These Funny Animals Found Themselves In The Most Unexpected Situations While At The Shelter

The animal shelter is not a place that we typically associate with joyful moments and silly mischief, but even the dogs and cats who are waiting for their permanent homes can have some fun. After all, when their bellies are full and sleep is tight, why not give the animal rescue caretakers a little extra work and well-meaning tricks to deal with.

It’s no surprise that the usual suspects to your local animal shelter's good times are cats, but dogs and even random sheep and goats weigh in with their share. From felines seeking the adopter's attention with elaborate bios and dogs befriending goats on their runaway trips to various funny animals stuck in the most unimaginable places ever, the fluffy companions seem to keep their good spirits while waiting for their humans. And thankfully, there's always someone to snap these funny photos with perfect timing.

So if you’re ready for some cute animals, scroll down to check our compilation of pets making the most of their time while at the animal shelter. Don’t forget to comment and vote for the most unexpected animal pictures!
