These Wholesome Photos Of People Meeting Their New Fur-Babies Are Extremely Heartwarming
Adding a pet to the family is a significant event. It doesn't matter if it's your 4th dog, your 7th cat, or your first pet... it's a life-changing moment for human and animal alike. Animal lovers know when they've found the right pet to bring home, whether it's a puppy or kitten or a senior or anything in between, when you feel the connection, there is no other pet on earth that would do. You get that animal and they become yours, forever.
The moment of realization that,"this is it, this animal is my family now," is pure and precious and when it's captured on camera and shared on the Internet, we all can feel the emotion and usually we're taken back to our own moments in time, permanently etched in our hearts, when a pet became family.
“After 6 months of being depression free, I adopted my new best friend! Everyone, meet Gilly.”
A worthy reward.
“My son was so excited when he found out what his early Christmas present was.”
Truly, some people are meant to have pets.
"Adopted this girl from the pound. She rode like this the whole way home :)"
Best seat in the car? With your new mama.
“I met my best friend today.”
I don't know if the human or the dog said this quote, but it could easily go either way.
“My son and our dog 20 minutes after we adopter her.”
There is comfort in family, even when you've just met.
“Meet Luna, our shelter rescue.”
Fewer dogs in life are as happy as the ones that were rescued from shelters.
This dog's smile appears to be permanently etched on his face post-adoption!
True love is funny like that.
“Went to the shelter with the intention of petting the dogs… left with a dog.”
It's not unusual for shelters to need volunteers to come cuddle and hang out with dogs, but sometimes you cannot leave a dog there once you've met and they've chosen you.
"All 46lbs (21kg) wanted to sit on my lap on the way home from being adopted. I love my new best friend."
