    Looking after a pet certainly comes with a lot of responsibilities. Nevertheless, it also brings us genuine happiness and an unparalleled sense of fulfillment. And nobody probably knows this better than people who have rescued and adopted pets. So, in this post, we’ve compiled rescue pet photos that will surely tug at your heartstrings. Hopefully, their stories will also inspire you to consider adopting the next time you want to add a new member to your family.

    One of the benefits of adopting a pet is saving on upfront costs, but it definitely goes beyond that. When you adopt a pet, you’re literally saving a life and giving it another chance. More importantly, you’re also helping unburden shelters and, at the same time, fight breeders and puppy mills. And, of course, the health benefits and bragging rights only come as a bonus. So, if you’re an animal lover, adopting a pet is undeniably one of the best decisions you can make in your life. And these rescue pet photos will prove just that.

    Unfortunately, just like any other establishments, pet shelters have also been adversely affected by the ongoing pandemic.

     

    “Since it began, COVID-19 has put an immense amount of strain on animal shelters across the country. Because this is an ever-changing situation, each shelter is facing unique challenges specific to its community.”— Kelly DiCicco, Adoption Promotions Manager of American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA)

     

    “This is Axel. He was so scared in the animal shelter that he didn’t get adopted for 4 months, and then got returned for ‘being too shy’ when someone finally took him home. He loves his life now! Pure bliss”

    For starters, most shelters have to operate with limited manpower to comply with government-mandated safety and health protocols. In turn, this has meant reducing their operating hours and the services that they are offering to the public. Meanwhile, many shelters are also facing financial difficulties since they’re unable to hold in-person fundraising activities. Likewise, donations have also significantly dropped during these trying times. So, hopefully, these rescue pet photos will inspire you to consider adopting.

    Despite these hurdles, pet shelters continue their mission of helping stray animals find their new forever homes.

     

    “With hundreds of thousands of animals across the country currently in shelters, with rescue groups, and in foster care, animal welfare organizations are implementing innovative solutions, including virtual or socially-distanced adoptions, online meet-and-greets using video chat, and minimal-contact drop-offs or pickups to help these animals find adoptive homes.”
