There’s hardly a better time to be a Bored Panda reader than when one month ends and another begins. That’s because it’s time for another of our wholesome lists of the cute pets that were rescued over the past month, finally found their forever homes, and won over the hearts of their new family members. Honestly, it’s the best part of the month for me because I know how happy adopted pet pics make you, dear Pandas.
So go on, fill yourself up with some soul-healing good vibes to match the brilliant sunshine outside. Don’t forget to upvote your fave pics and we’d absolutely love to hear all about how you met your pets—so tell us about them in the comments.
Meanwhile, however happy rescuing pets might make us and them feel, you can’t deny that the whole adoption process can be stressful, as there’s a major lifestyle shift for the animals who may have been abused before. We had a chat about how to recognize the signs of stress and help our pets deal with it with the friendly team at the PDSA, the UK’s leading vet charity. Pssst—when you’re done, you’ll find some more fluffy cuddles in our earlier rescue pets posts here: May, April, and March.

Thank you all you beautiful, wonderful people who adopt not shop! All my cats over the years were strays and they blessed our family.
Give them lots of love and treats, too. They deserve it.
Load More Replies...Not to be a downer, but car safety is a thing and dogs should be secured on travels even if it looks adorable with them hanging out on the seats and all.
Agree. Zoe has a full harness seat belt. Takes a bit to put it on her and click it in, but it's so worth the trouble. I work at home so it's comforting to hear nails walking across the floor or hear her jump on the bed. I feel like a body part is missing when she's not around.
