A heartbreaking tale with a happy ending. Sunshine Dog Rescue, a Non-Profit Organization located in Phoenix, Arizona, rescued a beautiful Australian Shepherd Mix named Georgia. 

Georgia was found living at a gas station near the border to Mexico. Georgia was pregnant, but sadly, none of her puppies made it. All her pups were born prematurely. 

Founder of the Sunshine Dog Rescue, Anita Osa, knew Georgia was heartbroken at the loss of losing all her babies. Osa told ABC15, "I've never had a mom dog lose a whole litter before. The best way I could describe it was she was frantic. It was so sad, she was looking for those babies. She tore up the toddler mattress we had her on, trying to find her babies." 

Osa quickly went to work and asked for help on Facebook. Osa was looking for any orphaned baby animals that were in need of a lactating mother. Osa ended up with three kittens who just so happened to fit that bill. 

Of course, with any interspecies integration, you have to worry about whether or not each animal would accept the other. Thankfully, Georgia and the kittens instantly bonded. Osa claims the moment Georgia sniffed the kittens, she calmed down significantly.

They do nurse on her. She cleans them and everything but the bond is strong. It's really something to see, she protects those kittens just as if they were her babies," Osa added. 

While we are heartbroken for the loss of Georgia's litter, we are grateful she found a family of her own with others who needed her. 

Check out the adorable videos of Georgia and her baby kittens below.

It's not crazy if it works, right? 

Twitter user, Christopher Doyle, shared with the Twitterverse on August 25th, 2020, that his daughter made a PowerPoint presentation in hopes of convincing her parents to adopt a cat. 

Her PowerPoint presentation hits a lot of excellent points, such as the pros of getting a cat, how she was promised a hamster five years ago and never received one, and overall, just how happy it would make her. Three excellent points, indeed. And after the overwhelming response on Twitter, Christopher Doyle shared an image of a cat adoption slip! That's right -- his daughter is finally getting a cat! 

Congratulations to Christopher Doyle's daughter, and family, a cat is a wonderful addition always. 

Happy Friday, everyone! Welcome to our favorite weekly feel-good stories -- adopted faces of the week! And this week we are featuring a bunch of newly adopted one-eyed beauties! Thanks to those who saw these precious babies and gave them a chance.

We love seeing animals finally finding their forever homes, especially older animals who have less of a chance of being adopted. We would like to thank all those who have adopted in the past, adopting in the present, and will adopt in the future. You all are our heroes. 

Start the weekend off in the best way possible, by seeing these loving pets faces and how happy they are to have a home. 

Honestly, could there be a more perfect adoption story out there? 

Lynchburg Humane Society had a black cat in need of a forever home. This cat was named Dennis Quaid. Well, the news of Dennis Quaid reached none other than the actor Dennis Quaid himself. "It was really off the wall, but I just couldn't resist. I had to," Dennis Quaid told WSLS 10 News, "I'm out to save all the Dennis Quaids of the world."

Danielle Ulmer, Adoption Center Manager at Lynchburg Humane Society couldn't believe when she heard the news, "I was like there is no way this is real, like, someone is pranking us."

Jimmy Jellinek, co-host of The Pet Show, convinced Danielle Ulmer that this was real and soon enough, a Zoom call was made where Dennis Quaid got to meet Dennis Quaid. And vice versa. 

"Maybe they should start naming animals in shelters after different celebrities and see who bites," Quaid joked. However, it's not a bad idea! And it looks like from the adoptable faces below, they're already taking Quaid up on his advice!

Happy Friday, everyone! We love Fridays for many reasons:

1. It's the start of the weekend

2. Our original user's lolcats are featured

3. The newly adopted faces of the week, which makes our hearts melt. 

We adore seeing animals find a forever loving home. And we thank all those who adopted, in the past, present, or will do so in the future. We also want to send a special shout out to those who adopt animals who have been in the shelter for far too long, those who adopted animals who are missing limbs, or characteristics that one would consider makes them difficult to adopt. And of course, thank you to those who adopt senior animals and give them a second (and hopefully final) loving home. 

Our favorite segment of the week, and the only proper way to ring in the weekend -- the newly adopted faces of the week! We love seeing all the animals going or already at their forever homes. We want this for all animals and that's why it's important to adopt, and not shop. 

So many beauties are waiting for all our help. We wanted to take a moment to thank everyone and anyone who has adopted in the past and will adopt in the future. And a special thank you to those who adopt the older animals in the shelter. You are all heroes, to us. 

If you missed out on last week's adopted faces, you can catch up here! Trust us, you don't want to miss a single adopted face, they're all so beautiful. 

It's the time again, our favorite part of Friday is gathering up all these beautiful newly adopted faces (young and old) and sharing them with all of you. We're just so happy to see so many pets find their forever loving home, there's nothing better than that.

A special shoutout to those who have adopted a senior pet, giving it a second chance at life. You guys are our heroes. 

For those of you who are thinking about getting a pet, just remember; adopt, don't shop. And don't miss out on the previously adopted faces!

If you recently adopted a pet, shoot us an email to be featured in next week's list! 

What a beautiful heart 14-year-old Meena Kumar has. 

At 9-months-old, Kumar was found abandoned in a basket, on a college campus, in Pune, India. Kumar spent a year in the orphanage before being adopted into her forever home by a couple in Mumbai. The family currently resides in San Jose, California. 

While she was living in Mumbai, Kumar would care for a litter of puppies. And now, living in California, Kumar spends almost every weekend at the Humane Society or Muttville Senior Dog Rescue.

Muttville rescues 1000 dogs per year and is a cage-free rescue. A cage-free rescue whose mission is to give these senior dogs a second chance at life. 

Kumar tells CNN, "More people should adopt senior dogs. They give you the same unconditional love as any other dog." As someone who understands what it's like to be left behind, Kumar wants to help these dogs find their forever home, just like she did. 

However, to volunteer at the Muttville Senior Dog Rescue, you have to be at least 17-years-old, Kumar was 12. So, Kumar decided to come up with an idea that can help the dogs without being a volunteer. She advertised on Nextdoor, a popular neighbor community site, offering pet sitting, and thus, Pet Fairy Services was born.
