Millions of animals are abandoned each year. They have nowhere to go and no one to take care of them mostly they end up on the streets starving or going through serious injuries. Everyone deserves a second chance at life and these poor animals have gone through a lot. They deserve to be somewhere safe and happy.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to the ASPCA, an astounding 6.3 million companion animals enter animal shelters in the United States each year. Approximately 920,000 shelter animals are euthanized each year (390,000 dogs and 530,000 cats). The statistics are so heartbreaking that it’s difficult to comprehend how many perfectly cute little animals never get a second chance in life.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Fortunately, more and more people are willing to love and care for these forgotten furry souls and return them to their forever families. So this post is dedicated to the rescued dogs who have blossomed into these fun, cute, active, and smart woofers and pooches thanks to their loving owners. So what are you waiting for? Keep on scrolling down and see these adorable cuties restoring faith in humanity. We are sure that you are going to love it.<\/p>\n
