May is almost over, so Bored Panda has put together another list of adorable animal adoption photos. After all, Good Samaritans from all over the world keep saving kittens, puppies, and other critters from a miserable life on the streets or at shelters, so celebrating their new family additions is the least we can do, right?
Continue scrolling to check out the images and be sure to check out our April, March, February, and January articles if you've fallen behind on the series!

This Cat Was Abandoned And This Is His Photo Minutes After Being Rescued
This is one of the saddest things ever. I hope he's in a good home now and being loved like he should be.
Even though some rescues have been seeing an unprecedented number of foster applications, people shouldn't get a pet just because of the lockdown. The coronavirus pandemic won't last forever, and adopting an animal is a big responsibility.
Kayla Fratt, a certified dog behavior consultant and owner of Journey Dog Training, recommended thinking through these questions before adopting a doggo.
- How much time will you have to care for a dog, now and post-pandemic?
- Do you have the funds to adopt right now? Do you have job security or extra savings to cover unforeseen pet-related expenses?
- How much space do you have for a dog? Does your current housing situation allow for pets?
- How much time and energy are you willing to commit to training a dog?
- Consider your lifestyle. Do you want a dog that can run miles with you every day? Or are you looking for a less active dog that will be content skipping walks here and there?
The same questions can be applied to other animals as well.
This Is My Quarantine Cat, Ahsoka, I Adopted Her To Help Manage Her Anxiety And Prevent Her Going To The Humane Society. I Was Told She Would Hide All Day And Generally Avoid People. After About 3 Hours Of Being At My Place I Felt A Tapping On My Arm
Not really, my cat does it to me too and she has, food, water, and after she just got her daily treats.
Load More Replies...my fluffy older 12 yr old cat did that starting a few days after we adopted her at age 10. it is super cute!
Anecdotally, some shelters are even having a hard time filling up with new animals they can pair with potential owners. “We simply aren’t able to intake enough animals with the three closed county shelters not taking stray animals and what appears to be a decrease in owner surrenders during this time,” Patricia Kennedy, the executive director of City Dog Rescue in Washington, DC, told DCist.
Uncontrollable Tippy-Taps Right Before Adoption
Perfectly reasonable question! When I last adopted a rescue dog they did - a large tag that had the name of the dog and the name of the rescue centre (and contact details). In the UK dogs must be tagged as well as microchipped in case they get lost and that's probably the case for many countries - I hope so anyway.
Load More Replies...That’s a Lab for you. Their only mission in life is to make their owner happy.
The pandemic has reminded us a lot about our pets. They stave off loneliness, and living with animals helps us to be more active, even if we are talking about basic tasks, such as cleaning the litter box or filling food bowls. Most importantly, our companions comfort us, and the presence of a dog or a cat can very well be the only thing between isolation and despair.
Yesterday I Adopted A Kitten But I Think They Gave Me A Meerkat

Gently rub around the ears, back of head, chin...slow gently, cat will let you know which is ok.

We Adopted A Pair Of Kittens Today. My Husband Was A Little Worried About How They'd Do With Our Dog.. He's No Longer Concerned.
I love seeing cats and dogs cuddling together. One of my dogs is a very anxious rescue and he wouldn't do well with cats - he's scared of so much.
9 years ago, we rescued 3 kittens, one of the kittens was adopted by a little elderly lady called jean as a pal for her Rhodesian Ridge Back dog, he was a rescue and was terrified of everything. Within days of being adopted, Mo (the kitten) was playing and sleeping and eating with his new pal without a worry in the world.

dude we finally have a protector! Im so happy I finally have two to blame!♡ hahaha
Khemjira Klongsanun Found An Abandoned Puppy On The Road Side In Thailand Whilst Running A Marathon, Carrying It For 19 Miles To The Finish Line And Adopting It. That Puppy Is Now All Grown Up!
Look how much he grew while she was carrying him during the marathon! (kidding)
Cute puppy, and dog. But they are not the same! Puppy's markings totally different from the grown dogs, that can't be changed. So, I know it happened, but those dogs are not even the same breed or mix of breeds! Let alone the distinct markings each one has!
Don't think that is same dog unless coat changed. Look at blaze between eyes.
She seems to be so healthy! Is that weird to say? She has three adorable dogs, a genuine smile, and runs marathons? She just looks so happy!
Just Adopted This Dude. His Name Is Tucker And He Is Good Boye
We call rescue dogs like this, "Gratefuls." We have 3 gratefuls here.
Rescued Good Girl Wants All The Love
The markings remind me of an African Painted Dog. Such a sweet looking dog!
She needs all the love she can get at this point. Just look at those questioning eyes?
Aw, good for you. Poor baby will get healthier with love and a home.
Oh that face! How could anyone NOT rescue her? She is beautiful and I think she will become lovlier day after day.
My Friend Adopted A Senior Dog That Had Been Shot In The Leg And Left To Die. These Pictures Are A Day Apart
All of these posts made me smile. When it's senior animals, I move on to happy crying, though. More people should do this.
Same. They deserve a happy home to live out the last stretch of their lives.
Load More Replies...I just want to say there’s an a*****e out there that I would personally like to shoot in the leg and leave to die. Maybe then they’ll learn to pick on someone their own size.
Oh I'd shoot em alright. But I'd aim much higher on his leg. He will limp with and no huevos in his Easter Basket. Ain't worth the consequences killing the SOB would set me back.
Load More Replies...it looks like a type of Coondog... belonging to a hunter. Probably thought the dog had outgrown its use... :( (People are cruel b*stards sometimes)
Load More Replies...We rescued a 8 year old, who had become the office dog as no-one wanted him. He was also mistreated and involved in a car accident that left him scarred. He is happiest when he is in contact with us physically. Even if it's sleeping curled up around our feet. I would definitely adopt an older rescue again.
Thank you to the kind soul to gave this sweet older boy a second lease at life!
AWW, I hope that your dear friend has many long and happy years with his dear dog and that Karma gets the jerk who shot that poor dog!
I don't understand how cruel people are to animals and worse, why those monsters don't get the punishment they do deserve.
Adopted Her 3 Hours Ago And She’s Already So Comfortable And Happy To Have A Home, I Laid Down Next To Her And She Just Climbed Onto Me Anybody Who Hates On Pitbulls Has Never Owned One Of These Big Babies
Don't hate a breed - hate the people that didn't look after them properly.
I agree. A large percentage of pit owners should not be allowed to own any animal! I had a pit/dobie cross breed, fabulous friend! It is all about the love!
Load More Replies...My family all own American Pitbulls crossed with another breed, and I can tell you they are very sweet.
I have been foster mom to two Pitts and they have been the sweetest doggos ever.
It's the vile twisted humans who have caused a bad name to pit bulls as well as many other breeds, like staffies
Never had a Pit Bull, but they are beautiful, and very gentle. It is the Macho S**t Heads that have to fight this breed that makes them mean by torturing the dogs. Some will fight because of it, and some just lay down and take it. Those are the dogs that Michael Vick tortured and killed! These are wonderful dogs, and I wouldn't think twice about having one! God Bless you and your beautiful girl!
They get a bad undeserved rap. Glad you didn't fall for it. Well done!
What makes Pit-Bulls nasty, are the owners who teach them to be that way.
This Is Louie, Our Adopted 16-Year Old Pupper! He Makes This Face When He Is About To Get Treats.
4 Years Since We Rescued Her And Her Brother And She Still Holds Onto Us When She Sleeps So We Dont Leave Her..
I've had my little rescue going on 2 years. He had never been on a leash, kept in a cage his whole life for breeding. He won't go to sleep at night unless he has his nose in my armpit. I still jump a little when he puts his wet nose there lol
This Is Little Arietty, Patiently Waiting For Me To Throw Her Toy. I Am Starting To Suspect That We May Have Adopted A Doggo!
Our Smudgy (tabby cat) is a dog in a cat suit, and our Scruffy (terrier mix) is a cat in a dog suit. Happens that way sometimes.
Something got mixed up at the post office. It does happen that way sometimes. So glad they found the right home where the humans are not judgy.
Load More Replies...Our cat Lola, not only runs after the toy, she'd bring it back so you can throw it again, and again, and again...
Rescued This Little Guy A Week Or So Ago And He Keeps Peaking Over The Couch At Me Like This
We Adopted A Puppy Today. He's Terrified Of The Car Because He Thinks We're Taking Him Back To The Shelter. But He Loved Bedtime
My rescue hates the car too! I'm sure it's because he thinks I'm going to abandon him
I used to walk dogs for the RISPCA and there was this one pretty little chihuahua named Coco who would look at every single car we passed. I think that he must have been looking for his car. He'd study every car we passed, some he'd just ignore after glancing at it but others he'd try to get into. He didn't stay in the shelter long because he was such a handsome dog (long chocolate-colored fur) and was only a few years old but I still feel bad for him. I hope that his new people never think about giving him away and let him have all the car rides he wants.
Load More Replies...My rescue Pit is the exact same. She hyperventilates in the car, shakes and whimpers. Abandoned by a breeder after she gave birth. But the rest of the time... IMG_2628-5...4-jpeg.jpg
Our dog Penny was terrified of the car, she would get in but as soon as the car was on she'd start shaking and there was nothing but fear in her eyes and it broke our hearts. We soothed her by petting her and reassured her that everything was okay. it wasn't until years after she crossed the rainbow bridge(in 2011, she was nearly 17) that I figured out why she was so afraid. Penny was a rescue. we adopted her on 9/16/1996 I had just turned 5. Pennys first years of life were full of abuse and no love, then abandonment. Penny was taken and dumped on the side of the highway where she was alone and scared. Whoever found her took her to the Humane society and my parents saw her on the news and we went and saw her and ended up adopting her. Penny gave us so much love she was loyal to us to her very last breath. We spoiled her rotten but she deserved it. Penny was a wonderful dog and we miss her dearly, we will never forget Penny, she lives on in our hearts.
All his troubles are behind him, and he'll realize that soon. Perhaps later he will enjoy rides in the car.
My rescue was the same, and refused to get in the car. So I would always take my other do,g either on a hike or a nice walk, but he loved the car. Eventually he noticed that he always came back with me, and timidly came with us one day. Now he equals car rides with adventures!

He Spent 5 Years In A Rescue Shelter. I Will Make Sure He Has The Best 5 Years With Us From Now On.
He is going to be treated like a King and get the unconditional love he deserves!
Thank you for giving this wonderful dog a home. I am sure he will bring you much happiness.
That is the smile of complete happiness. Enjoy the next five years and many more after that.

This Is Daisy, She Was Extremely Abused Before We Got Her, I Could Hardly Pet Her Without A Yelp Or Whimper. We Adopted Her Almost 2.5 Yrs Ago. She's Now Officially Been In A Loving Home Longer Than She Was In A Bad Home. Such A Sweetheart That Loves Luvins!
Daisy’s previous owners are examples of the worst kind of humans. Kids and animals should be strictly off limits to people like them. They need to learn a hard lesson about picking on someone their own size.
Can we just put them down? Do we have to let them live?
Load More Replies...We adopted a dog who would cower when anyone picked up a stick. Took a long time before she believed we would throw it for her rather than hit her with it.
Thank you for your kindness and understanding and patience.
Load More Replies...Animal and child abusers are the scorch of society. How anyone could look at that face, and abuse it is beyond any of us who love animals and would give anything to have a pup like this! I'm so happy you got her away from the abusive person that had her, and gave her a chance at having a forever home where she will always be loved and taken care of, and, in return, you will have the most devoted friend for life. Daisy is gorgeous. She looks like a mix of a collie, which makes her very devoted and intelligent.
People who mistreat other humans and animals are terrible and need to be punished.

So The Other Day My Dad Called Me And Told Me His Golden Retriever Found A Baby Squirrel That Was Half Alive In The Yard. He Rescued It And Fed It. This Is Them A Few Days Later. Now It Won’t Leave His Side
I had a rescue squirrel as a kid. Affectionate, playful and so trusting.
I want to see pics with the dog & squirrel. Have they become close friends? I saw a picture online years ago where a squirrel had a Golden Retriever or a Burmese Mountain as a sibling and kept hiding nuts in its fur.
Bless your compassionate dad. Now he has the love of an adorable baby squirrel who thinks he is daddy -- magical.

Just Rescued Another Bunny. Momma Ate His Ears So He’s Now Earless. Everyone Meet Skip Evander-Holyfield
Rabbits are great great pets. They are clean animals and use litter just like cats. They can be very social is you handle them daily. The more you handle them the less they stress out. Ours plays with our cats and they get along famously.
But always keep two or more. They need another rabbit friend.
Load More Replies...Study! Rabbits have strict rules. Certain kind of cage so their feet stay dry, prefer the green top of the carrot , love clover flower tops. Must have place for mom to get away and rest where the babies can't reach her or there will be a nightmare like this. Study a book about rabbits. Thank you for caring.
Oh, poor baby! Why would a Mama do that to their offspring, I wonder? Thank you for stepping in as the human Mom!

Im Getting Adopted!
Congratulation on your new fur baby. Please take a small rug or fluffy something to put in the cart to save those feet and next time he goes to the doggy store he will have a smile on his face. Sense he is a puppy use a wet washcloth and a dab of soap the wash his face and ears first and rinse then just start the bath after that. My rescue dog has problems with water so I get my little wooden chair and put it in the tub get everything ready and lay a towel on my lap and my husband puts the dog on my lap, (same size as yours now) and I start the wash. He clings to me like I'm about to drown him. It's so sad. Like I opened the window in the car while he was strapped in and he turned and clung to me and started shaking. I rolled up the window and it took a couple of miles before he calmed down. He was definitely abused before I got him. I work around his problems and he is a good dog a very good dog.
What does that mean? Will those people come back? I thought they liked me; I liked them.
I don't think he's realized what adopted means yet.. but in time, he will turn the sad look into excited and zoom around his new house ♡
Make no mistake...purchase from a puppy-farm-promoting PET store is NOT ADOPTION!!!!

i've been ridiculed for grieving after my second" born" furry baby passed away (i always said i had four kids - two furry ones who came first and their two younger, biped siblings)
Those people who ridiculed you are not your friends. Avoid them wherever you can.

Is the washing therapeutic? That kitten does look on the young side for adoption... Will comment no further as I do not know the situation.
Sometimes kitten really do need a bath. Usually fleas, and the kitten is too small to cope with the other types of treatment.

For you but people with a sense of humor actually think it's funny. Maybe keep your negativity to yourself

Load More Replies...Thank you to all of those that gave these precious babies a loving home and a second chance. I really don't understand people that can be cruel to an animal, dump an animal and or all of the other horrible things that humans do and have done to animals.. it just boggles my brain. Animals are so pure and innocent; #allanimalsneedlove - however someone hurts an animal, they should have it done back to them.
We have adopted all of our pets over the years! They were/are the best!
I have noticed animals who are abused or in shelters for a long time, seem to know when they have a home and really appreciate it.
#AdoptDontShop, adopted/rescued is the best breed. Meet Gizzy (will turn 18 on 05/10/22) & Thori (will turn 15 on 07/30/22), adopted back in late October 2010 & in late May 2013, Gizzy came from an abusive former home, Thori´s owners´d gotten a 2nd baby and didn´t have the time for a hyperactive ADHS cat anymore. And I already retired since I am disabled, I´m at home 24/7, except if I have to go shopping, to the bank or to my internistic doctor and have to leave my apartment, which normally doesn´t happen more than once or twice the week. 10380268_1...019559.jpg
Love to see people adopting senior pets, be it dog or cats. People give up on sr pets and they (animals) have sooo much love to give. God bless....
