50 Before & After Pics Show The Difference A Day Of Adoption Can Make To A Shelter Pet
Adopting a pet is a big responsibility, and it will often change the life of the person adopting the pet. It will also, however, absolutely change the life of the pet being adopted as well. These pictures will show you how much difference a single day can make in the life of a pet that has finally been adopted.
It may take a while for some of these pets to get back to proper nutrition, but the change in many of them is psychological, not physical. The look that appears on their face once they've realized that they're going to live in a new forever home is one that probably hasn't crossed their face in a very long time.
Needless to say, if you're thinking about getting a pet, please consider the pros and cons of adoption, too! But if you've already got a cute before-and-after adoptee, we'd love to see their shining face in this post!

Jesus! Some of these shelters look more like haunted maximum security prisons! some of these human prisons look better than the shelters. Should be the other way around! I love the dramatic contrast of the "after" pic - from innocent victim in a maximum security prison to the loving arms of her guardian where she'll be forever safe and loved. 💖

They are all sweet. It is clear they are finally being loved. I bet the owners' pictures would show a happier change too :)

True story... We adopted a rescue dog few months ago and after few days her face changed from "not interested in anything" to happy :-)

This makes me very happy, and makes us a better society reflected here, as how we treat our most vulnerable and those without a voice.

Who would be happy to live in a cage? All these friends need is love and a home. Of course they are happier now :D

Looking at each and every one of those pictures brought up such intense emotions - anger, sadness, horror. . .and then sheer joy, hope and satisfaction from the 'after' pics. I think it's CRUCIAL that we raise awareness about the plight of animals in children and adolescents. We cannot depend on the parents to teach it because half of them aren't aware or don't care. There needs to be programs in schools, cartoons/kids' shows/cartoons about rescuing animals etc. That's the only way we will see change in the future.
