Everyone, meet George. He's a 10-week-old miniature puppy who was homeless and had parvo, and now, he has a forever home. This adorable pupper is a fighter, having survived despite it being unclear whether he would or not. And not only that, but he has also stolen the hearts of tens of thousands of twitter users. 

His owner, @molly_knight, didn't know whether she was ready to adopt another dog after her previous one passed, but we are so, so glad that she did and that she managed to help save this adorable puppy. Her story is heartwarming, tear-jerking, and inspiring. It's the kind of story we wish to hear more, so if you have some of your own pet stories to share, come join us in our Facebook community - ICanHas Storytime.

Time to give love to an adorable senior cat, and the internet has taken this task very seriously. Meet Steve, an 18-year-old cat who cries if his owner takes his sweater off him. Aaaand cue the 'aww's. 

He's an adorable cat who's cuddly, clingy, chill, and derpy all in the best ways, and we're totally in love with him. Thank you, rosytroll, for introducing this gorgeous cat to the internet, and thank you to the internet for making Steve go viral. We are so happy to meet him. He seems like the bestest of all best senior cats, and we wish him many more years of joy and warm sweaters. 

Did you know that elephants think we're cute? Just like we think that kittens and puppies (and elephants) are adorable, apparently, elephants think the same thing about it. They're also the absolute gentlest giants - who form long-lasting friendships and mourn their lost, and yes, with every single thing that we learn about elephants, we grow to love them even more. 

The following tumblr thread explains exactly how amazing elephants are and how much these giants deserve love and appreciation. So read it, fall in love alongside us, and once you do, check out some more elephant cuteness right here. 

It's never easy to bring a new kitten home. All you want is for the kitten to be happy and cozy and understand that you mean it no harm. Sometimes, it takes a while for the kitten to discover and get used to its new home. But eventually, they see the loving adoptive parents that we are and give us a chance. 

Such is the story of Melfi, MickDuncher's adoptive kitten. For a whole week, she hid in the bedroom and didn't leave, scared of her new environment full of new humans and animals. But now, she's a happy girl, and we're happier for it. 

The story of Dobby the doggo is one that'll really make you feel like the year started off the right way. It showcases how every animal, no matter where and in what condition, deserves care and love and how important working as a team is. It took a lot of people to help Dobby, but it was more than worth it in the end. 

From being malnourished and sick into a forever home with an amazing NASA pilot dad who we know will do anything for her, Dobby is now a a happy pupper, and we are happy for her as well as incredibly thankful to everyone who helped her along the way.

Read her story and go through the rollercoaster that it is, and for more heartwarming dog stories, read about a dog who was mistreated for barking learning to bork again.

It's time to welcome two new puppies into the world!!! 

But these two puppies are not regular puppies. The two babies were both born with cleft lips, making them extra special in many different ways. The cuties will have a harder time than most going through their little doggo journeys. Especially now that they are so, so tiny, they will need some extra special love and care. 

Luckily, they found themselves in the hands of an amazing human. Working in a sanctuary and having taken care of at least one dog that we know of with a cleft lip, imgur user thevaiobandit101 knows what to do. The tiny pups will be tube fed for the next few weeks and will be a lot of work, but they are in good hands. 

Good luck to the puppies and to thevaiobandit101, we wish you an easy and amazing life! 

It's always a worry - whether the new pet you bring home will get along with the one that you already have. We hope for the best, but when it doesn't go the way we hope, we find ourselves a little devastated. Imgur user monachopsisss experienced that same fear with their 2-year-old lab and the new puppy that they adopted and shared it in this imgur thread. 

But, the story of these two doggos is one that brings hope. Just because your adopted pet doesn't immediately get along with the pet you have, doesn't mean that they never will. It'll take time, but with enough love and care all around, they will most likely start getting along just like these two beauties. 

Adopting pets is never easy. Even the most knowledgeable people have things that they will learn about each and every pet that they have. But, most people who are adopting for the first time don't even have the most basic knowledge, especially when it comes to animals that are slightly less common than dogs and cats. 

If you are interested in adopting a rabbit, today, you are in luck! Tumblr user tom-hanks-is-bae has come to the rescue. They had to learn through experience and trial and error exactly how much it takes to properly take care of a rabbit, and they've decided to share what they've learned with everyone else. From how to choose a rabbit in the first place to what kind of food and cages are good for them, this is your ultimate guide to rabbits from a rabbit lover like you. 

Birds are an interesting species, there are about 400 billion birds on the planet. That's right, if they wanted, they could attack us, win, and take over the world. And who knows, maybe that is their plan. If you dive into that thought a bit deeper, with 5 billion people on the planet, this would amount to 40 to 60 birds per bird. So, yeah, they would definitely win. And one type of bird, the Jacana bird, may just freak out a majority of those people with its terrifying spider/bird hybrid legs, but the truth is way cuter than anyone would expect. 

When an Imgur user discovered the truth behind these seemingly freaky birds, they decided to share their knowledge with the world, and we are grateful.

This entertaining and thought-provoking commentary by Imgur user yourfriendlyneighbourhoodtzimisce:

It takes a lot of work to get a feral kitten to trust you, let alone two of them. But it's the kind of hard work that's worth every second. 

This viral thread on imgur by straightcreepen tells the story of two feral kitten siblings who were living in an industrial area near a junk yard and were picked up by a rescue. The kittens would have had to have been euthanized had they not been saved and later tamed, but luckily, they were in the hands of people who know how important it is to help feral kittens. 

It took time, and it took love, but both kittens learned to trust and love the humans around them. And now, the sweet boys have been adopted - together! 

Read their heartwarming story and maybe share it with someone who has misconceptions about feral kittens and the joy they can bring. 

All it takes is a little kindness to change an animal's life. This heartwarming tumblr thread proves just that. This tiny kitten, later named Nux, was found at the bottom of violetohara's stairs, and though it was a bit hard to catch the kitten at first, violetohara immediately knew that if they catch the little thing, they'll adopt her right away.

And that's exactly what happened. The kitten was sick, had burrs and sticks in her fur and was clearly unwell, but all it took is a visit to the vet and one day in her new forever home for her to start purring and become of of the cutest kittens in the whole world. Nux is still doing great, of course, because with a forever home as loving as this, who wouldn't?

Let's be honest, us animal lovers have a tendency to think that all animals are beautiful. There's always something unique and beautiful to find in them. Whether it's their size, a pattern of behavior, or something entirely different, animals are just awesome like that.

But there are some animals where it's enough to simply come across one of their pictures for us to have to do a double take, because even though we may not know anything about them, their looks are enough to amaze us. Twitter user @heisTactic has made a thread listing 10 animals like that - ones that are so beautiful, they are simply impossible to look away from. 

This twitter thread that went viral has taken "dog ate my homework" and raised it by 1000 to "cat ate my degree", and we think that there's a clear winner. 

Imagine, working so hard and so long for this poor piece of paper and then your cat deciding that it's its new snack. I would probably be as upset as @mamblonumber5, or how he now calls himself "guy *whose cat ate his degree". His outraged and unintentionally hilarious tweet caused other twitter users to chime in as well, laughing as well as sharing pictures of their own pets eating their degrees. Even the university reached to him in a tweet, so there's a chance he might get another one of these precious papers. 

Lesson learned: important papers shall be framed right away.

When funny turns unexpectedly wholesome. What started with a funny viral tweet comparing dog people and cat people has turned into an explosion of wholesome adoption stories being shared by both cat people and dog people (mostly cats though). 

Cat people and dog people both love their pets, whether they were bought or whether they were rescued from inside of a car engine. Of course, there is something special about rescuing pets and giving them their forever homes, but at the end of the day, all pets deserve love, including the ones that are up for sale. So, enjoy these incredibly heartwarming adopt-don't-shop stories.

Well, we have made it to another Sunday, the week is about to start yet again, and we know that you guys need some positivity to get this this week started off on the right foot. Wholesome animals are always the right way to start anything, but with the weather getting all grey and tiring, this week, we need a little extra of it.

So, this weekly tumblr treat for you guys is all positive and nothing but positive. Animals that'll make you smile and aww and give you the exact boost of energy that you need. May you enjoy this collection of positivity, and may your week be just as positive as these animal tumblr posts! 

We all know that 'curiosity killed the cat' is an expression for a reason because our snoopy little furballs must. know. everything. Sniff this, sniff that, that cockroach, our shoes, they'd sniff the whole world if they could. They're total drama queens. Being dramatic and stalking out all the drama is their thing.

A tweet by @luhsham that showcases exactly that just went viral. And people have been adding tweets of their own nosey cats peeking out of windows to check out all the drama on the street. There's something particularly hilarious about seeing the lengths to which cats will go to get to the very best spot to check out what's going on outside.
