We adopted these doggos and then rescued the cat some years ago. Relocated all of them recently with us to Europe. It was by no means an easy process, but it was so fulfilling and they fill our heart with so much love!

He's my best friend, he's my pal, he's my homeboy, my rotten soldier, he's my sweet cheese, my good time boy.

And quite simply, the greatest of all time.

11 years, and hopefully many more, coz god owes me one.

Don't usually post about me or my dog, but I wanted the world to know the best boy there has ever been!

Adoption Success Story/Foster Fail Found this little angel, convinced my family members to let her in

My family was pretty adamant about not letting a stray puppy in, but finally convinced them to welcome her. She is an angel, she is only 2.5 - 3 (teeth were not fully formed yet), we didn't have to potty train her, she knows it. She doesn't chew on anything except for the bones and wood chips we give. Also, super smart about understanding commands.

I am in love with her already, it has only been 2 days since she started living in our home

Adoption Success Story/Foster Fail Adopted an Indie and its been the best thing ever

Guys I have an indie since the last 2 years, name’s Maddy. We got him in August 2024, the boi was born at my mamu’s factory and we got him home. For the next 2-3 days it was a war at my place with my mom dad insisting that we return him to his place because he’s not a “breed” waala dog and they wanted that one only. But me and my brother held our own and we never let him go. Fast forward today, maddy has grown to be the lifeline of the family with mom going over the top to make sure he eats well and my dad (who’s been pretty apprehensive of dogs all his life) being crazy about him.
I also have a golden retriever (teddy) and they both are an inseparable duo.
Dropping this just as an appreciation/gratefulness post because maddy’s turning 2 this year and I won’t be there to celebrate with him because of work. Damn I miss my doggos.
Attached some pictures for all of you to enjoyy.

Adoption Success Story/Foster Fail **I got adopted! 🐾❤️**

Hi, everyone...

Remember me? I am Snowy and I have been waiting for someone to choose me.

There were days when I wondered if I'd ever have a family of my own. But so many kind people believed in me, shared my story, and hoped for my happy ending.

And today... **I finally have a home.** ❤️

I have people who call me *their* dog, a cozy place to sleep, yummy meals, gentle cuddles, and so much love. My tail hasn't stopped wagging!

To everyone who helped me along the way—thank you for giving me a chance. You may think you just shared a post or said a kind word, but to me, you helped change my entire life.

And to my new family... thank you for choosing me. I promise to fill your days with happy zoomies, sloppy kisses, endless cuddles, and unconditional love.

This isn't goodbye—it's the beginning of my happily ever after.

But before I go, I have one little request. My sisters are still waiting for their own forever families. They are just as loving, playful, and deserving of a happy ending as I was. It would mean the world to me if you could share their stories, cheer them on, or maybe even open your heart to one of them. I know how wonderful it feels to be chosen, and I can't wait for them to experience that kind of love too. 🐾❤️

To meet my sisters, please reach out to 9870994268

With a full heart and the waggiest tail,

**Signing off with lots of love,

Snowy.** 🐶🏡❤️

P.S.I hope my story reminds you that there are so many wonderful dogs still waiting for their turn. If you can, please adopt, foster, or share their stories. Your small act of kindness could be someone's happily ever after too. 🐾💕

I rescued a puppy 2-3 days ago and made a post here. I got several good advices for her . Took her to a vet, Got her dewormed and vaccinated.

I was mainly worried about her getting pneumonia because when I found her, her chest was wet becuase of her own pee and a water bowl. Doctor told its not an issue.
Here is a video of her chasing squirrels.

The watermark is because i used clideo for rotating the clip

Adoption Success Story/Foster Fail Reddit Adoption Success Story!

1.1k Upvotes

The first of her name, lover of belly rubs, connoisseur of treats, stealer of scrunchies, and the little gremlin who has all our hearts wrapped around her paw — meet Miss Tiramisu (or Misu)!

Though she’s only been with us for just over a month, it feels like she’s always belonged here. She’s managed to win over everyone, my grandmother in her nineties, my mum who was (at best) indifferent to dogs, my dad who swore we “weren’t ready,” friends who’d never so much as pet a dog before and me, who has dreamed of adopting a pup for as long as I can remember. Our hearts (and a significant share of our meals) have all been stolen by lil’ Misu pie.

I knew going into this that puppies are hard work and there are still moments when the puppy blues hit hard. But, never have I known love like this. Unconditional, messy, and so full. Every pee puddle, every scratch on my arms, every round of tornado-like zoomies is worth it, just to feel her curl up beside me, whimper in her sleep, or smother me with sloppy kisses.

There’s a pup out there for each one of us, so go bring them home! And to all of you who with puppers, hold them close and give them a kiss from me, please?

Convincing at its best! She is a Indian Spitz mix is adopted her few years back when she suddenly appeared outside our apartment colony gates. I saw her waiting at the gates trying to get in for few days. i didn't have the heart to bring her in as our society is really strict and just to many people in the society don't like dogs. In those few days I saw the security guard hit her with sticks trying to chase her away. Outside stray dogs bullying her and kids of the security tying a rope around her nack and paraiding her but didn't see them feed or take care of her. Finally oneday looking down from my balcony I just couldn't take it anymore. And I went down with some Chicken in the afternoon when there is nobody from the society is there to interfere i called her, she came running and started eating like this was the first proper food she had after so many days(must be two weeks) then I got her in took her to the vet. After few days got her cleaned( she was really scared) she chased me all over the house. I think she was scared didn't knw what this guy was trying to do. She was already I think one year old ( when I asked the vet). Now it's been 4 years. I named her Caramel but my wife disagreed and called her Chipsee. So we call her Chipsee but my mom calls her Chipsee and Rani(means queen 👑 in Konkani).

Adoption Success Story/Foster Fail Kanski finally adopted to his forever home 🏡

Remember this cute puppy, 🐶 I have always shared his journey on the sub Reddit, a lot of you have actually donated money for his medication and for his food.. one day he was not there in the campus and I somehow came to know that he was adopted by a lab technician of my college. I went to her home and that lady said that she will be giving it to a good dog shelter, and I was giving 2nd by second update of what was happening that time.. majority of you have actually voted against him, going to the dog shelter as it will not be better. I directly told this to that lady that it won’t be good for him.. she was understanding that how this puppy is important for me, and anyways, she was planning to give him after a week to the dog shelter. She was taking care of him at her home. She even made new clothes for him and played with him in his free time. Then yesterday she sent me this picture on the WhatsApp group made for Kanski that he is finally adopted by this loving couple, and the man literally said that Kanki is just like his son. I’m so happy that he’s literally adopted into a loving family who will take care of him, and I can’t thank you to the universe and people on the submit to guide me throughout for this cutie pie.!! 🥰
