I don't know if it's the holiday season, but my emotions are all over the place. So, whenever I need to feel something, I run right over to the "BeforeNAfterAdoption" subreddit where families are encouraged to share photos of their rescued animals. Here are pets whose lives have been forever changed by a good home:

Luckily, a foster mom found her, took her to a vet, and successfully placed her in a new home.
