From гeѕсᴜe to Family: Heartwarming Adoptions of Adorable Dogs Find Their Forever Homes

There’s nothing sweeter than seeing the happy looks on these dogs’ faces when they realize that they’re being adopted. Take a look at some of the cutest rescue dogs getting out of the shelter to go home with their new families for the very first time!

While it can certainly take a while for both the family and the dog to adjust to each other, sometimes, others just click. These dogs all seem to be pretty content in the arms of their new owners, though!

Getting a shelter pet can be such a rewarding experience, both for the human and the dog (or cat!) If you’re considering a new animal, make sure to check your local shelters before heading to a pet store! There are always plenty of amazing cats and dogs waiting for someone like you to come along and change their life – just as much as they will change yours!

Can’t you feel the love seeping out of this image? It’s obvious that this boy would go to the ends of the earth for his best friend.

A Kodak Smile

Kodak was pulled from an animal-hoarding situation in a dirty and overcrowded home. Thanks to his new mom, he’s getting a second chance at a happy life with the Love and attention he deserves.

Happy Days

This beloved little creature is so thankful to his new dad for picking him out from the shelter that he can’t stop smiling! And that was before he even got to see his new house!

Is that not the sweetest thing you’ve ever seen? What a heartwarming moment caught on camera!

Well, it’s either that or he’s being knighted in the dog world.

All the Hugs

Unfortunately, too many people expect to go into a shelter and find a newborn puppy. They want a pet that they feel isn’t “damaged” already, and so many senior dogs and dogs with disabilities, etc., never get the chance at the love that they deserve.

But there are those caring few that come along with open minds and open hearts. The ones that see the good and the hope in the eyes of those older dogs. Like this guy who took a chance on this senior doggo and couldn’t be happier with his decision. And hey, most senior dogs are already potty trained!

First Trip to the Park

When you’re in the shelter, you don’t really get too much exercise. Shelter doggies depend on volunteers to come and walk them around and take them out on adventures. So, when this guy went to the park with his family for the first time, he wore himself out playing with his new brother!

They spent a few hours running around, and this is the aftermath of their day at the park. Mom couldn’t help but snap this shot of her two adorable little boys napping together on the ride home.

Just Two Older Guys Hanging Out

This is another case of a senior who wanted a dog that would match his mellowed-out mood. He found exactly what he was looking for when he met Gus, who stole his heart right away. The two hit it off the second the shelter staff brought Gus out of his kennel to meet his new friend, and then he was off to his new forever home not long after.

This picture goes to show just how happy they are together, and that was when the pair had just met. Now, their bond is even stronger.

Asleep on Dad’s Lap

Puppies have to get their fair share of sleep, especially when they have an exciting long day like this one. He couldn’t even make it over to his seat he fell asleep right on dads lap instead.
