So many newly adopted faces each week, our hearts are constantly bursting due to the overwhelming cuteness and love! A huge thank you to those you have recently adopted, have adopted in the past, or will adopt in the future. You are changing the lives of these animals for the better forever. 

And, of course, a special shout out to those who adopted animals that require special care and attention, and those who adopted senior animals. Seriously, we love you guys. 

Without further ado, we bring the faces you've been waiting to meet! 

So. Many. Adopted. Faces.

Our hearts are continuously bursting whenever we come across an adopted face! We're just so happy to see animals find their forever, loving homes. There's seriously nothing better. 

We say this each week, but it will forever remain true -- thank you to those who recently adopted, who have adopted in the past, and whose who will adopt in the future. You all are heroes. And a huge, monumental thank you to those who adopt senior animals, or animals who are less likely to be adopted. We seriously adore you guys. 

If you missed out on last week's adopted faces -- don't fret -- we've always got you covered. 

Welcome back to our weekly segment of the adopted faces of the week! Once again, we would like to wholeheartedly thank those who adopted in the past, are adopting now, or will adopt in the future! And of course, a special shout out to those who have decided to adopt any senior animal, giving them a second chance at life. You guys are the real MVPs. 

If you are planning on adopting in the future, please consider adopting and not shopping. So many little faces are in need of a home! 

We absolutely adore seeing all these happy faces in their new forever home. If you missed out on last week's adopted faces, look no further! 

We hope you have a wonderful upcoming weekend! 

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. 

What a happy ending! 

Theron had thought he had lost his beautiful cat named Cutie Pie. Heartbroken, he made the trip to Bangor Humane Society, an animal shelter in Maine, in search of a new cat to heal his heart. 

Upon searching through the kennels, he stopped. A cat that looked just like his Cutie Pie. He examined the cat a little more closely and then the cat turned to face Theron. It was in that moment that Theron erupted in joy because that cat staring back at him was his one and only Cutie Pie.

And to prove it, Theron showed the staff at the shelter countless pics of Cutie Pie on his phone. After the staff saw the photos, there was no question about it! 

Cutie Pie and Theron were reunited and the staff wrote in a Facebook post, "Let me just say I've honestly never seen a cat so eager to be in a cat carrier! He was SO ready to go home!"

We're so incredibly happy for Theron and Cutie Pie! And another important reminder to all pet owners out there -- please microchip your pets! It could save you a lot of heartache.

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.

Unleashed Fur Is an Idaho-based pet photography company who offers her services to the Idaho Humane Society for more than 10 years. 

Their latest project together is a beautiful series of dog portraits hoping to help those adorable fur babies get adopted faster. 

All the flattering photos are presented on their Instagram page and you know the drill...More shares= faster adoptions. 

A round of applause to Unleashed Fur for using their incredible skills to help pups find their forever homes!

Here are some of the gorgeous shelter doggos who are sure to melt your heart. 

We hope everyone is having a wonderful (and safe) 4th of July weekend! As many animal lovers already know, when it comes to the 4th of July celebrations, the loud bangs by the fireworks can absolutely terrify those poor pups. Well, one amazing county is doing their part for their dogs and their community. The Brevard County Sherrif's Office, Florida, had county jail inmates comforting dogs at the animal care center, during the 4th of July fireworks. 

How amazing is that?

This is so wonderful for both sides. According to the original post by the sheriff's office on Facebook, "What originally started as a suggestion by a number of our citizens turned into an amazing idea to help calm our homeless pets, so tomorrow night, for the second year in a row our Chain Gang and other work crews will be comforting the dogs at the Animal Care Center by reading to them, playing with them, and even feeding them treats during the peak hours of celebration on Independence Day."

The overall goal? Not only to calm those terrified dogs during the peak hours of fireworks but to help build and "instill a sense of purpose and compassion in the inmates that will hopefully aid them as they transition back into society once they have served their time."

Just a beautiful idea all around. Kudos to Brevard County Sheriff for taking on such a wonderful initiative! 

Unfortunately, there are no surfaced photos of the event as of yet but it's too lovely of a story not to share!
