survived. Now she's my princess. Never found out what happened to the puppies.

This makes me cry. I socialize ferals that I tend in our local colony, and when one decides it is time to "come in out of the cold"... It's magical.

And they made themselves right at home.

I love feral kittens! Its like very patiently waiting to open your present but not knowing when you can.

Awww...what a handsome boy..!

Hi! Is this for real? Do I get to stay here forever and ever? Really? Wow! Awesome!

Best Christmas card ever.

I understand retired racers become total couch potatoes once adopted. Incredibly sweet and goofy couch potatoes. I love that.

Yeah. I don’t know why, but I think he’s pretty happy to be living with you.

I love this. There is video too.

Gizmo looks very dapper in his bow tie. And very happy to be spending his first Christmas with you!

Dunno why, but i hope the ginger is Thor and the smaller one Loki, that seems to fit better ;-)

Foster fails aren’t failures. They’re just love.

Thank you for giving this fur baby a home. Best. Christmas. Gift. Ever.

She has a look of, "I can't believe my luck!" in the first pic.

It’s called “The Happy Dance”!

Some people—-make that idiots instead—-need to consult the dictionary for the actual definition of rude, instead of making up their own. Then again, this cat is luckier to be with her than still with that other jerk.

Let me guess. You met the puppy and were immediately smitten. In. Deep. Smit.

Pitties have such a bad rep. They are wonderful pets. They fight because they are forced into fighting. The methods of "training" are horribly cruel.

I believe the feeling is mutual. She knows you saved her life, and she will always love you for it. You are her hero.

Our most recent rescue, Tabby, was dumped in our yard this past May. She was about 5-6 weeks old, weighed barely 1 lb, and was left there all by herself. And had the loudest meow. We heard her the night before we adopted her, but couldn’t find her. Next day, she started howling again, and we located her hiding behind a thick bush next to the chimney. Terrified. She clung to me for the first week, on my shoulder, hiding in my hair, sleeping on my neck every night. After that, she started wanting to explore the house, the other cats, and the dog (all of whom were also interested in meeting her and playing). She’d still stick close, but was curious and becoming more independent. She’s eight months old now, and fearless, feisty, playful, and still very sweet. She gives you kisses on your face if you hold her close. She blended with our other four-legged kids right away, and they all love each other very much.

Yes. Yes he is. Perfect in every way.

Rescued my dog straight off the street. Some kids playing nearby told me he was pushed out of a car not long before I came along. Between 3 and 5 years old (vet’s best guess), starving, no collar or chip, hair mats over an inch thick all down his back, toenails so long they were crossing over each other, and not neutered. That was almost 10 years ago. Scruffy is now fat, happy, fixed, and totally in love with us and his pack of 4 cats.

Bright doesn’t matter. The goofier the better.

Every cat is a bit odd. Their own brand of odd. And it’s wonderful.

Ya think? I think!

What a beautiful little—-permanent—-new friend!

She looks high quality to me!

Bonded immediately. Bestest buddies for life!

Adopt a friend for Eggy and call them Toast. Then adopt a piglet and call them Bacon. Then every time you feed them you can say, “Breakfast is ready”! (I’ll just duck out the back door now...)

Eevee’s name is a palindrome!

What a doll.

And at least part human. Annie's nest is gorgeous.

The perfect gift for Christmas! Both ways.

And Charli knows he’s going home!

Sweet bundle of fur babies!

I had a six month old kitten die too. She was being spayed, but we didn’t know she had an underlying heart condition and couldn’t take the anaesthesia. Broke my heart. That was almost 5 years ago now. Her name was Monkey, and she was a sweet little clown. I had been looking forward to watching her silly antics for the a good 20 years.

Yes, he can finally take it easy in his golden years. You’re his hero.

Yep. Looks like it. All four of our cats were rescues too. Just walked right into our hearts and took up permanent residence. We were chosen.
