dogs

Times are tough and we're always in need of a cute and wholesome compilation of animals! Either it is in the form of memes, tweets, or just photos and gifs, it's always very much needed and very much appreciated. 

It's Sunday and we can take this time to relax and dive into a bunch of animal gifs that'll have our hearts melting in the best way possible! There's honestly nothing quite like animals for that pick-me-up, they just seem to hit you right where you need it most -- in the feels. 

Thank you to all the animals in the world, we would be so lonely and lost without you all. 

"How it started vs how it's going" is quite the wholesome and newest Twitter challenge. Especially the ones that feature animals! 

Twitter users have been sharing how their pets first entered their lives, most of them lonely, malnourished, and in desperate need of some tender love and care. Then, right beside that photo of how it all started, they share an image of where they are now. And where they are now is happy, loved, and in their forever home. This trend has certainly hit us in the feels! 

There is nothing more heartwarming than seeing an animal grow strong and happy, and that's what this challenge is all about -- the good things in life.

Join the fun and share with us your "how it started vs how it's going" story! 

Good morning, fellow animal lovers! You're in for a scrumptious treat this morning, a treat in the form of various animal memes! What could be more filling and satisfying?

Each week, we scour the depths of the interwebs to bring you the hottest and freshest animal memes. We love to deliver the memes all nice and hot so make sure to eat up before it gets cold! Unless you enjoy cold food, then by all means hold onto this and enjoy it at your convenience! Also, if you're a fan of leftovers, last's week animal meme meal isn't one to be missed! 

So many beautiful adopted faces, our hearts are overflowing with love! Welcome back to our weekly tradition where we feature all the lovely adopted faces of the week! 

There is nothing more heartwarming than seeing all these animal find their forever home. We would like to thank all those who have recently adopted, have adopted in the past, and those who will adopt in the future. You guys are all incredible. And, of course, an ultra-mega shout out to those who adopted older animals or those in need of extra care. You. Are. Our. Heroes. 

Another wonderful Friday deserves some added feels and we're here to provide them for you! If you have recently adopted a pet, share an image in the comments! 

So many good boys and girls all in one post! We obviously get a good fill of cat snaps on the weekly basis but we also need some pure doggo goodness to help set balance to the force. Dogs are magical animals who bring us so much happiness and joy, it's hard to capture it within a photo but these snaps do a heckin' good job! 

These weeks have been tough and we have no idea when things will get better so we have to drown out the negativity with wholesomeness. And that wholesomeness can come in the form of memes, tweets, or just photos of animals. Animals have a way of uplifting spirits and doggos tend to lead that pack. 

Get ready to submerge yourself in some doggo goodness, and don't worry, take your time. There is no rush. 

It's Thursday, and you know what time that is... it's dog meme time. Because dog memes are the ultimutt, most adorable weapon to push you through this last bit of the week and make sure that you have a most rebarkable weekend. Trust us, we know things can be a little ruff sometimes, but that's what dog memes are for - you just cannot help but howl with laughter when you look at them. 

That's because our love for dogs is unending. Know that - every single week - we've got your dose of dog memes covered, giving you the most barkolicious and pawsome memes that we can find. So, get them while they're still barkin' hot, pawnder about them all that you need, and may your weekend be filled with doggo cuddles. 

We love dogs. Dogs are the absolute best. They're so cute and so weird and so funny and oh my god they are the biggest drama queens sometimes. That doesn't mean we love them any less of course. If anything, them being so adorably dramatic makes our hearts burst with even more love for them. 

Sometimes, them being drama queens will make us snort, other times, it'll just make us want to give them another treat. It's impossible to say 'no' to these puppy eyes, looking up at you with so much adoration and love, probably knowing just how much power they have over you. But, quite frankly, who would ever want to say no to a dramatic doggo (or any doggo ever)?

You ask some men, and they will tell you that the struggle of growing a mustache is very real. Their entire lives, sometimes, they will not be able to grow them, and they watch with envy those full bearded people walking around out there, hoping and dreaming that one day, they will have a mustache as epic as theirs. 

Well, we would like to comfort them by saying that it's okay and that the lack of mustache doesn't say anything about them as people. And it is true! But instead of that, we're about to give them some animals to be envious of as well. We apologize. But these dapper animals are too cute to not be shown. It's true though, their mustaches are 100% better than all of ours.

Stories of lost pets are the most heartbreaking ones, but when these stories end happily - with a grown man's joyous tears no less - what was once heartbreaking turns to the most wholesome feel-good stories in the world. 

200 days ago, just over 6 months, a man named Pat lost his dog. As the Washington County, TN Animal Shelter Facebook post tells, he "searched and searched but couldn't find him." Blue - the adorable dog - was as good as gone in Pat's eyes, especially when Pat had to move to Texas for his work. "He thought he'd never see Blue again," the shelter says.

So, when suddenly a friend of Pat's sent him "a video of his dog playing ball in the shelter", we can only imagine Pat's joy. But what we don't need to do is imagine his joy when they finally reunited, since Pat drove 1200 miles from Texas to get his doggo, and the shelter caught it all on camera. Be prepared for tears of joy, because these pictures might just break your heart with how wholesome they are.

"This is why WE NEVER GIVE UP," the Facebook post says, and we couldn't agree more. Check out pictures and the video of their adorable reunion below, and seriously - prepare the tissues. 

Us cat lovers, who spend time and energy hanging out with cats whenever we cat, we understand cats. We also understand dogs (most of the time), knowledge about dogs is common. But dog lovers, who spend no time with cats, are often very confused by cats and think that cats are evil - which is the farthest thing away from truth!

This tumblr thread took it upon itself to explain to dog lovers that cats are not evil at all. And they did it in the cutest way possible, explaining just how big hearted cats are. Cats just don't show it the way dogs do, and that's part of what makes them special. Cats are not evil, they're just not dogs. That doesn't mean cat and dog lovers can't be best friends - cats and dogs can be best friends, so can we. 

Tuesday used to be bland days, following Mondays and still feeling nowhere close to the weekend. That's why we bring you this pick-me-up every week! Each week, we scour through the cutest of cute and deliver it here all nicely wrapped up with a pretty bow on top! 

Dose of cuteness is a weekly prescription that you don't have to take every week, but it is recommended by experts. They say looking at adorable pictures and videos of animals helps ease stress and believe it. Just looking at these adorable faces below has brought us joy today and we sincerely hope it provides you with the same happiness. 

If this following dose isn't strong enough for your liking, you can double up on last week's as well. There are no side effects included besides that of a melting heart. 

Twitter user @soapachu brings up a really solid point, "a corgi crossed with any other breed just ends up looking like a corgi disguised as the other dog." And after seeing the proof below, there's just no denying the truth. 

Corgis crossed with other dog breeds do indeed just look like a corgi donning a costume. And they do it wonderfully. Our Spooktober continues with corgis disguised as other dog breeds, just in time for the Halloweenie feels! The best part? Each photo below is probably just the cutest thing we've ever witnessed. Corgis are already known for the cuteness, heck, all dogs in general just scream adorableness. But for each breed to have the miniature-ness of a corgi? We're melting. 

All you need is love, love, love is all you need. Ain't that the truth. When it comes to animals, love is truly all they want and need. A good home, filled with endless tender love and care, and any pet and flourish into their most beautiful selves. It's so moving to see the transformation, especially if they come from such a broken place, it's difficult to see animals look so ragged and in pain, but after they're taken into a good home, their transformation is the most beautiful of all. 

A huge heartfelt thank you to those who go out of their way to help animals in need, and who adopt those who need more attention and care. The world would do well with more people like you. 

Get ready to see some gorgeous glow ups:

Meet the brilliant and talented Simone Giertz! Simone Giertz, as she describes on Youtube, is a "maker/robotics enthusiast/non-engineer." And just recently, Simone Giertz has built an automated photo booth in which dogs can take their very own selfies! How amazing is that? We see tons of dogs photos on the daily but for a dog to take its own selfie? Revolutionary! 

The adorable model is nonother than Simone's pup, Scraps! Scraps was obviously born to be in front of the camera, I mean -- just look at that star quality! This photo booth is absolutely adorable and we definitely want to see more pup selfies in the future!
