One of the most beautiful things in the world is the friendship and lifelong bonds that we create with animals. To celebrate the new beginnings, each month, we share images of recently Adopted pets.

This month is no different as we compiled a new list of animals who, hopefully, found their forever homes and will live happily ever after. Though this new bond will require patience, love, and empathy - the fertilizer of every healthy relationship - it will certainly gift unimaginable joy and bond worth every difficult moment experienced.

So, whether you are thinking of adopting, have adopted, or just love cute animal pictures, we believe you will find comfort in seeing these happy pets adjusting to their new environments.

In a perfect world, we wouldn't have homeless pets. Unfortunately, the best we can do, besides adopting, is to donate to and support adoption centers.

There are many ways and programs you can choose to support in order to help reduce the number of helpless animals on the streets. One of them is the spay and neuter program. The biggest factor behind the existence of so many homeless pets is overpopulation, which can be greatly reduced if the pets are unable to procreate.

You can also directly sponsor an animal. By doing so, all of the funds will go toward food, supplies, or veterinary bills for the animal of your choice. This donation can and will alleviate some of the expenses of the animal shelter where the animal is currently living.

Besides donating, your help can be more proactive by organizing an adoption event or a fundraiser—anything goes, and every bit of help matters.

If you have time to spare, you can also volunteer your time. Shelters and rescue organizations are in constant need of people who can assist them in keeping up with the animals. There are many duties that volunteers can help with, such as cleaning, socializing with pets, taking dogs on walks, feeding, and volunteering as foster parents.
